#Derby is still trying to 'upgrade' the A38, even though it was found that the plans (#ris2) were contrary to the government's #netzero pledges and was blocked.

For more information please see here: https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/stop-the-a38-road-expansion-for-good/

There will be 4 years of construction, many established trees felled, and some perfectly good houses destroyed.

I used to think it would be good to change the junction as it was always a bottleneck, but we can't just keep making more and more space available for cars.

🚝 Meanwhile the government set aside just £500 million to reopen #railway lines

✂️ But guess which one they want to cut ...

🚄 Across Europe, governments are encouraging people to use #publictransport by making it affordable.

💰 We could fund cheaper travel by scrapping the road building programme #RIS2

@ibikebrighton I’m here all day for the death of #RIS2 and #RIS3

The Chancellor failed to take the opportunity to save billions in tax rises by scrapping white elephant road schemes in the #AutumnStatement.

Scrapping the 5 most damaging road schemes in #RIS2 could save the Exchequer £16bn and avoid an extra 17 million tonnes of carbon.
