A way through the mire

Article Abstract:

The Land Access and Recreation Association (Lara) are in dispute with the Green Lanes Environmental Actions Movement (Gleam) concerning the use of motorized vehicles on green lanes. Legislation in the UK specifies that vehicles may be used on public highways which are not defined as a bridleway or footpath. Supporters of Gleam maintain that recreational vehicles are causing damage to the environment and to other users of the highways. Those who support Lara point out that everyone should be able to enjoy the countryside and have issued a code of conduct for their members.

Bristol plans 200m pounds sterling transport reforms

Article Abstract:

It is hoped that a new 200 million pounds sterling transport scheme will cut car journeys into Bristol, England, by half. The scheme also aims to reduce traffic in the Bristol area as a whole by 10% and eliminate through traffic from the central area. Furthermore, a target of doubling the number of people cycling to work by 2002 has been set, with this number to double again by 2012. Half the funding for the scheme will be taken up by a planned rapid transit rail system.
