The Budget on roads: how was it for you?

Article Abstract:

The Nov. 1996 UK budget should have focused on much needed tax incentives to help reduce road traffic, says Transport 2000 director Lynn Sloman. The government's current road-building policy, temporarily halted due to lack of funds, is misguided and short-sighted. By-pass road systems only provide short-term relief to urban traffic congestion as more building developments are inevitable. Green commuter plans to reduce traffic including public transport discounts and car sharing alternatives are discussed.

Revised guidance on waste is 'sound', says the RTPI

Article Abstract:

The Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) supports the Department of Environment's proposed Revision of Planning Policy Guidance Note 23 Planning and pollution control on waste issues but offers a number of suggestions to enhance various aspects of the proposals. The RTPI believes that planning authorities are vital to the development of sensible waste management policy and for effective public communications, says assistant public affairs officer Vicky Green. Other issues are discussed.
