- New Draft Ports National Policy Statement Consultation Response
The Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) believes that the draft Ports National Policy Statement is seriously flawed. As there is sufficient port capacity in existence or already approved for the next twenty years, there cannot be said to be a 'compelling case' for providing as much new capacity as possible. There should be much more emphasis on shifting traffic accessing ports from road onto rail and looking at a wider range of alternatives to building new ports to meet demand.

- New Response to the refresh of the Setting Local Speed Limits Circular
- The Campaign to Protect Rural England believes the changes to the use of 20mph in urban areas as a significant step in the right direction but remains concerned that no change is proposed for rural speed limits, particularly on country lanes. We welcome the recognition of the wider impact of speed limits but believe that updated guidance should to follow the new circular to prevent confusion and encourage lighter touch traffic calming.

A response by CPRE London to the consultation on the draft strategy
The London branch of the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE London) welcomes a number of the the strategy's high-level ideas, such as better public space, greater use of the Thames, public transport upgrades, car clubs and cycle hire. However, we are concerned that the strategy does not do enough to support the growth of cycling and walking, and could hinder London's economic development, carbon impact and quality of life (including tranquillity and air quality).- Consultation response
