- 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.

- Running to Stand Still
- The first heavyweight analysis of the Government’s Ten-Year Transport Plan written by Professor Phil Goodwin, who advised on the preparation of the Government's Transport White Paper. His analysis reveals that the Government's targets for reducing congestion are misleading and the benefits of measures to boost bus use and walking and cycling have been underestimated. The research raises major questions about the current direction of transport policy and sets out the case for a change in approach.
