We’ve joined forces across civil society & have written a joint letter to the HM Treasury advising urgent tax reform on the UK’s heaviest, most polluting cars.

We’re calling for change: a straightforward large vehicle levy, that would raise nearly £2bn for vital public investment.

Cargo bikes. They're not for everyone, but for a lot of people they can and do replace a lot of car trips. Good news for people that want less traffic.

Must watch video on cargo bike research 😎
