The issues:

Road-building damaging the countryside

More roads are bad for the countryside

It’s clear to see how road building damages the landscape. But the knock-on effects are less obvious, as the damage continues and builds up over the years.

Update:

Cyclists are squeezed between cars on busy roads.

Making cycling a better choice

We believe cycling should be an attractive and safe option for people in town and country. We very much welcome The Times campaign to improve conditions for cycling in cities but believe it important to consider ways to make cycling safer in rural areas too.
