Improving cycle infrastructure and public transport has little impact on car use, new review finds
These non-coercive measures need to be combined with measures such as higher driving costs or reduced car access to have an effect

We're not doing a very good job of reducing CO₂ emissions from burning fossil fuels, but maybe we can do something about other greenhouse gases like CH₄ from leaky gas wells and pipes, belching cows, and rotting organic matter, N₂O from agriculture, and HFCs from refrigeration.

Interesting that amongst concerns raised was the desire for better connected #walking & #cycling paths, & reducing traffic speeds, issues which we've campaigned on for many years now, and still do. #Eastbourne is far too dependent upon cars for getting around. Damages both #environment & #wellbeing.
Residents' worries about overflowing bins and poor lighting have been a theme of meetings about how to spend the first phase of the Eastbourne town fund, worth up to £20 million over ten years.
