"The Government’s Vision for Low Carbon Transport"
The government’ is eager to earn the reputation of ‘the greenest government ever’.
The recently published White Paper, which goes some way in achieving the ambition, aims to allow communities to initiate "innovative" transport schemes. The announcement of the £560m Local Sustainable Transport Fund will be significant in tackling climate change and deliver cleaner environments as well as help economic growth.
There will also be a panel debate taking place in the afternoon:

In an era of austerity how can sustainable solutions within transport be achieved. Is the answer purely with investment or can traditional habits, such as the nation’s love affair with the car, be broken to achieve environmental reconciliation.
