London Plan will increase traffic and pollution in the capital
The Campaign for Better Transport warns that the London Plan, which sets out an integrated environmental, economic, transport and social framework for London for the next 20 to 25 years, will increase traffic and pollution levels and reduce the quality of life for Londoners.
A number of recommendations in the official inspectors’ report in May and put forward by Campaign for Better Transport, were rejected by the Mayor and did not make it into the final plan. This includes re-instating the road user hierarchy which places the needs of pedestrians, cyclists and buses first in planning before considering the needs of motorists and creating a stronger policy in favour of road user charging should it be needed.
