Walking and cycling could prevent thousands of premature deaths

More than 13,000 premature deaths from air pollution could be prevented over the next decade if councils could get more people to walk and cycle, according to a new report.

The report out today, by the national charity Sustrans and the environmental consultancy Eunomia, claims that if targets to double journeys by bike and increase walking by 300 trips per person in the England’s Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy were met, more than 8,300 premature deaths from air pollution would be prevented.

EV charge networks hit back at ‘unreliable’ claims

Electric vehicle (EVs) charge point providers have hit back at claims that the current network is ‘unreliable’.

A survey by the website Click4Reg.co.uk claimed 88% of EV drivers believe the current public charge network in the UK is ‘unreliable’ and a similar number (82%) believe the government is not keeping up with the demand for public EV charge points.
