❓Did you know that a transport infrastructure review is currently taking place? 😟While it is very welcome, we have some concerns... 1) It's not being held in public 2) It's unclear who is advising Louise Haigh. National Highways? Companies involved with road projects? 🧵

We always hoped our fight in Surrey would have wider impacts. So good to see that happen with today's announcement: the Govt won't defend the development consents for Rosebank & Jackdaw. Here's a #StopRosebank banner on the Horse Hill gates. gov.uk/government/news/certa…

Did you know? Replacing flights with rail on the UK's two most-used air routes would save 1.75 million tonnes CO2 per year. More info here: flightfree.co.uk/post/should… Sign the petition to ban domestic flights with a 4.5 hr rail link here: petition.parliament.uk/petit…

On the way to Gatwick airport to speak at the Hearing for the proposed expansion. The airport is relying heavily on the govt’s Jet Zero policy to deal with emissions from flights, so it can justify the expansion. But Jet Zero won’t bring emissions down.

THE SCIENCE IS CLEAR - Steve MacDonald knows it, Sarah Finch knows it, we all know it. We can't afford to allow any new fossil fuel sites to go ahead or we risk leaving an uninhabitable planet behind for our kids and grandkids. wealdactiongroup.org.uk #CountTheCarbon #BackOffHH
