Cycle Lewes responds to Transport for the South East's draft Transport Strategy
The strategy says that with the right investment in our region’s transport network the South East’s economy will more than double over the next thirty years – from £183bn to between £450bn and £500bn per year – creating an additional 500,000 jobs, boosting quality of life and access to opportunities and helping cut the South East’s carbon emissions to net-zero.
However, together with other cycle groups in the region, Cycle Lewes has serious concerns about the document as TfSE predicts rise in car ownership and reduction in walking and cycling.
