Our theme for the day is: ‘Does new housing development have to mean more traffic and more roads? Are there other options?’

We'll hear from Lisa Hopkinson of Transport for Quality of Life and John Lauwerys of Hampshire Campaign for the Protection of Rural England. We'll take part in discussion workshops and get the opportunity to network with groups working on sustainable transport across the south coast.

Please arrive at 1pm to give time to settle in. Lunch will be provided. There will be vegetarian and vegan options. Other dietary requirements can be catered for if enough notice is given.

South Coast Alliance for Transport and the Environment (SCATE) is a network of campaign and action groups which aims to:

Promote sustainable transport solutions (for personal travel and freight)

Seek better land use, infrastructure and transport planning to reduce the need to travel and dependence on the private car

Oppose damaging road-building schemes along the south coast corridor

Ensure that the environment is properly valued (for its contribution to the economy and human health) and that full consideration in particular is given to impacts on landscape, biodiversity and climate change in all decision making.
