Tackling Car-dependent New Housing

With Jenny Raggett, Director and Project Coordinator at Transport for New Homes.

Jenny will share her personal experiences of local campaigning to resist car-dependent new developments, while pressing for homes to be concentrated around good public transport and other key destinations (e.g. schools, shops, healthcare facilities), ensuring that these are easily reachable by active travel and local transport services.

“According to Peter Bates, Chair of the East Cambridgeshire Climate Action, this is a growing issue in East Cambridgeshire with a large number of new housing developments in Ely, Littleport, Soham and the villages. Some creative thinking is needed by planners, developers and decision-makers to identify some good solutions. Hopefully, this webinar will point people in the right direction.”
