Commenting on the report from RAC, which reveals that one in three motorists are more reliant on their cars than they were 12 months ago, Xavier Brice, CEO for Sustrans, the walking and cycling charity said:
“With the UK’s air pollution a daily headline, there has never been a more important time to shift short journeys away from cars towards healthy, clean alternatives such as getting around by foot or on bike.
“One in four car trips are under two miles – a distance that can be walked or cycled.
“The research by RAC is a reminder to governments at all levels to take urgent action and prioritise the development of safe and high quality walking and cycling routes, alongside engagement programmes, to enable more people to walk and cycle.”
