Local campaigning

All over the country, people are fighting for better, more sustainable transport where they live (we've posted a few of their stories online). Fed up with dangerous streets and poor public transport, or appalled by plans to build damaging new roads, they've decided to take a stand.

If there's a transport problem in your area, you don't have to put up with it. By campaigning, you can make things better: this section of the site will show you how.

Local campaigning groups

You don't have to campaign alone: there are local groups already fighting for better transport all over the country. There's strength in numbers, so join your local group to campaign more effectively.
