Government faces legal challenge on cut to active travel budget — lawyers acting for the Transport Action Network say the move bypassed legal processes and undermines climate emergency and air pollution commitments cycling
, as lawyers acting on behalf of Transport Action Network have written to the Department for Transport seeking a judicial review into the cuts., the claim has been made that the active travel budget cuts bypassed legal processes and risk undermining commitments about air pollution and the climate emergency.
TAN, currently crowdfunding the £40,000 cost of the case, also argues that the DfT's claim that more than £3 billion is being spent on active travel during this parliament includes budgets from other departments that may benefit active travel, but do not provide evidence of how. He suggested the March cut could be"the Jenga block that makes climate, air quality, levelling up and health plans all come tumbling down".
