The CPRE has just published new research which identifies that new road schemes generally produce much less in the way of economic benefits and congestion relief than predicted and have a more damaging impact on the environment and landscape.

The full report, which CPRE commissioned from the research consultancy Transport for Quality of Life, is available here: http://www.cpre.org.uk/resources/transport/roads/item/4542-the-impact-of-road-projects-in-england.

 There is also a summary report, which includes CPRE’s recommendations for future transport policy in England [PDF]: http://www.cpre.org.uk/resources/transport/roads/item/download/4858.
