We're a group of concerned local residents who have been taking our government to court since 2021 to stop the A38 Derby junctions road scheme.
Outside of Alstom's railway event, we handed out hundreds of leaflets. Many people want to see money spent on clean, reliable rail not destructive, polluting road schemes like the A38 expansion. Let’s keep up the momentum, write to key decision makers now: actionnetwork.org/letters/take...

Four years and 3 months in prison for one tree. While Government ministers use millions of tax money to destroy thousands of trees because they can't be bothered to go back to the drawing board and develop a sustainable, non-destructive solution for the A38 Derby junctions.

The A38 road expansion in Derby is an outdated scheme that assumes roads can keep expanding, destroying nearby nature, green spaces and homes so that traffic can keep increasing indefinitely.

Write and demand investment in sustainable transport instead: www.a38derbychaos.org/take-action

The A38 road expansion will increase traffic and pollution while felling thousands of trees. 🌲😞

Tell our leaders we demand better transport solutions to protect all of our futures. We have a page with a template letter, key points, and addresses of people to contact here:👇

We're in a climate and nature crisis, tell the Government to scrap destructive and polluting road schemes like the A38 expansion and invest in public transport instead.

We're in a climate and nature crisis that is already causing destruction and death all over the world including here in the UK.

Tell the Government to scrap climate and nature-wrecking road schemes like the A38 expansion and invest in sustainable transport solutions instead.

This Government road scheme threatens thousands of trees in Derby.

Trees filter the air, give shade, support wildlife, prevent flooding, and capture carbon to fight climate change.🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲

Take action with us to save thousands of trees.👇💚

After years of campaigning, the Government is finally reviewing the destructive A38 Derby Junctions road scheme.

The new Labour Government is reviewing infrastructure spending, and many road schemes have already been cancelled.
