Our Labour government is on the side of drivers.
This Easter, over a thousand miles of roadworks will be lifted to make journeys smoother, and thanks to Labour’s Plan for Change, drivers are set to be £500 better off ✅

For the first time, the Norwegian government has calculated the value to society of the health benefits of increased walking and cycling.

Nye tall fra Helsedirektoratet viser at vi sparer:

🚶♀️ 49 kr for hver km folk går
Det er sammenlignet med at folk ikke er i fysisk aktivitet, f.eks. om de kjører bil.
