The Sustainable Transport Strategy aims to enhance transport accessibility for all, especially disabled and older residents, and improve public realm and street design. For Alex, who is registered blind and travels by public transport or by walking, accessibility is important. He explains that the way roads, crossings or how the stations are laid out can have an impact. If you have any additional needs or disabilities, please have your say at: http://bit.ly/sts-consultation | Sutton Council

The Sustainable Low Emission Urban Transport System Project will replace around 300 taxis in the country with electric vehicles by the end of this year. As part of the project, more than 50 electric vehicles were distributed to cab drivers in Thimphu today. The project is one of the country’s largest environmental projects. | BBS
