Spend more on trees and less on roads - advisors to Government
Bodies set up to advise Government on the built and natural environment are calling for a shift in emphasis on public spend, with more cash needed for green spaces and urban tree planting.
This funding could be made available by cutting the cash spent on 'grey' build such as expanding the road network.
This is the conclusion not of radical green groups, but of key government advisors The Commission for Architecture & the Built Environment (CABE) and Natural England.
