Support falls for no-car initiative
THERE has been a collapse in the number of British towns supporting World Car Free Day on September 22.
The annual event that encourages motorists in over 1,000 towns around the globe to leave their cars at home in favour of bicycles, trains and buses.
And the lack of interest can be blamed on slashed budgets for local government and dwindling interest in the environment, according to the Environmental Transport Association (ETA); the organisation that first coordinated the event in Britain.
Over the last decade, an average of over 50 British towns each year have staged events to highlight alternatives to car travel, but this year the number has plummeted to fewer than ten.

World Car Free Day continues to draw support from elsewhere; with over 550 events organised.
