This blog post is one year old today. And still no sign of the promised station. Will the upcoming new towns be all vision, no reality too when it comes to transport? www.transportfornewhomes.org.uk/transit-orie...

12 sites recommended for new towns in England, with three (Tempsford, Crews Hill and Leeds Southbank) likely to be taken forward in the coming years. www.housingtoday.co.uk/news/three-n...

Article highlights how important the work of @transportfornewhomes.org.uk & @planningtransport.co.uk is. It’s not ok for large new developments to be built without access to the basics these new communities need, including a corner shop, playground & community centre.

I'm quoted here for @transportfornewhomes.org.uk with nice things to say about the government new towns plan. But they've got to come through with building at a scale to support basic things like bus routes and a high street. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Transport for New Homes needs to raise about £4,000 to get on a sustainable footing for the year ahead. It is a constant struggle to keep organisations like this from going under.

We are back at "high expectations". @transportfornewhomes.org.uk www.transportfornewhomes.org.uk/rail-is-miss...

Our @planningtransport.co.uk spoke to @theguardian.com about how car dependent housing is causing loneliness. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

With a comment from me. @transportfornewhomes.org.uk

We believe new housing should be built so that residents can walk, cycle and use public transport to go about their daily lives. Sign up to our newsletter to find out what we are doing to help make this a reality. buff.ly/EJ41rry

Our new research in the @bigissue.com in an article by @lgeraghty23.bsky.social ...

Housing targets are surging under Labour's plan to build 1.5 million homes but public transport is not keeping up, new analysis has found.

We took the Government's new housing targets for local authority areas and mapped them against public transport staisfaction levels. Read our latest blog, to find out what we discovered: www.transportfornewhomes.org.uk/high-housing...

Donations literally keep us going.

As the Planning & Infrastructure Bill reaches the House of Lords, we've co-signed a letter calling for a new framework to limit congestion from new homes. green-alliance.org.uk/press-releas... @green-alliance.org.uk @bettertransport.bsky.social @cyclinguk.bsky.social @transportaction.bsky.social

This morning @transportfornewhomes.org.uk published new research which found areas with high housing targets also have poor public transport links... newstartmag.co.uk/articles/hou... #housing #transport #government #housingtargets

🏠🚗 As the planning and infrastructure bill hits the Lords today, we've joined @greenpeaceuk.bsky.social , @cyclinguk.bsky.social ‪‬& others in a joint letter to govt calling for planning law changes to prevent new homes creating traffic chaos. 1/3

Housing targets should come with cash for public transport, but instead are putting new homes in places that have the worst satisfaction for getting around. newstartmag.co.uk/articles/hou... @transportfornewhomes.org.uk

Our latest research shows the Government’s new housing plan risks creating hundreds of thousands of car-dependent homes, with some of the highest housing targets in areas with the lowest levels of public transport satisfaction: www.transportfornewhomes.org.uk/figures-reve...

New homes are being built in places with negative satisfaction in public transport. @transportfornewhomes.org.uk www.bigissue.com/news/housing...

“Why are we still building housing developments that ingrain dependence on cars? This contributes to air pollution and isolation of residents who develop cognitive impairment.” Important argument for role of healthier environments and prevention in helping to manage dementia better👇

It's beyond disappointing a brand new housing estate being built right next to the NET Terminus @Clifton Sth & which has land reserved for NET thru the development has no sign of an extension to it coming any time soon. Of course a brand new main road through the the site has already been completed.

The Spending Review included much needed transport funding for our city regions, but very little for rural areas dealing with high housing targets & poor public transport. In this blog, we look at why we're still not making the link between new housing & public transport: buff.ly/kNDZmeQ

England outside the cities is expected to put up with buses, but they aren't always the best way to get around. We need funding for new metros where housebuilding is planned. www.transportfornewhomes.org.uk/where-is-the... @transportfornewhomes.org.uk

Tomorrow the Chancellor will lay out her spending plans for transport and housing. Our recent report - What is being built is in 2025 - recommended that house building and public transport should be better connected to ensure we build homes for people, not cars. Read the report:

Each year we visit new housing developments to find out whether they are properly served by good public transport and designed for walking and cycling. As we plan our next round of visits, we need your help! Use the link to tell us where we should go this year:

We believe that everyone should have access to attractive housing, located and designed to ensure that people do not need to use or own cars to live a full life.

In this, the final blog in our series exploring the themes of our latest report - What is being built in 2025? - we examine an alternative way of building the new homes we so urgently need, one that is quicker and helps rengerate town and city centres. Read it here: buff.ly/12LtH1I
