Website update: new page for our media coverage and social share buttons have been added to blog posts. www.transportfornewhomes.org.uk/media/covera...

Reports by NGOs like @neweconomics.bsky.social and @transportfornewhomes.org.uk have hammered home the same message again and again since then. Please respond to this important consultation and demand better transport in new development! actionnetwork.org/letters/dema...

Consultation: respond to government plans for spatial development strategy geographic areas. Respond for your area, this is a quick one. We think bigger is better. www.transportfornewhomes.org.uk/spatial-deve...

Strategic planning is something we've been calling for, to better locate new homes where there are jobs and public transport. www.transportfornewhomes.org.uk/about-us/our...

Our reflections on the 2026 NPPF update consultation. www.transportfornewhomes.org.uk/reflections-...

🎂 Transport for New Homes is 10 years old in 2026. This blog post takes a look back at what we've achieved. www.transportfornewhomes.org.uk/ten-years-of...

Revamped website for @transportfornewhomes.org.uk - lots of research showing the gap between the good words in planning policy on sustainable transport and then what actually built on the ground: www.transportfornewhomes.org.uk

Website had a refresh. Everything is still there, but should be easier to find. www.transportfornewhomes.org.uk

NEW: 50+ transport and health groups have written to the Government calling for clear targets in the upcoming Cycling & Walking Investment Strategy 3, as well as a comprehensive plan for a national active travel network, matching the long-term strategic focus given to roads.

We agree! Good to see the NPPF taking transport into account, but don't forget the rest of what makes places work for everyone.

Our appeal had its most successful day yet this week. Thank you to all who have contributed. You can still make donations to support our work here: actionnetwork.org/fundraising/...

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...
