A national newspaper advertising campaign is being launched today to question the Government’s house building policies. At the same time a new survey shows there is little public support for the plans.
The results of the survey are published today by the Campaign for the Protection of Rural England, which commissioned ICM to carry out the ‘Public Attitudes to Housing Expansion’ study. It shows that more than half of respondents are opposed to the plans for three million new homes by 2020. 

A motoring organisation is calling today for stronger planning frameworks and more powerful organisations to develop Britain’s strategic road network to ensure the country has a transport infrastructure for the 21st century. The RAC foundation says indecision and poor management have resulted in immeasurable setbacks to the development of UK roads.
