Towards a balance with nature - Highways Agency Environment Strategic Plan

Working with People

M62 over Saddleworth Moor

The Council for the Protection of Rural England praised the Agency's efforts to cut down pollution of the night sky on the M62 over Saddleworth Moor.

Issue

Only through broad cooperation across a broad range of views from interested organisations and individuals can the full benefits of our environmental plan and Government policy towards trunk roads and the environment be delivered.

Objective

To seek the involvement of all groups within local communities so we can understand wider transport issues and how our activities affect the environment in these communities.

Actions will include:

  • Increasing environmental awareness among our staff and contractors.
  • Seeking to facilitate partnerships to bring about environmental improvement and community ownership.
  • Continuing to develop better relationships with other transport operators, government and non-governmental organisations and above all with the general public.
