Foreword
The A2 as it runs beside the sea on its approach to Dover.
Protecting the environment has always been a high priority for the Highways Agency. In 1996 we published our first Environmental Strategic Plan 'Living with Roads'. We are proud of our achievements in protecting and enhancing the environment, and this document demonstrates our ambition to do more.
In the light of the Government's Integrated Transport Policy White Paper and 'A New Deal for Trunk Roads in England', we have revisited our plan to consider how all our activities support the delivery of the environmental aims of integration in its widest sense. This has led us to review all our activities and to consider new areas.
Specifically in our redefined role as a network operator, our plan must consider a wider vision, not just 'living with roads', but working with others to pursue the best use of roads and the use of other non-road alternatives.
Of course we recognise that we cannot deliver our plan alone. Much must be achieved in partnership with the community. We look forward to working with all those with a shared ambition to protect and enhance the environment.
