@ColasRailUK you have no contact details on your website to make a noise complaint. There was no notification to residents of 4 days of pile driving near Addenbrookes Hospital Great Shelford Cambridge. Who is the local contact? @networkrail #communityengagement

Our approach to sustainable travel has seen 500 of our people switch to electric and low carbon vehicles, a big reason why we have cut 3,000 tonnes of carbon from our transport emissions since 2018. So delighted this progress has been recognised with an honour at the #edieAwards

As a decision on granting permission for a new coal mine in Cumbria looms, some facts:

- 85% of coal produced would be for export, not domestic use

- two major UK steel producers won’t necessarily use much of the coal, not least due to its composition and sulphur content

[Willmott Dixon @WillmottDixon]

By 2026, the West Midlands wants to reduce carbon use by 33% across local transport, homes, and businesses.

What does this mean for the built environment?

We explored this with local experts...
