News: Read the Joint submission on the Eco-towns Planning Policy Statement by Carfree UK, Campaign for Better Transport, the CTC, Friends of the Earth and Sustrans

Carfree UK was formed by a group of researchers, transport planners and environmentalists with the aim of promoting carfree development and its environmental, social, financial and health benefits.

On this website you will find information about carfree areas elsewhere in Europe, research into carfree development and how to improve on the current situation in the UK today. Carfree UK has worked with other environmental organisations and Government departments on the eco-towns programme. Although we have some reservations about many of the shortlisted locations, this programme does promise to deliver substantial carfree areas for the first time in Britain.

We support and aim to participate as a member organisation of the World Carfree Network.
