Jonathan Bartley says the response to the COVID-19 pandemic has shown we can create a safer world, if governments take action now.
It would be wrong to celebrate these things that have come as tens of thousands have died from the pandemic and millions face huge hardship.
For many businesses, charities and other organisations the penny has dropped that jobs we thought couldn't be done from home actually can be.But now is the time for Government to provide greater incentives and support for home and flexible working for those who want it.UK traffic levels have fallen dramatically but there are signs car use is starting to pick up again
So it also makes sense to scrap the road expansion programme and invest the money in the country's low carbon infrastructure, whether that be better broadband to enable more effective homeworking or cheaper and better public transport. We need to see a stronger and bigger renewable industry, lower fuel bills and the creation of hundreds of thousands of new green jobs at the heart of our recovery from this crisis.There should be no bailouts for the big polluters that we have all subsidised for too long from our taxes.
