This is an excerpt from Sir Peter on his opinion in the Worthing Herald. "I admire the more practical interest of Campbell Muirhead, Worthing Green Taxis. He is keen to reduce pollution from vehicle travel, including tyres and brakes"

Adur & Worthing Councils declared a Climate Emergency in 2019, with a target to be net zero carbon by 2030 for our own operations and 2045 for the district and borough as a whole. Transport emissions produces 27% of UK emissions and the taxi trade will therefore have a significant role to play in helping us achieve these targets."

It is so important that we work to make transportation more environmentally friendly, particularly with regards to the vehicles on the roads. Taxis are important for so many people across Worthing and the use of electric or hybrid vehicles within the industry will be crucial to reducing carbon emissions and ultimately reducing our impact on the environment"

The Labour Group of councillors in WBC welcomes green initiatives in all sectors of our Town's economy. Alongside an extensive and improved walking and cycling network, we promote the 'greening' of private and public transport. There is an urgent need to improve air quality throughout the Town. Accordingly we will support the roll out of an electric vehicle ( including bikes) charging system across all neighbourhoods."

Future vehicle pollution will not come from the tailpipe, but from tyres. The Tyre Collective aims to mitigate emissions by capturing it at the source, stopping it from entering our environment.
