About Us

The North West Transport Activists Roundtable (NW TAR) is one of eight regional roundtables run under the auspices of the Campaign for Better Transport (formerly Transport 2000). We are an umbrella organisation whose purpose is to promote sustainable transport and sustainable land use to regional agencies and local authorities. We operate mainly by engaging in transport and planning policy work and by serving on a number of regional and sub-regional bodies, but we also hold about three open meetings a year.

What's New?

The North West Transport Roundtable and Friends of the Earth came together as 'The Alliance' to appear as major objectors at the Mersey Gateway public inquiry which ran from May 19 to June 25. Our closing statement is here.

Anne Robinson, of Friends of the Peak District/ CPRE Peak District & South Yorkshire, gives her perspectives in 'The Mottram Tintwistle Bypass lingers on and on...'.

What's On?

There are two big up-coming charity cycle events in the North West, both in aid of the Christie Hospital: the Manchester-Blackpool bike ride on July 12 and the Manchester 100 on September 6.

On Thursday 16th July, 12.30-4.30pm, MERCi are holding an event 'Go Green to Stay Black' to help third sector organisations to increase their chances of funding and stay in the black.
