Reducing the number of car journeys by 20%, ensuring that 30% of all cars will be electric by 2030, and installing solar panels on all public buildings by 2025 are among the key measures in the Government’s Climate Action Plan to be announced today.

Public servants living in urban areas well served by public transport are likely to see a reduction in the availability of car parking spaces under the plan.
