Read more about the proposed Tram Network. The Light Rail Transit Association (LRTA) published a detailed proposal for a four-line Derby tram network, with an estimated total cost of around £500 million. The scheme is designed to shift large numbers of journeys away from private cars, cut congestion and pollution, and support long-term regeneration of Derby city centre and key employment sites. This proposal directly reinforces what we have been saying throughout the A38 campaign: hundreds of millions of pounds would deliver far greater benefits if invested in public transport rather than road expansion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2c8bb954405918ab86008d/1bb50d0f-0009-4950-83ae-9af78fc10817/A38+Derby+impacts+map.jpg News on the Stop the A38 Expansion Campaign - Better Alternatives to the A38 Road Expansion - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2c8bb954405918ab86008d/6157fc4f-b304-46fa-859f-bd5119c809dd/Traffic-lights.jpeg News on the Stop the A38 Expansion Campaign - Better Alternatives to the A38 Road Expansion These could be delivered quickly to ease congestion and improve safety: More and smarter traffic signals at junctions like Kingsway and replacing the Ashbourne Road zebra crossing.

The pinch-point programme was started in 2011 to relieve congestion, stimulate growth in local economies and improve safety but their own report showed most schemes had failed to do this. The negative impacts of the A38 expansion on local people and the environment far outweigh any claimed benefits but with National Highways predicting an increase in traffic and a minimum of 11,000 new developments surrounding the A38, can we really believe their claims? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2c8bb954405918ab86008d/c7a84453-bf42-4baf-91cd-4ebc9276dcf0/Screenshot+2023-10-03+152228.png News on the Stop the A38 Expansion Campaign - Exaggerated economic benefits of the A38 expansion - Make it stand out From examining road-building over the past 20 years, researchers found clear evidence that road schemes: ● induce traffic, often far above background trends over the longer term ● lead to permanent and significant environmental and landscape damage ● show little evidence of economic benefit to local economies. The roads failed to create the sustainable employment and economic growth we need. Instead, they encourage a new kind of infill ‘ribbon development’ of homes and industry along transport corridors, killing investment and regeneration in local town centres, while damaging the countryside. The present economic development model of roads ➞ car-based development ➞ traffic growth ➞ more roads is unsustainable and ineffective. Above all, it damages the vitality of town centres and our precious countryside. Provision of more road capacity does not deliver a stable situation – the more capacity is increased, the more capacity increases are ‘needed’, leading to the cycle illustrated in Figure 4. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2c8bb954405918ab86008d/3c58ba2e-0984-43cc-bacd-ae68ce45e572/Benefits+of+decarbonising+transport.png News on the Stop the A38 Expansion Campaign - Exaggerated economic benefits of the A38 expansion - Make it stand out Infographic by the Government on the co-benefits of sustainable transport. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2c8bb954405918ab86008d/dd9e1fc6-f255-4b27-b0fa-c7c7c0443deb/Current+transport+system+costs+on+wider+society.png News on the Stop the A38 Expansion Campaign - Exaggerated economic benefits of the A38 expansion - Make it stand out Current transport system costs on wider society. https://www.a38derbychaos.org/news/the-government-responded-to-our-legal-challenge monthly 0.5 2023-09-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2c8bb954405918ab86008d/e3f4d43c-4d32-42c9-b322-ca01b940bda8/Screenshot-2023-09-20-at-16.17.44.png News on the Stop the A38 Expansion Campaign - The Government responded to our legal challenge… - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.a38derbychaos.org/news/five-reasons-the-a38-expansion-is-still-unlawful monthly 0.5 2023-09-06 https://www.a38derbychaos.org/news/another-legal-challenge monthly 0.5 2023-08-18 https://www.a38derbychaos.org/news/whats-happening-with-the-a38-expansion monthly 0.5 2023-05-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2c8bb954405918ab86008d/a1fda1a3-d433-4506-9481-a951bd420ce8/a38-expansion-derby-news-2023.png News on the Stop the A38 Expansion Campaign - What's happening with the A38 Expansion?

Pause tree felling during the judicial review of the A38 junctions scheme - About 100,000 trees to be lost over Kingsway, Markeaton and Little Eaton A former Derby City Council professional gardener has calculated that the planned £250 million expansion of the A38 through Derby will cause the loss of up to 100,000 trees. Ironically, Simon Beavis, 63, who worked for the council in the 1980s, planted some of the trees, which were themselves put in as "mitigation" for those that were lost when the A38 through Derby was first built. Most people will probably be familiar with the iconic trees that will be lost at Markeaton Park but the scheme will result in the loss of many more trees than just those. All the trees at Kingsway Island and it's approaches will go together with those alongside the boundary of Mackworth Park. From Kingsway Island to Markeaton virtually all the trees on either side of the road and all those on the central reservation. From Abbey Hill Roundabout to Little Eaton Roundabout nearly all the trees on the southbound side. At Little Eaton Roundabout a large area for the construction compound and most of the woodland on the Breadsall side. None of the environmental assessments in the planning application give an actual number for the trees that will be lost and some Derby City councillors tried claim that not even 100 trees would be lost from the A38 expansion when residents objected to the scheme (these councillors had likely not looked at the planning document maps, visited the tree felling areas and certainly not set out to count the trees). So Simon Beavis set out to discover what that number is. Simon visited areas in the "red areas" in the Highways England maps that show where trees will be felled. Then marked out 20 sq metre grids, counted the numbers of trees in the grid and scaled it up to the area. Turns out around 100,000 will be lost. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2c8bb954405918ab86008d/1615123324583-OF96CIB9B9L8316DHXUT/2021-03-07_12h48_29.png Open Letter - Pause tree felling during the judicial review of the A38 junctions scheme “New trees can just be planted to replace the 100,000 - what's the big deal?” There will be a net loss of trees - 11.38 Hectares will be lost to the A38 expansion and only 6 hectares of replanting is planned by Highways England. It would take millions of trees over half a century to absorb the amount of CO2 that this road scheme will generate. A typical tree can absorb around 21 kilograms of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year, however this figure is only achieved when the tree is fully grown - saplings will absorb significantly less than this. (Source). We are in a climate emergency and have less than 10 years left to prevent irreversible damage from climate change - we don’t have time to wait for the trees to grow back!! We are in a biodiversity crisis the UK is one of the most nature depleted countries in the world and one in ten UK wildlife species face extinction. Saplings don’t provide the food and habitats to wildlife that established trees do. Losing these trees and habitats will cause more wildlife to die out. Where will all the insects, birds and mammals go during the 4 years of construction and while the saplings are growing? We don’t have time to wait for these saplings to grow and for nature to recover. “The health of ecosystems on which we and all other species depend is deteriorating more rapidly than ever. We are eroding the very foundations of our economies, livelihoods, food security, health and quality of life worldwide.” Highways England say they will replace thousands of established trees, some of which are centuries old, with twigs wrapped in plastic. These do not provide food and habitat to wildlife, shelter or screening from the road or absorb as much carbon as an older tree. Many saplings do not survive to maturity. The highways agency said it removed around 400,000 trees and shrubs when carrying out the A14 roadworks but a large proportion of the “mitigation” saplings have died off. https://www.a38derbychaos.org/key-facts-on-the-a38-expansion daily 0.75 2025-12-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2c8bb954405918ab86008d/20da1ef0-8ca2-43fd-be2b-961d092e0b91/A38-fly-through-square.jpg Key facts on the A38 Expansion National Highways visualisation with exaggerated amount of mature trees https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2c8bb954405918ab86008d/c78a3ff4-ff92-4ae3-b161-100a9f514700/A38+expansion+Derby+Impact+Maps+-+Kingsway.jpg Key facts on the A38 Expansion Before-and-after visualisation showing how the A38 Kingsway Junction expansion fells thousands of trees, removes some of Mackworth Park, damages Bramble Brook, destroys a Local Wildlife Site, and increases noise, light, and air pollution for nearby residents. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2c8bb954405918ab86008d/4f9be3b2-17fa-47a2-86fe-af6f766d6433/A38+Derby+junctions+expansion+plans+-+Markeaton.png Key facts on the A38 Expansion National Highways proposed A38 Derby Markeaton Junction Scheme Plan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2c8bb954405918ab86008d/31f941ec-33e1-4a3b-ae4b-5a28335d88ef/A38+expansion+Derby+Impact+Maps+-+Little+Eaton.jpg Key facts on the A38 Expansion Before-and-after visualisation showing woodland destruction, farmland loss, wetland disturbance, increased flooding risk, and greater pollution around the A38 Little Eaton Junction expansion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2c8bb954405918ab86008d/58885cc4-ce23-4a62-a692-bf68c3f993fa/A38+Derby+junctions+expansion+plans+-+Little+Eaton.png Key facts on the A38 Expansion National Highways proposed A38 Derby Little Eaton Junction Scheme Plan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2c8bb954405918ab86008d/50724989-e7a6-41bf-ae4a-4abce2437014/A38+expansion+Derby+Impact+Maps+-+Markeaton.jpg Key facts on the A38 Expansion Before-and-after visualisation showing the destruction of ancient trees, loss of parkland, widened A38, construction in Markeaton Park, and increased pollution affecting residents and the Royal School for the Deaf. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2c8bb954405918ab86008d/b2df38a3-6363-4a43-95c9-d3fc262a45f4/A38+Derby+junctions+expansion+plans+-+Kingsway.png Key facts on the A38 Expansion National Highways proposed A38 Derby Kingsway Junction Scheme Plan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2c8bb954405918ab86008d/d3877439-460d-4b67-8998-81b5dab0d987/2020-09-21_12h14_02.jpg Key facts on the A38 Expansion Tree felling plans by National Highways https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2c8bb954405918ab86008d/a25d2c6c-4cb6-4f83-9520-7b214ef98fab/A38+net+loss+of+woodland.png Key facts on the A38 Expansion Planning documents show 11.38 hectares of woodland will be lost to the A38 expansion with only 6.40 hectares replanted. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2c8bb954405918ab86008d/3ced90c0-37d6-49ce-a446-f13458cddbef/A38+expansion+carbon+emissions+nation+highways.png Key facts on the A38 Expansion The scheme will increase carbon emissions.
