Conservative party pledge to review, not to cancel. 1 million houses still planned.

Watch BBC South Today’s report on the Conservative announcement for a priority review of the Oxford to Cambridge Expressway.

It’s clear that its a priority review, NOT a pledge to cancel.

We are encouraged by the pledge to review, but we don’t want wriggle room! Look at HS2.

Grant Shapps confirms that all the Local Authorities say they can still deliver the 1 million new houses along the arc without the Expressway.

Keep fighting, sign our petition here!

Keep pushing your local candidates to pledge their support to NEG’s campaign to abandon both the expressway and wildly over inflated housing targets. See who’s pledged here!


We urgently need your help.

Your donations are needed now, to help us run the campaign and pay for political consultants and other professional experts to bring this campaign to the attention of Westminster as well as local politicians.

No Expressway Group believes there is no need for an Oxford-Cambridge Expressway, nor the over-inflated housing targets associated with it, and we will actively campaign against it and support other organisations with the same objectives. 

Our environment is a national asset which is critical for everyone’s health and well-being. We must not let it be destroyed.

Your donations help us to spread information about the Expressway, run and build support for the campaign:

  • £10 could pay for one roadside Correx poster

  • £15 could pay for one roadside poster on a wooden stake

  • £20 could pay for one A1 printed colour poster for our pagoda display

  • £35 could pay for 250 A5 printed leaflets for the campaign

  • £70 could pay for one pole and two panels for our travelling pagoda display

  • £150 could pay for one feather flag for our travelling pagoda

  • £180 could pay to run this website for one year

  • £300 could pay for a 3 minutes of an Expressway Story

  • £500 could pay for a 5 minutes of an Expressway Story

  • A greater or other amount could contribute to the cost of professional support for our campaign in general and in preparation for Planning Inspectorate hearings

Please note:

The No Expressway Group has a group bank account to which the Chair, Secretary and Treasurer are signatories. The group will publish accounts on noexpressway.org each year which will be audited by an accountant from outside the NEG group.

If any funds are left at the end of the campaign, these will be donated equally between RSPB and BBOWT.
