Boris Johnson

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has set out his £12 billion 10 point plan for a green recovery from Covid-19, including more offshore wind capacity, cleaner public transport and carbon capture and storage.

The prime minister has allocated £160 million to upgrade ports as he commits the government to increasing the UK’s offshore wind capacity to meet new green ‘ambitious targets’.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has launched a cycling and walking plan that seeks to tackle the causes of ill health and build on increased numbers of people cycling during the Covid-19 pandemic. 

Professionals across the built environment sector have broadly welcomed Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s plans to reform the planning system in a bid to help the country recover from Covid-19, but some have cautioned against further deregulation.
