GUERNSEY Car Free Day was a success and the number of people participating in the initiative will increase, according to the organisers.
Staff from 20 businesses participated yesterday by walking, cycling or sharing a car to work.
Managing director of State Street Gerald Hough had helped organise the initiative with G-Can member Vanessa Crispini-Adams.
He said that they would work hard to keep the momentum going.
‘The hope is that the number of people will increase each month.
He said that nine of his 10 employees had got to work without a car.
‘We all have to drive every day but the idea is to use the car less – if you can cycle to work it’s a great thing to do,’ said Mr Hough.
‘Why not exercise your own lungs rather than exhaust the world’s?’

I expect that participation will increase if the organisers advertise it in advance – this is the first I’ve heard of it.

I wonder what percentage of the ‘success’ was down to the fact that it was half term week ?
Still ,I did my bit by taking my little car to Town,leaving the big one in the drive.
