First European Car-Free Day

Drivers across Europe are being asked to leave their cars at home today and support European Car-Free Day which has been launched by the European Union Environment Commissioner.

The EU says sixty-five million people across Europe will take part but a BBC correspondent in Brussels says the level of national commitment varies greatly.

She says while more than two-hundred Spanish towns are backing the initiative only five in Britian are doing likewise.

Many motoring organisations across Europe have said they won't be supporting the event,calling it a public relations gimmick.

But environmentalist have welcomed it as a means of raising awareness of environment issues in the wake of recent fuel protests in Europe.
