Based at the University of Bath, JTEP describes itself as "the prime source of extensive, high quality research devoted to the economics of transport and its interface with transport policy".

Every article published in the journal between these dates can be downloaded as a PDF free of charge, making the site a really valuable resource.

Olivebay - Contemporary Garden Design

http://www.olivebay.co.uk/




Creating "gardens to revive your senses", Olivebay is based in North London and run by Chris Maton, whose career in design and construction spans twenty years and includes presenting his own garden show on UK Style and guest appearances on GMTV and This Morning. The firm's site is attractively designed and highly evocative, the extensive use of lovely photographs successfully communicating the ideas of 'relaxation', 'scent', 'nature' and 'colour' that are flagged up on the home page. Accessed via a very clear menu system, sections include background about Olivebay and its services, a nicely illustrated portfolio showcasing its work, a list of FAQs and a page of related links. Awarded a Sapling Commendation. [GAS, 23 Mar 2009].
