A new local transport plan – we need your views

We're creating a new Local Transport Plan – and we want to make sure it works for everyone

How we get around affects all our lives. Whether it’s bus, train, car, walking, cycling, wheeling and so on. Transport helps us get to work, school, shops and services. It connects our communities, friends, families, customers, services and suppliers. But in too many places across the borough, it isn’t working as it should. It needs to change.

This plan sets out our long-term approach to transport across the borough. It’s about making transport fairer, greener, safer and more joined up.

We've already heard from over a thousand people about the biggest challenges and priorities for transport across the borough through our early engagement. This has shaped the first part of a new Local Transport Plan, which we’re calling a Core Strategy.

We want to know if you think we’ve got this right. Share your views to shape the future of local transport.

What feels right? What needs changing? What have we missed? This is a conversation, and your views really do shape what happens next.
