Gloucestershire Local Transport Plan

HAVE YOUR SAY! You are being asked because your local knowledge is important. Sharpness is in the lowest percentile for connectivity and therefore the greatest dependency on cars. Our transport routes need to be safe, with safe walk ways and cycle ways. There is already a heavy burden on the funding of the transport system to maintain our roads. Hearing from local voices who have the knowledge and experience of the local place is so important to inform our representatives in making the right decisions. HAVE YOUR SAY NOW.

Have your say on Gloucestershire’s updated Local Transport Plan

Gloucestershire County Council is now updating the  Local Transport Plan. This will help shape the future of transport across the county over the next 15 years and beyond.

Earlier this year GCC asked people to share their experiences of travelling in and around Gloucestershire. They wanted to understand the challenges people face and their priorities for the future. The feedback they received helped identify key themes and develop an updated Draft Local Transport Plan.

GCC is now carrying out a formal public consultation and would like to hear your views. Your feedback will help refine the plan before it is finalised.
