Cambridgeshire County Council is launching a series of exhibitions throughout the county to enable cyclists and other residents to have their say on its forthcoming third Local Transport Plan, which it describes as “a blue-print, based on the priorities set by residents, on what transport schemes should come forward.”
Previous Local Transport Plans in Cambridgeshire have led to the introduction of features such as the Riverside cycle and pedestrian bridge, motorcycle safety signage and a contraflow bus lane in Huntingdon, and the council now wants to update its existing Transport Plan, using existing successful schemes as a platform.
Roy Pegram, Cambridgeshire County Council Cabinet Member for Growth, Infrastructure and Strategic Planning said: “The consultation is part of Cambridgeshire County Council’s commitment to listening to its communities and putting them at the heart of transport planning.
“The last transport plan has brought great improvements to Cambridgeshire and we want to build on that to bring even more, he continued. “But we need the help of communities to shape those plans and priorities, such as increasing cycling, walking, road safety and better more environmentally friendly transport choice. We need to have a comprehensive transport plan for Cambridgeshire so that we can implement transport improvements which people tell us are important.”
Councillor Pegram concluded: “I would encourage everyone to come along and talk to us at our exhibitions and tell us what they think. Don’t miss your chance to have your say by returning a questionnaire or visiting one of the exhibitions.”
