Somerset Council has published a new Local Transport Plan for the county which aims to create a fairer, greener and better-connected transport network.
The Local Transport Plan (LTP) is a key document that sets out how the Council will plan and prioritise transport provision across Somerset for the next 20 years.
It aims to ensure that transport supports wider goals—like improving health and wellbeing, protecting the environment, and supporting the local economy.
Key objectives set out in the plan include promoting walking, cycling, and public transport, and ensuring new developments prioritise sustainable transport.
The Council wants to hear your views on the LTP and people can have their say by clicking on the link below
You can read the document and share your thoughts as part of the consultation process which runs until 7 SeptemberSurvey
