Still time to shape transport in Leicestershire

Respond by 10 July

A consultation on a new strategy setting out how travel choices could be improved across Leicestershire is still open for views.

Leicestershire County Council’s Enabling Travel Choices Strategy is a long‑term plan looking at how people get to work, school, shops and essential services.

Residents, businesses and parish councils are encouraged to take part in the consultation to tell the county council how people travel, the barriers to travelling and what would make the biggest difference to local journeys.

Feedback will help to shape future plans and services which could include bus service improvements, better options for walking and cycling and identifying where better traffic management may ease pressures on the road network.

“We want to make it easier for people to get where they need to go and access services. That includes improving everyday journeys, tackling congestion, reducing pollution and making sure transport works for all our residents and different communities.

“There’s still time to have your say and we need to hear from all types of people - whether you’re in a town or rural village, your views and experiences matter.”
