Cheshire East Council has opened a consultation on proposals for the local transport network that will support a new Local Transport Plan for the borough.
The plan will set out how the borough will invest in future transport infrastructure to support local economic growth, reduce its environmental impact and boost connectivity, as well as supporting the overall wellbeing of residents.
Cllr Mark Goldsmith, chair of Cheshire East Council’s highways and transport committee, said:
“Transport and travel play a crucial role in our everyday lives. We need to plan a transport network that is fit for the future – one that connects to jobs, education, healthcare, and leisure facilities, while supporting a healthier and more sustainable environment.
“Our current plan was adopted in 2019 and since then, there has been considerable change in transport movements and how we all travel. Now is the right time to update our plan to ensure that the council maintains a policy framework that is robust and relevant to the needs of Cheshire East.
“We have developed a vision and a set of aims and priorities, but we really want to know what you think. Getting an early insight from residents now will help us refine our vision and create a transport strategy that reflects local needs and aspirations.“
Feedback on the draft consultation can be provided via the Local Transport Plan web page on the council’s website.
