Time is running out for people in Bath to have their say on a six-week consultation which is seeking views on the city’s transport system for the next decade.
The Guildhall in Bath
Residents and businesses across the area are being asked to have their say on the proposed Bath Transport Delivery Action Plan.
More than 400 people have already taken part in the consultation.
The aim of the plan is to identify a range of transport solutions which can be developed over time to create better connected, healthier and more sustainable communities to live and work in.
The plan focuses on three key areas:
- Delivering sustainable transport
- Improving connections
- Improving transport provision for people travelling into city in the short, medium and long-term.
In a joint statement, Councillor Joanna Wright and Councillor Neil Butters, joint cabinet members for Transport Services, said: “Thank you to everyone who has taken part in the consultation so far.
“Whether you live in the city or travel into Bath for work or leisure, the consultation is your opportunity to have your say and help shape transport in the city over the next decade.
“The plan is important if we are to tackle the climate and ecological emergency and reach our goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2030.
“It will inform the way road space is reallocated and the way we get around with greater emphasis on more sustainable and active travel modes.”
The council is currently working on a number of transport-related strategies and policies from active travel schemes to improving city centre security.
A dedicated webpage has been created on Bath & North East Somerset Council’s website to help residents find relevant information and have their say on future plans.
All responses on the Transport Delivery Action Plan must be received by Monday 1st March.
