What do you think about traffic and transport in your local area, and across the city?
The Council is asking for views about local transport policy. Have your say by visiting their website and completing the questionnaire.
From their web page:
"We are asking for views to helps us to shape the next Local Transport Plan for the city which will start in April 2011.
We are currently developing a new Local Transport Plan (LTP) for the city which will enable the council to prioritise how it maintains and improves the transport network for everybody. We are looking 15 years ahead to ensure that by 2026 the city can keep moving and will remain a place that we can all enjoy.
What is a Local Transport Plan (LTP)?
The LTP is a document that sets out how transport can improve our safety and health, support out local economy, protect our environment and reduce carbon emissions and pollution. It is also how the city council secures funding for transport improvements from central government.
Developing the new LTP for Brighton & Hove
An LTP should consider all forms of transport and will include a long-term strategy and short-term delivery plan for specific schemes.
It also needs to help deliver the government's policies at a local level. These are:
* Supporting economic growth
* Tackling climate change
* Promoting equality of opportunity
* Contributing to better safety, security and health
* Improving quality of life
How do I get involved?
We would like you to complete the questionnaire below. It will give us your views on transport issues and priorities for Brighton & Hove. The survey closes on 10 December 2010.
Further information is contained in the document attached which is available to download. If you would prefer a paper copy of the questionnaire please email: travel.planning@brighton-hove.gov.uk or telephone (01273) 294390."
