A better connected Essex – Public consultation on Essex transport strategy
We are pleased to announce the launch of the second phase of consultation on the new strategy: ‘A Better Connected Essex’.
Live from today, the consultation will run until Wednesday 24 September.
To view the strategy and give your feedback please visit https://consultations.essex.gov.uk/essex-highways/better-connected-essex/
The second phase of consultation on the strategy, also known formally as a Local Transport Plan, will build on public feedback that saw support for the proposed key themes and outcomes.
We are seeking feedback on our newly published draft transport strategy, which includes:
- The full draft strategy
- 13 area-specific implementation plans
Your feedback is important and will help inform our future decisions and unlock future funding opportunities to support us in providing the transport network our county needs.
We also ask you to share the public consultation and project webpage link across your networks to help us promote the consultation and encourage as much feedback as possible from local residents.
Following this consultation and a review of feedback ‘A Better Connected Essex’ is expected to be formally adopted by Essex County Council later this year.
Thank you in advance for your support.
Kind regards,
The Essex County Council Transport Team
