Essex Transport Strategy

Overview

Background

Transport is critical to all aspects of our everyday lives. From how we travel to and from work, do the school run or visit the local shops, to how businesses move goods and services around Essex and beyond, transport underpins it all.

For our transport network to adapt to the changing ways we live and travel, a new strategy is needed to guide our approach to transport in Essex over the coming years.

Essex Transport Strategy

The new Essex Transport Strategy, also known as our Local Transport Plan (LTP), will provide an overarching plan, outlining our vision for transport in Essex and what we need to do to be successful.

It will set important transport priorities to help inform our future decisions and actions and to unlock future funding opportunities.

More information is available in our consultation document.

Have your say

We ran a first consultation (part one public consultation) which covered the key themes and outcomes of the strategy, as well as a proposed Place and Movement Approach.

This was an important opportunity for you to provide initial feedback and to help inform the next stage of development of the plan.

Thank you to everyone who responded to the consultation and shared their views. We are now analysing this feedback and will use it to help develop the new strategy further.

A second public consultation will take place early next year on the full draft strategy.
