It is the final week to have your say on Kent County Councils new Local Transport Plan for Kent.
Whether you drive, catch a bus, take the train, cycle, wheel or walk, the new plan has proposals that will affect you and aim to improve the journeys you make every day.
The new Local Transport Plan (LTP) ‘Striking the Balance’, will replace our fourth plan ‘Delivering Growth without Gridlock(External link)’. It sets out a clear plan for transport in Kent which is ambitious but achievable in its aims to improve all types of journeys.
In 2023, views from residents and businesses were gathered in a public consultation on the Emerging Local Transport Plan. The full draft plan takes these views into consideration to strengthen the case for improvements to the transport modes that people in Kent rely on most. You can find out more about how feedback from the consultation has helped to shape the full draft plan in our You Said, We Did document.
The draft plan sets out proposals for improving roads and public transport in Kent, which will help KCC to focus future efforts and invest funding we can get from the government. It is designed to strike a balance between the investment needed to improve the county’s economy, to make living and working better, whilst also preparing Kent’s transport networks to meet the environmental challenges facing the county.
The consultation closes on 8th October 2024 and can be found here.
