Residents are invited to share their views on how they travel to help inform Suffolk’s Local Transport Plan.

The plan sets out a long-term vision for transport in Suffolk and covers key themes such as decarbonisation of transport, strengthening the local economy, promoting health, wellbeing and social inclusion, and creating better-connected places that encourage a range of transport choices.

Suffolk County Council is asking for feedback on the key themes proposed for the fourth version of the plan, which will cover the period until 2040 and respond to long-term transport opportunities and challenges facing Suffolk and the UK as a whole.

A link to the survey can be found at https://www.suffolk.gov.uk/ltp4. The consultation will run for eight weeks until 8 April 2024.

Feedback from the consultation will be collated and inform the production of the draft local transport plan. The full draft document will then be subject to further consultation later in the year.

Cllr Richard Smith MVO, Suffolk County Council Cabinet Member for Economic Development, Skills, Transport Strategy and Waste, said:

“A lot has changed since we wrote our last Local Transport Plan. Many people’s travel habits have changed permanently since the pandemic and so it is important that we hear from residents to take this into account.

“This consultation has been designed to seek your feedback at an early stage and to help us to develop a transport plan that reflects the needs and aspirations of as much of the local community as possible”
