Whether we walk, cycle, drive, use public transport or buy goods brought in by lorry, transport matters to all of us – and now is your chance to have your say on the new ten-year strategy for transport in Tyne and Wear. Responses need to be returned by 10 December 2010.
The Local Transport Plan covers a wide range of objectives, including reducing road accidents, pollution and congestion, maintaining and improving local transport infrastructure, helping people and goods move around Tyne and Wear quickly and easily, and encouraging healthy modes of travel such as walking and cycling.
This helps deliver three key local aims:
- economic development and regeneration
- climate change
- safer and sustainable communities
How do I find out more information and send in my views?
A summary consultation document and other information on the next Local Transport Plan for Tyne and Wear (LTP3) is available online at http://www.tyneandwearltp.gov.uk/. A questionnaire is also available for completion on this website.
Questionnaires can be printed off from the website and posted to the LTP team at: FREEPOST NT 623, Strategic Housing Planning and Transportation, Environment and Regeneration, Newcastle City Council, Civic Centre, Barras Bridge, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 8PD. No stamp required.
Or you can pick up hard copies of the questionnaire, together with hard copies of the summary document, from your local authority offices and local libraries. Again simply fill in the questionnaire and post back to the Tyne and Wear Local Transport Plan Team at: FREEPOST NT 623, Strategic Housing Planning and Transportation, Environment and Regeneration, Newcastle City Council, Civic Centre, Barras Bridge, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 8PD. No stamp required.
Or contact us via Facebook page: Tyne and Wear LTP, or finally via Twitter @Tyne_Wear_LTP.
Thank you in advance for your views. They are invaluable as we look to prioritise the transport budget in the coming months and years.
