Essex Transport Strategy

Published: 09 September 2024

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

ECC are now running a first consultation (part one public consultation) which covers the key themes and outcomes of the strategy, as well as a proposed Place and Movement Approach.

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

The quickest way to share your views is by completing our online survey. If you would prefer to respond to the consultation by email or post, a copy of the survey questions and/or consultation document can be requested by email at: SGH.routes@essex.gov.uk.

Printed copies are available from the county's mobile libraries and in the following libraries: Basildon Library, Braintree Library, Brentwood Library, Canvey Island Library, Chelmsford Library, Clacton Library, Colchester Library, Dunmow Library, Epping Library, Harlow Library, Maldon Library and Rayleigh Library.

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