Local Transport Plan 3 - have your say

Want the footpath between Sharpenhoe and Barton-le-Clay finishing? Want the car parking provision improved near your shops? Write in now before 11 February to have your say.

Central Bedfordshire Council is asking residents for their views on a draft Local Transport Plan 3 (LTP3), mapping provision over the next 15 years, which is available online.

The plan outlines a long term framework for investment in roads, railways, buses and car parking as well as looking at accommodating cyclists and pedestrians across the whole of Central Bedfordshire. The council is also working with surrounding authorities such as Luton, Bedford, Hertfordshire and Milton Keynes, to ensure that all journeys across the borders are looked at within the plan.

Central Beds Council is now asking for further comments about the draft document which will be presented to Executive on February 15 before being formally adopted in April.

LTP3 also contains a shorter term implementation plan which will be updated on an annual basis, as well as a programme of schemes to be delivered over a three year period.

The draft LTP3 is available to view online at www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/transport-and-streets/policy/LTP/what-it-says.aspx and in hard copies at Central Bedfordshire Council's customer service centres and all libraries including the mobile library. The deadline for comments is Friday 11 February.
