A Better Connected Essex – Public consultation on Essex transport strategy

A Better Connected Essex – Public consultation on Essex transport strategy

We are writing to inform you of our ongoing public consultation on the second phase of our Essex Transport Strategy: ‘A Better Connected Essex’.

The consultation is now open and will run until Wednesday 24 September.

To view the strategy and give your feedback please visit https://consultations.essex.gov.uk/essex-highways/better-connected-essex/

The second phase of consultation on the strategy, also known formally as a Local Transport Plan, will build on public feedback that saw support for the proposed key themes and outcomes.

We are seeking feedback on our newly published draft transport strategy, which includes:
• The full draft strategy
• 13 area-specific implementation plans

Your feedback is important and will help inform our future decisions and unlock future funding opportunities to support us in providing the transport network our county needs.

We also ask you to share the public consultation and project webpage link across your networks to help us promote the consultation and encourage as much feedback as possible from local residents.

Attached to this email you will find a communications toolkit including a press release, newsletter copy, social media copy, imagery and videos to help you do this.

Following this consultation and a review of feedback ‘A Better Connected Essex’ is expected to be formally adopted by Essex County Council later this year.

If you have any questions about the consultation, or its promotion, you can contact us at engagementhub@essexhighways.org
