Your Opportunity to shape Tomorrow's World in Local Transport Plan

If a week is a long time in politics, what is 27 years? Will pensioners passes still be in use on our buses?; will we have 'new' trains by then, or at least trains that can carry mobility scooters?  Will the IW Council invest in Electric Cars; Or shall we all be zapping from A to B by Jet Packs?  If so, then don't look to the Local Transport Plan for answers. 
 
Rather than giving us an insight into the world of tomorrow, The IW Council are undertaking a consultation on its Transport Plan (which in essence, is a bidding document for Government Grants). The Plan has a number of objectives (or Transport Goals) These are:


Improve and maintain our highway assets.
Support Economic Growth.
Increase Accessibility.
Improve Quality Of Life.
Improve Road Safety and Health.
Respect the local environment.



The plan is available at all Libraries, County Hall or by viewing the following link: www.iwight.com/transport. The consultation lasts until 4th February 2011.
