LTP4 sets out the council's objectives and plans for transport in Wiltshire during the period 2025-2038. It covers all areas of transport, including road safety, highway network management and enhancement, car parking, buses, rail, walking and wheeling, freight, electric vehicles and more. It also provides the framework for all other organisations with involvement in transport in the county.
As Wiltshire is a large rural county, the transport needs vary, because what is required in a large town or city is different what is needed in rural areas. To ensure the plan is effective for all residents of Wiltshire, the plan is place-led and aligned to the Wiltshire Local Plan, with a focus on three different place types: principal settlements, which covers Salisbury, Trowbridge and Chippenham; market towns; and rural areas.
Public Consultation opens on 28th November
The consultation on LPT4 will [now] begin on Thursday 28 November and run until Friday 24 January 2025. People will be able to find out more and ask questions at webinars that will be held on:
Tuesday 3 December at 6pm
Monday 13 January at 6pm
I note that the Wiltshire Council graphics include a pedestrian, a bicycle, a car, a bus and a lorry - but does not include a train. Is there any reflection there of the relative importance of these modes as seen by the people who have put LTP4 out to consultation?
