The Council's Role In Transport

What we do

Transport is a cross cutting area of activity which involves many areas of work in this authority and in partnership with the County Council and voluntary sector.

The success of local work with the voluntary sector is dependent on co-working with community planning colleagues while in the built environment the co-operation of development control colleagues is also essential.

A common theme is the need for public and community transport to be subject to more rigorous market research before resources are devoted to it and monitoring to demonstrate effective use of those resources. In the voluntary sector this means an effective needs assessment. Such work, in itself, requires resource, which is in short supply.

We provide concessions to people who are either over 60 or disabled to assist with travel by public transport - click here for information on travel concessions.
