Better Connected – LGA response
An LGA Spokesperson said: “Councils recognise the importance of integrated and better connected transport services for residents and to support local economies.
“They are already working hard to achieve this, working with their combined authorities where they exist and with private operators, as well as with new technology to bring about further connectivity benefits.
“It is helpful that the much anticipated refreshed Local Transport Plan Guidance has now been published and we hope that it will help more areas to achieve their vision for improved and better local transport provision.
“Sufficient and long-term funding certainty for local transport and highways services is vital to ensure that councils can provide resilient and modern infrastructure to support better connectivity and innovation.”
Notes to Editors:
The LGA also notes the importance of not compromising access for those who may be digitally excluded, or face other circumstance that limit their access or mobility, and will be reviewing the strategy accordingly.
