We want to hear your views on our draft transport strategy. This strategy will shape the way that people travel in Portsmouth over the next 16 years, and it is important that we hear from everyone, residents, businesses, commuters and visitors, so we can deliver an inclusive, active and sustainable travel network which will create a safer, healthier and more prosperous city.
The way people choose to get around in Portsmouth needs to change to meet the demands of today and the future. Our ambitious strategy and Local Walking and Cycling Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP) aim to create a greener, safer and healthier future for journeys in the city.
What is consulted on and why?
The Transport Strategy is fundamental to the growth of Portsmouth and sets out ways in which we will improve connectivity, promote cleaner air and reduce carbon emissions.
The survey provides more details about our vision for the draft transport plan over the next 16 years and includes four objectives and key considerations detailed within 20 policies. Through this plan we want to ensure greener travel is accessible to everyone, including residents, people who work in the city, visitors and businesses. You can read a summary of our objectives below.
We are also consulting on the Local Walking and Cycling Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP) which addresses the need to create a more sustainable network to support walking and cycling. The coronavirus pandemic has led to an increase in active travel and we need to develop a network which supports this.
