Read our responses to your feedback:
We asked
From 25 July to 17 October 2024 we consulted on our draft Local Transport Plan (LTP), which sets out our long-term strategy for maintaining and improving all aspects of local transport up to 2045.
The consultation invited comments on the draft vision and objectives, 16 policy areas and list of schemes contained in the draft LTP. The consultation also invited comments on the accompanying Integrated Impact Assessment and Carbon Assessment.
You said
We received 476 responses to the consultation, the majority (370 responses) were from residents of West Northamptonshire the rest were from developers, local transport providers, parish and town councils and other organisations and interest groups.
- 74% of respondents said that they agreed or strongly agreed with the vision, and 85% of respondents supported the six objectives.
- 80% of respondents agreed with policies 1 to 5 under the Connecting People Better Theme,
- 80% of respondents agreed with policies 6 to 11 under the Shaping Healthier Places theme.
- Over 80% of respondents agreed with policies 12 to 16 under the Mobility Enabling Prosperity theme.
We encouraged people to provide further feedback on the policy wording and key interventions as well as provide any other feedback on areas they felt needed strengthening or altering in the document.
We did
All responses have been considered and some have led to amendments in the Local Transport Plan relating to polices, interventions and the Integrated Impact Assessment.
Minor adjustments have been made to create a more concise, clear and engaging document.
A table of the changes that have been made will be available in a consultation report which will be published alongside the LTP. The LTP will be taken for approval at Cabinet and Council in March 2025.
