Decision details

To approve of the finalised Transport Strategy that has been developed by Transport for the South East ahead of its proposed formal adoption by their Partnership Board in October 2024 and submission to the Department for Transport

19.1     The Cabinet considered a report by the Director of Communities, Transport and Environment.

19.2     It was RESOLVED to:

1) note the updated refreshed TfSE Transport Strategy 2025; and

2) note the continued support from East Sussex County Council towards the refreshed strategy as a constituent authority of TfSE’s geography.

Reason

19.3     The delivery of the TfSE’s refreshed Transport Strategy provides an opportunity to support and grow the economy, boost connectivity and speed up journeys whilst improving access to opportunities for all and protecting and enhancing our region’s unique environment. Whilst it is now finalised, it will also need to continue to be cognisant of the fast-moving picture arising from the devolution and local government reorganisation proposals for East Sussex, and the new Sussex Mayoral Combined County Authority as well as other parts of its geography.
