Report by the Director of Communities, Economy and Transport

21.1     The Cabinet considered a report by the Director of Communities, Economy and Transport.

21.2     The Cabinet RESOLVED to approve the County Council’s draft proposed response to the Transport for the South East consultation on their draft Strategic Investment Plan as set out in paragraphs 2.11 – 2.28 of the report.

Reason

21.3     The transport and global policy interventions identified in the TfSE Strategic Investment Plan will deliver significant change in the county and support our key priorities specifically the levelling up of our communities who are most at need and importantly accelerate the delivery of the decarbonisation of transport. This will support greater strategic connectivity and resilience of our networks across the county and unlock opportunities for localised transport measures for public transport and active travel to support greater social inclusion, health, and wellbeing. As outlined in paragraph 2.13, the TfSE Strategy and SIP will also support policy development and the identification of strategic transport interventions as part of the current review of our Local Transport Plan, which will be undertaken during the next eighteen months.
