Rural Transport and Engagement

Rural Transport

Here in Somerset, we’re in the early stages of writing a new Local Transport Plan. 

We recognise the importance of improving rural mobility and rural connections within Somerset, and this will be a vital consideration when drafting the plan. 

Have your say by responding to all or some of the questions below:

Engagement

Engagement refers to the involvement of others outside an organisation in the agenda setting, decision making, and/or policy forming activities of that organisation. 

In this case, it would be Somerset Council engaging with members of the public on their Local Transport Plan update.

Your comments will be used to inform the development of our Local Transport Plan, making sure Somerset’s streets are a welcoming place for everyone. 

Comments will also feed into research being undertaken by About Community Engagement (ACE), who are looking into how engagement on mobility in rural areas can be improved.
