Residents in Arnold are being asked to share their ideas for better, fairer, and more connected transport across the area.
Mayor of the East Midlands, Claire Ward has launched her Big Transport Conversation that sets out a bold 15-year vision to transform the way people travel across the region.
Now a 12-week public conversation has been launched, giving residents the chance to help shape a transport system that truly works for them.
And representatives from the East Midlands Combined County Authority will be at Arnold Library on Friday, December 19, from 9am-noon, to hear your views.
Mayor Claire said: “Every city, town and village in our region has its own transport challenges, and the best ideas come from the people who live and travel there. That’s why we’re bringing this conversation to local communities. So come along to the event in Arnold Library and tell my team what would make travel simpler, fairer, and genuinely better for you.”
The Mayor’s Transport Plan aims to make public transport easier to use and more affordable and also connect communities in a bid to reduce car dependency. She also wants to look at upgrading and maintaining highways to ensure they’re reliable and resilient.
Mayor Claire said: “My vision for the East Midlands is simple: public transport that’s easy and affordable to use, communities connected to one another, not just to the biggest cities, and roads and infrastructure that are safe, well maintained, and fit for the future.”
