The latest Local Transport Plan for East Sussex (LTP4: 2024-2050) is currently out for consultation, with a closing date of 25 February 2024. The local plan is important as it drives policies and spending priorities.
Come and join us in this open meeting to discuss LTP4 and help shape a response from our network, or plan your own response.
The meeting will take the form of parallel workshops and short presentations. We have invited transport experts, providers and activists, as well as councillors and community stakeholders from East Sussex to participate. The recent Sustainable Transport & Active Travel summit demonstrated how much expertise we have in our community. We also saw the willingness to share that expertise and collaborate in order to make progress. Let’s not waste this opportunity!
To let us know you are coming, complete the registration form here. Note that you don’t need to be an expert to join in – your views are important.
