Better travel and transport in Stapleford

Stapleford town centre has a vital role to play in providing important goods and services. We would like to help it thrive by ensuring that all members of the community are able to access it. At the same time we want to manage congestion, reduce road accidents and improve air quality.

As part of our Local Transport Plan we’re looking at ways to give people more travel choice. In other words we’re looking at how we can help make walking, cycling and travel by bus safer, easier and quicker to help take the pressure off our roads.

Our transport study is about finding out what your transport issues are. It might be a need for more pedestrian crossings, better access for those with disabilities or more cycle parking.

How can we improve travel and transport in Stapleford?

We will be asking residents and visitors for their views to help improve travel and transport.

For example:

• Do the pavements and walking routes to the town/village centres need improving to encourage more people to walk?
• What would encourage you to leave your car at home and walk, cycle or use the bus instead?
• Is it easy to find bus timetables and travel information?
• Are our roads and pavements safe for older people and people with a disability?
• What can we do to improve the town/village centres to encourage residents to shop locally and support local businesses?

How can you shape the future of transport in Stapleford?

To make travel and transport better in Stapleford we need your views. Local people are best placed to tell us about the transport improvements their town/village needs. We would like to hear your views about how we can improve access to shops and services in the area.
