New vision for local transport

New vision for local transport

This week the PM has announced there will be £5 billion of funding for bus and cycle links outside London. The aim is to increase the frequency and availability of buses (people may be able to turn up and go, rather than stick to a timetable), as well as ensuring the transport system is greener and more convenient.

Dozens of new ‘Mini-Holland’ schemes will be taken forward to transform town centres across the country to make them safer to get around. These pilots of low-traffic neighbourhoods will make side streets safer to walk, cycle and play in.
