ANYONE wanting to submit their views on plans for transport improvement plans in Bradford and West Yorkshire has until the end of April 30 to do so.

West Yorkshire Combined Authority invites views from individuals and businesses on its Single Transport Plan for West Yorkshire - a 20-year vision for developing an effective, efficient and integrated transport network for the Leeds City Region.

Details of the plan are available online at westyorks-ca.gov.uk/stp-survey and copies are also available from travel centres at West Yorkshire’s Metro bus stations.

This initial engagement on the Single Transport Plan will be followed by a more formal round of consultation in summer 2015.

Councillor Peter Box , WYCA chairman, said: “The Combined Authority’s ambition is to underpin economic growth and housing development across the city region by investing £1 billion in projects to develop a quick, convenient and clean, integrated transport network.

“The Single Transport Plan also supports the delivery of the Leeds city region Strategic Economic Plan , so it is important that at each stage we take on board the views of individuals and organisations to ensure we are developing a Plan that matches their needs and expectations.”

Roger Marsh (pictured), Local Enterprise Partnership chairman, said: “An effective local transport network that connects people to jobs and goods to markets, seamlessly, and helps us maximise the opportunities of the government’s major investment in high-speed rail, is fundamental to our plan for extraordinary growth in Leeds city region.

“I would urge businesses in the region to respond to this consultation and have their say on the transport connectivity they need both now and in the future to support their continued success and growth.”
