Council endorses Local Transport Plan

Wiltshire Council has today (Tuesday 11 March) endorsed the Wiltshire Local Transport Plan 4 (LTP4).

Every council in the country is required to develop a Local Transport Plan (LTP). LTP4 sets out Wiltshire Council's strategic transport objectives, using a place-based approach that aligns with the Wiltshire Local Plan.

It is designed to address the needs of three distinct areas: principal settlements, including Salisbury, Trowbridge, and Chippenham; market towns; and rural communities.

By tailoring the plan to these specific areas, the council can better respond to their unique transport challenges, recognising that the needs of rural residents differ from those in towns and cities. This approach also increases opportunities to secure additional government funding to enhance transport infrastructure across the county.

The council held a consultation on LTP4 from Thursday 28 November 2024 until Friday 24 January 2025 and received a total of 1,077 contributions.

Parvis Khansari, Corporate Director - Place, said: "LTP4 outlines the strategy for building a more efficient and effective transport network in Wiltshire up to 2038.

"Now that it has been approved by Full Council, we will work on our delivery plans to put LTP4 into action. We will have more information on how people can share their views on the delivery of LTP4 in the coming months."

More information about LTP4 is available online.
