Still time to have your say on draft Stratford Transport Strategy

There's still chance to have your say on the draft Stratford-upon-Avon Area Transport Strategy.

The strategy has been prepared jointly by Warwickshire County Council and Stratford District Council. It proposes a range of approaches to ease congestion, reduce traffic in central areas, improve air quality, protect the historic core of the town and improve the opportunities for travel by public transport, by cycle and on foot.

The public consultation launched in February and runs until 23 March and can be viewed by visiting Ask Warwickshire: https://askwarks.wordpress.com/

Proposals in the strategy include: supporting the delivery of relief roads to the south and west of Stratford to link the A46 at Wildmoor with the B439 Evesham Road; a new relief road to the east of the town to route through traffic away from Clopton Bridge; revising town centre streets to reduce traffic and improve the environment for pedestrians; focusing long stay parking on out of centre areas and developing the provision of Park and Ride; improving facilities for walking and cycling; improving rail and road connections with key locations, such as supporting the proposals to upgrade the A46 between the M40 and M5 and improving connectivity between Stratford and the proposed HS2 interchange and wider UK Central area.
