Have your say on Somerset’s Local Transport Plan

We’re updating Somerset’s Local Transport Plan (LTP) and we want to hear from you.
The LTP is a key document that sets out how we plan and deliver transport across Somerset. It helps ensure that transport supports our wider goals – like improving health and wellbeing, protecting the environment, and supporting the local economy.
