Transport Plan 2011-2026

Information on the third Local Transport Plan for Northumberland.

Northumberland Local Transport Plan 2011-2026

 

The Council's third Local Transport Plan (LTP) covers the period from April 2011 to 2026. It explains the 15-year Transport Strategy for the County, the problems that we face and what we propose to do about them. A 4-year Implementation Plan shows what we propose to deliver over the short-term in partnership with other organisations and agencies.

 

This LTP builds on the success of the second LTP, with a new focus on delivering the national goals for transport, which contribute to the aims of the Northumberland Sustainable Community Strategy and reflect local land use plans, economic development and climate change priorities.

 

The LTP is available to download below. It has been adopted as an interim strategy which will be refreshed following the adoption of the new Sustainable Community Strategy and Local Development Framework.
