Derbyshire County Council Jim Seymour Transportation Strategy Manager
Derbyshire Options • Balancing the transport goals: • 1. Emphasis on supporting economic growth, better safety, security and health, quality of life and healthy natural environment (based on results of Derbyshire Surveys in 2009) • 2. Emphasis on tackling climate change and supporting economic growth (described as the biggest challenge in DfT DaSTS) • 3. Tackling inequality (not a popular choice in consultations, but important to Derbyshire – rural accessibility and deprived urban areas)
Measures in Greater Nottingham Area? • Key areas of work likely to be around: • Helping settlements to ‘stand on their own feet’ • e.g. development of cycling network • Ensuring accessibility to higher-level services in Nottingham, Derby etc e.g. provision of Ilkeston rail station
