Under “…wider services such as schools and health and leisure facilities….” add emergency response systems to enable support for more vulnerable communities at higher risk to impact of climate change

General comment – in addition to transport networks being upgraded, consideration will need to be given to unlocking grid constraints in rural areas. Upgrading the network will be costly and this barrier directly impacts communities by hindering business development and restricting roll out of charging infrastructure. This presents itself as an opportunity for a phased infrastructure plan for localised renewable energy generation to support current needs and future growth.
