Significant gap within Transport chapter on vision for public transport - particularly development of bus, BRT and tram systems. Local Transport Plan will need to deliver a radical step change in the provision of public transport in order to support aspirations. A spatial policy on the provision of public transport systems, particularly operational facilities is required to ensure that provision of a suitable sustainable net zero public transport provision is provided. Strategy work on lobbying for local powers (e.g. bus franchising) and funding (including local fund raising e.g. Workplace Parking Levy) is urgently required.
