"The County Council, as Local Transport Authority for North Yorkshire, has a statutory duty to have and maintain a Local Transport Plan. The current Local Transport Plan (LTP3) runs until 31 March 2016. It is therefore necessary for the County Council to renew the Plan which will set out the council’s plans and strategies for maintaining and improving all aspects of the local transport system for the next 30 years.

You may have previously been asked to comment on our proposed objectives and your transport needs, and the first phases of consultation with our Citizens Panel, the public and our statutory stakeholders has now ended. Responses show that the views of the stakeholders and of the public generally agree with our proposed ‘manage, maintain, improve’ hierarchy, whereby a higher priority is given to managing and and existing assets rather than providing new infrastructure. There was also general agreement on our five suggested objectives.

Following the initial consultation, we have now completed a draft version of the LTP4 document. We are interested to hear your views on this draft document through this phase of consultation. The document can be found on our website at

www.northyorks.gov.uk/ltp4, along with an online survey for entering your response.

Consultation opens on the 02 November and the closing date for responses is 30 November 2015. To allow us to understand who is responding, please enter the name of the organisation you represent in any response. "
