Wednesday, 19 April 2023 16:06

Locals are being asked to have their say about transport in Stamford.

Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) will be setting out its plans for transport in and around Stamford over the next few days and is keen to hear from local residents. It has organised some drop-in events in the town and there is an online survey for people to air their views.

A new strategy for transport in Stamford is underway, aiming to shape the future of travel within and around the town for the next twenty years. Lincolnshire County Council unveiled its online transport survey earlier this week, which will allow local residents to air their views and share their expectations for the future.

In addition, local drop-in sessions where people can meet the project team and talk in-person are scheduled to take place at the following locations in Stamford on the following dates/times:

• Friday 21 April, 830am to 12pm

- Marquee outside of Superdrug and Nationwide (High St, Stamford PE9 2AY)

• Saturday 22 April, 10am to 3pm

- Marquee outside of Superdrug and Nationwide (High St, Stamford PE9 2AY)

• Tuesday 25 April, 10am to 6pm

- Stamford Town Hall (St Mary's Hill, Stamford PE9 2DR)

Cllr Richard Davies, executive member for highways at LCC, said:

"By taking ten minutes to complete the survey, you can help give us a better understanding of your experiences, views, ideas and expectations on travel and transport.

"We'll then use all the information we gather to help feed into a new transport strategy for Stamford that will include a number of proposals for improving accessibility and transport now and in the future.

"When finished next summer, this document will shape the future of travel and transport in and around Stamford over the next twenty years – so get involved and have your say."

The survey can be completed by visiting www.letstalk.lincolnshire.gov.uk.
