Salisbury council in Wiltshire is updating its transport strategy reflecting new policies around walking and cycling and different travel patterns since Covid.

The council says the refreshed strategy will set out an up-to-date, evidence-based plan for Salisbury’s transport network, looking at issues such as congestion, road safety, public transport, carbon emissions, and how people move around the city.

It also explores potential improvements including better walking and cycling links, upgrades to key junctions and corridors, Park & Ride enhancements, improvements to bus reliability and priority, and measures to make streets safer and more accessible for everyone.

To help people understand the strategy and the emerging proposals, a drop-in event will take place at Salisbury’s City Hall on Tuesday 21 April, from 12pm to 8pm. The event is open to anyone who lives, works in or visits Salisbury and offers the opportunity to view plans, ask questions and speak directly with members of the project team.

Cllr Martin Smith, Cabinet Member for Highways, said: “Updating the Salisbury Transport Strategy is an important step to make sure the city’s transport network works for everyone. This drop-in event is a chance for people to find out more about the proposals and talk to us about the challenges and opportunities they see in Salisbury’s transport system.”

A public consultation will also be held on the Salisbury Transport Strategy will begin in late May.
