In September 2023, our executive board took the decision to stop further development of the Making Connections proposals.

In 2021 we asked for your feedback on several things.

• A transformed bus network with more frequent services and cheaper fares over a larger operating area with new access to employment sites and rural communities
• Better cycling and walking routes and improved public spaces
• Funding transport improvements through a pollution-based charge for road use based on vehicle emissions or a flexible charge for road use which would charge all private vehicles to drive within an area at specific times
• Changes including higher charges for existing car parking, applying on-street parking charges to more streets, and introducing a workplace parking levy (a yearly fee charged to businesses per parking space)
