BOLD AMBITIONS FOR CONNECTIVITY AND ACCESSIBILITY

We will build on Chester’s strengths as a compact, connected centre surrounded by ’15 minute’ neighbourhoods.

We will enable effective regional and national travel, to and from other major cities, by enhancing Chester Railway Station.

We will embrace the need to transition to Net Zero by enhancing opportunities for sustainable travel, promoting active travel and placing Chester at the forefront of Net Zero carbon connectivity.

We will make Chester accessible, easy to travel around and welcoming – encouraging and promoting safe, reliable, affordable and sustainable travel options, and meeting the access needs of less mobile people.

We will make Chester a community of connected places, ensuring all communities and mobility needs are considered and planned for.

We will support behavioural change by helping all city users make informed travel choices. People will have access to clear, reliable and coherent information and wayfinding at the right time, through the right channel.

We have to broaden the idea of what we mean by transport; walking and cycling are part of that. We really should be trying to be as innovative as possible in trying to keep cars out of the city centre.
