A few notes before I start this post, and hope it doesn’t turn into a rant.
- I’m really sorry that I’m turning into a transport geek/bore.
- I think the LTPs are a good thing.
- I know one of our council transport people a little and she’s brilliant, hard working, and very good at what she does.
- Swindon actually seems to be doing pretty well against it’s LTP2 targets. This is worthy of praise.
- I KNOW this is a complex issue and I’ll never understand it fully. What I’d like to see though, it some real, forward thinking leadership from the people in charge.
- I’ve not read ALL the information about LTP2 and LTP3, so I may have missed some vital stuff, for which I partly apologise, and for which I partly blame the inadequate management summaries!
I make no apologies for this post being long. It exists for two reasons:
- To make me read and understand some of the LTP documents and record my thoughts.
- To record my thoughts on the LTP3 consultation.
OK, here we go then.
