Community consultation and engagement within transport schemes
Active Travel England’s new consultation guidance will help councils gather the views of residents and businesses – ensuring new active travel infrastructure works for everyone.
The guidance explains how authorities can include community engagement in the project development process for transport schemes involving active travel.
Community engagement and consultation can help to improve the way that changes to a road layout, town or city centre are introduced. It enables people to have their say and make sure transport projects support local people and businesses.
This guide aims to help people involved in the delivery of major transport teams to:
- include community engagement within transport projects, specifically with a focus on active travel
- set out best practice and case studies for both engagement and consultation
- follow a step-by-step process to include communities in their projects.
