Draft Kirklees Transport Strategy, Policy Themes and Consultation Plan

From: Cabinet - Tuesday 11th February 2025 1.30 pm - February 11, 2025

The Council’s Transport Strategy & Policy team have been working with our partners and key stakeholders to develop the Kirklees Draft Transport Strategy.  The draft strategy is presented to Cabinet for consideration and endorsement with a request to commence public consultation. A better approach to transport in Kirklees will help to deliver against core Council priorities: good transport is a core factor in the support of investment and regeneration, it helps places to thrive and allows communities to become more connected. A stronger focus on more sustainable forms of transport, which supports mode shift, will help to deliver a greener, healthier Kirklees and work in tandem with our Net Zero ambitions. The adoption of a distinct Transport Strategy will direct this approach and allow the Council to work to better transport for Kirklees and its communities.     We are now preparing to present the draft strategy for consultation with the public and relevant external stakeholders. We hope to gain approval to do so at Cabinet on 11.02.2025.
