Theme 9 - Delivery

Please read the section starting on page 53 of the draft Local Transport Plan 5 (PDF, 1.8MB)

The draft Local Transport Plan 5 (LTP5) outlines our overall vision, objectives and policies for transport in Buckinghamshire. We have developed a high-level implementation plan to demonstrate how the policies will be delivered.

Further detail, such as the schemes required in our towns, will be developed through a number of supporting strategies and our implementation plan updated accordingly. We will also safeguard land where needed to facilitate future scheme delivery and conduct annual monitoring of LTP5. Our policies in this section set out the principles to guide delivery of LTP5. 

This section of the consultation asks for your views on:

  • supporting strategies (questions 1 and 2)
  • implementation plan (questions 3 to 7)
  • safeguarding and improvement lines (questions 8 to 10)
  • monitoring (questions 11 to 13)
