The preferred strategy for strategic accessibility does not adequately support investment in public transport. The various road schemes supported by the draft Strategy are likely to have significant cumulative adverse impacts on air pollution and traffic generation. Improvements in the rail network and bus service in line with growth in the number of journeys is critical to mitigate against pollution and congestion impacts and to promote public health and accessibility between key settlements.
