Transport Strategy

Southend-on-Sea Borough Council wants residents’ views on future transport. We want to understand your transport priorities, concerns, and ambitions for the future. We will use this to help us write an interim transport strategy. This strategy is not about how things are done. It will be completed in autumn 2020. We will also use your feedback to help write a new Local Transport Plan and Local Plan by 2022. The Council must produce these plans by law. The current Local Transport Plan and Local Plan can be found in Important Links.

This consultation gathers the views of residents on some of the main parts of the strategy. You can click on any of the surveys and give us your views. The surveys cover:

• Ways of getting around: The different ways we travel in Southend (e.g. car, public transport, or cycling), and how this might change in the future.
• Climate change: The way we travel in Southend needs to help the Council achieve its net zero by 2030.
• Local economy: How we get to work and how people visit Southend.
• Local area: The future needs of local people and the area.
• Impact of COVID-19: How our transport habits have changed this year.

This survey will close on the 28th October 2020.
