🚍 HAVE YOUR SAY ON TRANSPORT IN ILKESTON
The Mayor’s Transport Team are coming to Ilkeston Library on Thursday 18 December from 9:30am to 12:30pm, and this is your chance to tell them exactly what needs improving in our area.
A new Transport Plan is being created for the whole East Midlands. It will shape decisions for the next 15 years on things like:
• Bus routes and reliability
• Trains and connections to nearby towns
• Roads and potholes
• Walking and cycling routes
• Accessibility for people who do not drive
• How well towns link to jobs, schools, hospitals and shops
For years people in Ilkeston have said the same things:
Buses not turning up. Long waits. Poor Sunday and evening services. Roads worn out. No safe cycling routes. Hard to get to work, college or the hospital without a car.
This session is your chance to finally put all of that on the record.
What you can do at the event
• Speak directly with the Transport Team
• Tell them what is not working in Ilkeston
• Say which routes need fixing
• Highlight road safety issues or access problems
• Pick up paper copies of the Transport Plan
• Fill in the consultation form there and then
Nothing is decided yet. The Transport Plan is still in the draft stage, which means your feedback will influence what happens next.
If you want better buses, safer roads, improved connections or more reliable transport for Ilkeston, please pop in and have your say.
📍 Ilkeston Library
📅 Thursday 18 December
⏰ 9:30am to 12:30pm
Your voice matters. If we want improvements, we need to speak up. Copied from Ilkeston News
