'Accessibility' can mean a number of different things to different people.  It can mean how people get about, how easy it is for them to get to places which provide services, the different ways that services can be provided and how easy it is for those services to be used by different people.

The Community Priorities for this Theme have been assessed through research and consultation to help address these issues for the District.

The Community Priorities are:

• To work with Highway Authorities to ensure that key road and transport infrastructure and public transport improvements will have been made and that improvements will have been made to existing congestion hot-spot areas
• Encourage transport providers to provide services which better meet local transport needs
• Improve access to services and information in rural areas
• Support the retention of village services and facilities
• People who come to live and work in the District will be able to easily find out about the District and the services that are provided here

We are working towards achieving these priorities in a variety of ways and will monitor progress using national and local indicators and regular progress reports to the LSP’s Steering Group.
