Sustainable Travel

I popped along to the stall in the High Street today as part of Sustainable Transport week. I thought the short walk leaflets that had been produced were excellent.

Following the £4.5 million Sutton has received from Transport for London (TfL), I hope there is wide consultation by the Council and TfL on how we use the money.

One of the crucial things to do is make travelling on bus feel safer in evening through actions and publicity. We have significant spare capacity on evening bus services and we should be thinking of may to maximise usage.

At the same time I think there are a number of bus routes such as the 470 and the S3 where improving the frequency and the time they operate in the evening would make "quick wins" for improving local public transport.
