Result

Thanks to everyone who gave us their views! More than 1,300 of you took part, including residents, businesses, and organisations. The results have been independently analysed, and we have summarised some of the main points from the consultation: 
Improving public transport was your top priority, with over 90% of you saying it was important.
  • Other high priorities included:
    • Increasing road safety for everyone
    • better accessibility for disabled people
    •  better air quality
    • reduced traffic congestion
  • There was strong and clear support for the Movement Strategy, with almost 80% agreeing with the vision of creating a more inclusive, green, healthy, and thriving Newcastle.
  • Many of you want a bolder, more ambitious, and more urgent approach. Many felt that active transport should be proactively enabled, rather than just encouraged or promoted, through the development of networks and transport systems that would increase changes in behaviour.
  • There were also some concerns that car users are not offered the same levels of ‘inclusivity’ as others. Comments focused on the practical needs of car users, which some thought can often be overlooked.
  • Walking is the most frequent form of travel, with 84% of people walking at least once a week. This compares to 63% of respondents who said they use a car, van, or motorbike once a week, 47% using the bus, and 34% cycling once a week.
