"We are delighted to share more details on the Plan and of our
consultation process. This
is a key milestone for our region and it means that we are on the cusp of
having a first-ever comprehensive transport strategy for the North East region,
covering seven local authority areas and our two combined authorities. This
Plan so far has been developed in partnership with our authorities and a range
of organisations. It covers all aspects of transport that affect our daily
lives, setting the policies that will allow us to deliver our vision and
objectives. "The Plan is supported through a 15-year pipeline of projects, estimated to cost £6.1bn
which represents a fair share of national transport funding for the region.
This amount will grow as further schemes are developed over
the lifetime of the Plan.
"To ensure that
the Plan will deliver profound and lasting improvements that will shape the
North East and its people for decades to come, it must reflect the identities
and interests of local communities across the entire region and beyond. As such
we have launched an eight-week consultation to hear from as many people as
possible, who live, work and learn in our region. The consultation will run
until 14 January 2021."
