Today the North East transport partnership Nestrans began a 10-week consultation period on a range of proposals for travel over the coming years.

The strategy is grouped into six themes looking at:

Plans for travel in the city centre;
Increasing walking and cycling;
A focus on alternative energy;
Plans to address the challenges of rurality;
Improving connectivity through road and rail links.
