Note from the county council
This is to let you know that the public consultation on the draft Rail Strategy starts today and runs until the 4th August. It can be found, together with the questionnaire online at http://www.hertsdirect.org/railconsultation.
This consultation provides an opportunity for the public, rail users and other stakeholders to comment on the strategic priorities that have been proposed in the Strategy.
Rail is an integral part of Hertfordshire’s transport network and is fundamental to supporting the Hertfordshire economy and aspirations for the future. A new rail strategy is required to maximise the county council’s ability to influence future investment in and development of the rail network. The Strategy 2015 aims to ensure that the railway in Hertfordshire can support sustainable economic development by identifying investment priorities for the next 15 to 20 years and beyond, which the county council will work to secure.
If endorsed and adopted, the Hertfordshire Rail Strategy 2015 will become part of our Local Transport Plan.
