Transport: South Cotswolds
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department plans to take steps to help Wiltshire and Gloucestershire Council reduce transport poverty in South Cotswolds constituency.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
This Government is committed to improving transport provision across the country. We recognise the challenges people face in accessing transport, particularly in rural areas like the South Cotswolds. This is why we are working at pace to deliver our five key strategic transport priorities, which include the transforming of infrastructure to tackle regional inequality and the delivery of better integrated transport networks. DfT officials will continue to meet regularly with the councils in Wiltshire and Gloucestershire to discuss their aspirations for transport provision and provide support to address their concerns.
