Maintaining and improving the transport infrastructure of the district has a key impact on the quality of life of local communities. This is because travel allows access to employment, services and facilities, and is essential to the future economic prosperity of the district.

Maintaining and improving the streets in our district also helps us to achieve our aim of 'a cleaner and greener district'.

In support of these objectives, the council has the following ambitions:

<>  Improve transport in rural areas

<>  Provide attractive and cleaner streets, neighbourhoods and open spaces

<>  Reduce the impact of traffic on the District by promoting and supporting improved public and community transport, cycling and walking, and seeking innovative transport services that better match people's actual needs

This area of the site makes the connections you need when travelling in and around the Braintree District, as well as providing up-to-date information on initiatives happening to improve the streets in our district.
