Reinvigorate Gloucestershire (4) Transport

by Christine Headley on 20 April, 2009

What will Gloucestershire LibDems do for the county’s transport needs?

* tackle the £130m backlog of roads maintenance backlog

A Liberal Democrat council will set out a clear plan for quality road repairs around the county.

* enough salt to keep our roads safe and open in winter

No more begging from other councils for salt to keep our roads open in winter. We will make sure we have a full supply of road salt for our needs.

* A fast rail service to London is important for the county economy

We will press the government to secure funding to deliver the dual tracking of the line between  Kemble and Swindon to speed up services to the capital.

* cycling keeps you fit, it’s great for the environment

The county needs a network of cycle hire facilities for local and visitor use – new dedicated cycle paths will be encouraged.
