Local Transport Strategy
The 2007/08 Local Transport Strategy (LTS) helps to provide some direction the future of transport in the Scottish Borders and will hopefully help to make it a more connected place.
Huge strides have been achieved since the last transport strategy document was produced in 2001, with the progress in reintroducing the Waverley Line to the central Borders key to transport policy for the area. We have also recently introduced more frequent bus services to Edinburgh and also an element of transport ‘on demand’ in some of our more rural areas.
Road transport will continue to play an important role in our area and we must continue to improve and adequately maintain our roads so that local people and visitors can travel easily and more safely on their chosen routes. We are also currently discussing possible improvements to trunk roads through the Borders which are managed by the Scottish Government.
The new strategy document should be valid for approximately three years. If you would like a hard copy of the document, please e-mail us, or telephone 01835 825138. The strategy is free to individuals but there is a charge to commercial organisations.
