Transport and Road Safety Survey Shotley Transport 100 event, 21 August 2005 |
|
At the event, the Parish Plan Steering Committee had a table, and asked local people to complete a simple questionnaire with the following questions. We are very grateful to those of you who did. Your responses are shown below and will be fed into the Parish Plan itself.
"We are gathering more information about transport and road safety. This will help us make recommendations in the Parish Plan about these issues. Please answer as many questions as you can."

Under 19? Do you have an Xcape Card. Has it made it easier for you to travel to places you need to get to? |
Everyone - Which places in Shotley are most dangerous for road users and pedestrians? How can we make them safer? |
Cyclists - Where do you cycle from and to? What can be done to make cycling safer in Shotley? |
Everyone - How can the public transport service be improved? |
If you have a disability are there specific improvements you would like to see that would make travelling safer or easier for you? |
