Transport East is one of seven sub-national transport bodies in England, working to deliver a collective vision for the future of transport in Essex, Norfolk, Suffolk, Southend-on-Sea and Thurrock.  As a partnership, they bring together the local transport and planning authorities, and business leaders with Network Rail and National Highways.  This enables the region to speak with one voice on the transport investment needed to drive transformational growth and improve the quality of life for all that live and work in the region.  More information about us and our rural workstream can be found on our website.

Transport EAST are launching their first Rural Mobility Survey.  This survey will reveal a wider picture of the connectivity challenges and opportunities in the region as well as understanding the baseline for transport in rural areas. 

All Town and Parish Councils in Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk will be in receipt of the survey link.  The survey will run for a period of six weeks until 16th December.  Please click on this link to complete the survey.  If you require a paper copy or have any queries or difficulties with the survey, please contact transporteast@suffolk.gov.uk 

In terms of responding, we would like just one response from each Parish, if you or another member of your Parish Council could respond on behalf of your community this would be much appreciated.
