Mayor of the East Midlands, Claire Ward has launched her Big Transport Conversation -  and residents are being urged to get involved.

Led by Mayor Claire, the Mayor’s Transport Plan sets out a bold 15-year vision to transform the way people travel across the region.

Now a 12-week public conversation has been launched, giving residents the chance to help shape a transport system that truly works for them.

Mayor Claire said: “Every city, town and village in our region has its own transport challenges, and the best ideas come from the people who live and travel there. That’s why we’re bringing this conversation to local communities.”

The Mayor’s Transport Plan focuses on three major goals:

  • Making public transport easier to use and more affordable;
  • Providing better travel choices that reduce car dependency and connect every community;
  • Upgrading and maintaining highways to ensure they’re reliable and resilient as travel patterns and the climate change.

Mayor Claire said: “My vision for the East Midlands is simple: public transport that’s easy and affordable to use, communities connected to one another, not just to the biggest cities, and roads and infrastructure that are safe, well maintained, and fit for the future.”

The consultation runs until February 8th 2026.
