Introduction

This is the second Local Transport Plan (LTP) for Kent. It sets out the transport vision for the County for 2025 as developed with partners and the community during the last eighteen months and, in the shorter term, the Plan sets out a strategy to take the County towards this vision. This LTP also explains how Kent County Council (KCC) intends to invest the money the Government has indicated will be available for the period from 2006 to 2011 and how extra resources from KCC and its partners will be added to this to maximise the value of the overall investment. It is available in every public library and on the Internet at http://www.kent.gov.uk/static/local-transport-plan/ Copies can be requested and the additional information referred to in the text can be obtained by writing to :-
