There was a fantastic turnout online on Monday, 18 May, as members and supporters joined Richard Holden MP for our Transport: Growth & Delivery mid-consultation discussion.
We have already seen a strong number of responses to the Transport consultation, with ideas and practical experience being shared from across the country.
The discussion explored a range of themes and ideas on:
- Tackling driving test backlogs and examiner shortages
- Smarter road maintenance and the use of technology and AI
- Flexible local transport systems and connectivity
- Freight and logistics improvements
- Aviation workforce shortages and future skills needs
Strong themes and perspectives also emerged during the discussion, including:
"Rail discussions always seem to be about passengers with freight as an afterthought. There needs to be a more integrated discussion in rail policy." - This point was made by a CPF participant.
"Without physical mobility, you cannot have social mobility.!" - This point was made by another CPF participant in our online audience.
CPF brings members and supporters together to share ideas and expertise that help inform better policy thinking because 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲
