STEPS
It will not be possible to complete all our actions overnight. Our strategy is a long-term plan for the next 10 years and beyond and will include four stages listed below
MAKING WATFORD A GREENER PLACE
The healthier, greener schemes we are looking to implement will impact how easy it is to drive a private car around Watford.
By providing practical alternatives to driving, the car will become the less attractive option for travel and, in time, the last resort for getting around our town.
MAKING WATFORD A GREENER PLACE
• Stage 1 – putting in place the schemes and rewards to make it easier to use sustainable options
• Stage 2 – building new infrastructure to encourage people to walk and cycle and improving public transport
• Stage 3 – re-prioritising space away from private cars across the borough
• Stage 4 – delivering the new, large, sustainable transport infrastructure schemes to make Watford
MAKING WATFORD A GREENER PLACE
We will continue to seek funding so that we can invest in sustainable travel. We expect contributions from developers in the borough as they build new projects.
We will be reliant on help from the Government to pay for some of our bigger schemes. Having this strategy and monitoring our progress puts us in a strong position to bid for funding.
