Newport Parish Council is to host a forum for residents and stakeholders on travel issues affecting the county town.
The ‘Newport Travel Forum’ will be held on Saturday 20th January 2018 between 10:00-14:00 at The Riverside Centre, Newport.
The forum will inform residents and stakeholders on initiatives and projects being undertaken to address and highlight transport, commuting and pedestrian issues for people who live, work and travel to Newport.
In addition to this, ARC Consulting will be giving a presentation on the Shaping Newport Project – a 3-month project to gather the opinions of residents to help shape Newport in the future.
This is a good opportunity for the public and stakeholders to be advised and consulted on key issues affecting Newport and island residents accessing the county town.
Councillor Julie Jones-Evans said:
“Newport Parish Council is investing in the physical environment of our town, especially looking at the experience of all pedestrians. Working with our partners – Isle of Wight Council and Island Roads – is critical in bringing forth these improvements. I’d encourage Newport residents to come along to feed into the plans.”
Light refreshments will be available.
Speakers will include Cllr Julie Jones-Evans; Martin Gibson; Cycle Wight; Isle of Wight Council and ARC Consulting.
