Online Consultations

All the below are open consultations from third parties, such as FHDC, KCC, the Government and local developers.

KCC National Highways and Transport Survey 2023-24

KCC along with councils across the UK are asking residents to tell them what they think of transport and highways services in their area, and we’re one of those councils.

There are six independent surveys in total. Each survey will only take a few minutes of your time. They’re asking for your views on:

  • accessibility
  • highways maintenance
  • public transport
  • road safety
  • tackling congestion
  • walking and cycling

You can find out more about each below.

The answers you give will:

  • help them to understand how you feel about their service
  • inform decisions about roads, cycling, bus services and public transport in Kent.

Questionnaire Closes: 29 February 2024

Kent Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan –

KCC have a public consultation on the proposed active travel network which will form the first Kent Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (KCWIP).

They are carrying out a consultation to gather your views on the proposed cycling routes and walking and wheeling zones to enable residents and visitors to make more journeys on foot or by cycle.

Background: Why do we need a KCWIP?

The government’s ambition is to make walking, wheeling and cycling the natural choices, both for shorter and longer journeys. Transforming local areas in ways that support active travel will reduce congestion, improve air quality, improve physical and mental health and support local economies.
