Highland Council Plans Community Transport Meeting Across Region
The Highland Council is organizing a meeting on August 13 for community transport providers across the Highlands to discuss current provisions and future opportunities in community transport. NHS Highlands will also participate to explore growth and collaborative working, emphasizing the vital role these services play in areas with limited or no public transport. Councillor Ken Gowans highlighted the importance of empowering communities to establish transport services that meet their local needs, fostering social benefits and community empowerment. The meeting will provide a valuable networking opportunity to share best practices and explore future projects, with options to attend in person or remotely. Meanwhile, in Scotland, concerns have been raised about the accessibility of electric vehicle (EV) chargepoints for disabled people, with calls for mandatory standards to ensure inclusivity as EV adoption increases. Additionally, Essex County Council has launched a public consultation on its draft transport strategy, aiming to guide transport priorities and secure funding amid local government changes, with feedback invited until September 24.
