As a result of our assessment process, 38 proposals have been prioritised for inclusion in our regional Strategic Investment Plan. These proposals were selected from the pool based on their regional significance and ability to deliver the 5 Key Aims of the Strategic Transport Plan at the lowest cost. Together, they form our recommendation to government for investment in regionally important transport proposals in Western Gateway over the next 10 years.
The proposals are shown in the map(s) below. You can click on the areas for more information about each proposal. You can also look at the full list of selected proposals (in order of priority) in this table.

This means that a number of proposals that are likely to be important in the future are not yet included in our current SIP but are expected to come forward in future iterations. This includes a number of motorway proposals that are potential candidates for Road Investment Strategy 3.
Conversely, proposals that are very local in nature - such as individual bus services (that do not cross Authority boundaries), potholes or improvements to specific routes or local infrastructure - are best dealt with through the relevant local authorities and are not suitable for inclusion in a regional Strategic Investment Plan. Representations on local matters will not be addressed here but will be forwarded to the relevant local authority for consideration.
