PEOPLE?in Hampshire are being asked for their views on the county council’s range of highways and transport services – from the condition of roads and footpaths to the efficiency of street lights.

Their answers will be compared with responses from across England and Scotland through the national highways and transport public satisfaction survey.

Rob Humby, the county council’s executive member for environment and transport, said: “Good highways and transport infrastructure is a key priority for us. We know how important it is for Hampshire’s economic prosperity and for the people who live and work here to have a safe and reliable transport network. This survey provides us with a sound benchmark as to how we’re doing, and we appreciate the time taken by Hampshire residents to complete it and let us know what they think.

“Hampshire’s strategic location in the South, with an airport, two ports, and connections to major road and rail connections to London and the rest of the country, places particular importance on transport infrastructure, and it is crucial that these vital network links across Hampshire are managed well.

?“The results of this survey will help inform the way we carry out our duties to maintain and improve transport across the county, and show us which aspects of the service residents particularly value, and in which areas they would like to see improvements.”

The survey is the largest collaboration between local authorities, offering the opportunity to compare results, share in best practice, and identify further opportunities to work together in the future. The questionnaire will be sent to a minimum random sample of at least 3,300 of Hampshire’s residents with results published in October.
