Local Accessibility Action Plan
This Local Accessibility Action Plan (LAAP) sets out our access vision for Walsall, our priorities and the way we intend to achieve our vision: “we will work as a partnership to provide efficient and effective access to opportunities that are important for a high quality of life.”
Accessibility means: Can people get to key services at reasonable cost, in reasonable time and with reasonable ease? Accessibility depends on several things: does the transport exist between the people and the service? Do people know about the transport, trust its reliability and feel safe using it? Are people physically and financially able to access transport? Are the services and activities within a reasonable distance? Solving accessibility problems may be about transport but also about locating and delivering key activities in ways that help people reach them.
This document describes the work carried out so far, and what we plan to do to turn this vision into reality. It is proposed that as the plan develops through more engagement at the local level, and as changes occur to both land-use and transport networks, the action plan will be continually reviewed and updated. Therefore, this Local Accessibility Action Plan will remain a live and evolving document.
