Efficient, effective management of the county’s transport infrastructure is one of our key responsibilities. The availability of a safe, serviceable transport network is essential to allow ready access to the county’s towns and villages, as well as providing smooth passage through the county for business, tourism and for residents. The network provides access to services, links between settlements, as well as access from towns and villages into our beautiful countryside.
