Roads & Travel
At the Tonbridge and Malling Green Party, we believe that how we travel shapes our communities, our health, and our planet. That’s why we’re committed to creating a transport system that works for everyone—because we’re working hard, not just during elections, to make travel in Kent safer, greener, and more efficient.
Encourage Active Travel
Walking and cycling are good for our health and the planet. We will invest in safe, accessible routes for pedestrians and cyclists, making it easier for everyone to choose active travel. From dedicated cycle lanes to well-maintained footpaths, we’ll ensure that Kent is a place where walking and cycling are safe and enjoyable options for all.
Push for Better Public Transport
Reliable, affordable public transport is essential. We will work with providers to improve bus and train services, ensuring that everyone in Kent can get where they need to go. Whether it’s more frequent services, better connections, or lower fares, we’re committed to making public transport a convenient and attractive choice.
Improve Existing Roads
Well-maintained roads are safer and more efficient. We will prioritize repairs and upgrades, ensuring that Kent’s road network is fit for the future. From fixing potholes to upgrading infrastructure, we’ll make sure our roads are in top condition for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians alike.
Invest in Road Safety Campaigns
Safety is our priority. We will run campaigns to promote responsible driving, cycling, and walking, reducing accidents and saving lives. By raising awareness and encouraging safer behaviour, we can create a transport system that protects everyone.
Encourage Car Sharing
Sharing rides reduces emissions and eases congestion. We will promote car-sharing schemes and provide incentives for residents to share journeys, making travel greener and more affordable. Car sharing is a simple way to cut costs, reduce traffic, and help the environment.
