Introduction

The Local Transport Plan 4 Strategy and Implementation Plan was adopted in July 2022. View the Local Transport Plan. Since its adoption, Norfolk County Council has continued to monitor the delivery of the Local Transport Plan (LTP) actions set against 22 policies across the seven objectives:  

• Embracing the Future 
• Delivering a Sustainable Norfolk  
• Enhancing Connectivity  
• Enhancing Norfolk's Quality of Life  
• Increasing Accessibility  
• Improving Transport Safety  
• A Well Managed and Maintained Transport Network. 

This Local Transport Plan Delivery Report provides a summary of progress against each of the LTP4 Objectives/themes, showing the delivery highlights of projects and services that contribute to the objective from April 2024 to March 2025.  

The monitoring chapters will give a summary of the policies under the seven objectives as well as the delivery highlights. Through LTP4 monitoring we can better understand how to target effort, prioritise resources and seek external funding when it is available. 

There have been a great number of projects being developed, delivered and completed across the county. Highlights include: 

• Dereham Road / Breckland Road with Costessey Bowthorpe Mobility Hub 
• Heartsease Fiveways Junction reopened in May 2024 
• 82 public electric vehicle charge points installed on-street, at community centres and village halls through our Charge Collective and Plug In Norfolk initiatives.11 Moving Traffic Enforcement sites introduced to improve highway safety and bus reliability.

Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP) funded schemes developed and delivered so far in 2025/6 include:

In November 2024, DfT made a further allocation of £14.7m to continue funding the Bus Service Improvement Plan into 2026, allowing the work of improvements to continue and grow. Between 23/24 and 24/25 there has been 10% growth in passenger journeys, in addition to the 16% increase between 2022/3 and 2023/4. Therefore, the BSIP expectations continue to be exceeded. Further monitoring of the BSIP can be found in the latest Norfolk Bus Service Improvement Plan (PDF, 8 MB)
