- ⁄ South of Ashbourne Rural Accessibility Study
One of the five key priorities of Derbyshire County Council's second Local Transport Plan (LTP) 2006-11 was to improve local accessibility. In order to achieve this the LTP included an accessibility strategy.
This accessibility strategy identified that, in an area south of Ashbourne, there are a large number of villages and hamlets that have limited access to services and facilities.
To this end Derbyshire County Council, Derbyshire Dales District Council and South Derbyshire District Council (the three authorities in which the study area largely falls) commissioned consultants Scott Wilson to:
- Identify how settlements 'cluster' in the provision of services and facilities.
- Assess current ways in which people within the study area access facilities and services.
- Identify barriers preventing people within the study area accessing particular services and facilities.
- Consider how access to services and facilities from within the study area could be improved.
The study was presented to the District Council in April 2009 and is available to download below:
