The Chief Executive & Growth Director referred to the importance of investment in public transport and upgrading of the infrastructure. He highlighted recent successful strategic improvements including investment in rail, cycle and walking projects in the city. It was important to continue the dialogue with Devon County Council and the Heart of Devon Local Enterprise Partnership to ensure that the need for public transport growth in Exeter was acknowledged. Every effort was being made to take any opportunity to link the ambition for improvement across the county, working with other district councils, to develop the travel to work corridor to enable greater access to Exeter jobs.
