Roads

Canford Bottom Roundabout Wimborne Dorset March 2024

We promote alternatives to car travel and road-building in local areas, so that we can all get around easily, sustainably and more healthily.

Rather than easing it, new roads can actually generate more traffic and therefore pollution. We promote alternatives to car travel and road-building in rural areas, and support making existing roads greener and investing more in public transport alternatives as well as cycling and walking instead.

In March 2024 Dorset CPRE responded to survey to help shape travel and transport across Dorset.

Dorset Council and BCP Council are working together on a new joint local transport plan (LTP4). This is an opportunity for the councils to update plans to ensure that Dorset’s transport system meets the expectations of everyone, and to identify the most important issues to prioritise future investment.
