[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

The Local Transport Act 2008 gives local councils in England greater control over planning and delivering transport services in their areas. It allows them to make decisions about buses, cycling schemes, and other local transport to suit their community's needs, rather than relying so much on national government decisions.
