In order to deliver the shared vision, there is a need to examine the role played by the different methods of travel and different aspects of transportation policy. Each Council has reviewed its strategies over a wide range of topic areas in the light of these new objectives and as a result of the main outcomes from consultation. All these have a part to play in delivering the plan's many objectives, and the overall strategy is based on identifying the most appropriate role of each of these topics in delivering objectives.
