One of the aims of the Ennis LTP is to reduce car dependence
Clare County Council is inviting the people of Ennis and surrounding areas to take part in a public consultation for the Ennis Local Transport Plan (LTP).
The consultation period has been extended from Monday, June 30 to Friday, July 11. A spokesperson for the project said, "Your participation in this consultation is important and we value any feedback you think should be reviewed by the project team to help inform the development of the Ennis LTP."
The Ennis Local Transport Plan will guide funding for future transportation projects across Ennis and surrounding areas including road, cycle and pedestrian infrastructure.
The Ennis LPT is being delivered by the Ennis Municipal District office of Clare County Council and Systra Ltd. The team from Systra includes consultants with significant experience in the delivery of sustainable infrastructure and transport planning.
The project has been developed in line with the National Transport Authority’s Area Based Transport Assessment (ABTA) methodology. The ABTA process seeks to devise the most appropriate strategy for the development of the town, taking account of land use and environmental considerations, identifying a viable and appropriate solution to Ennis’s anticipated transport requirements. This process has already been completed in towns such as Athlone and Clonmel.

One of the aims of the Ennis LTP is to reduce car dependence through improved sustainable transport and in doing so reduce the impacts of traffic congestion, provide solutions for sustainable growth and meet climate targets.
The purpose of the public consultation process is to clearly communicate the details of the draft LTP to the public in order to gain feedback on any issues or concerns arising from the proposals being made.
Public consultation boards, information, maps and supporting documents, including the draft Ennis Local transport Plan itself will be available for viewing at Áras Contae an Chláir, New Road in Ennis for the extended period of the consultation until Friday, July 11 during normal working hours.
