Transport Connectivity Across City and County Event

Join Leicestershire Business Voice (LBV), in partnership with Loughborough University, for an engaging forum exploring the future of transport connectivity across Leicester and Leicestershire.
This interactive event will bring together businesses, transport providers, local authorities and academic experts to discuss the opportunities and challenges facing our transport network. From roads and rail to buses, cycling, wheeling and walking, you'll have the opportunity to share your experiences, hear from key decision-makers and contribute to the conversation about creating a better-connected region.

Hear from leading voices including:

• Ann Carruthers - Director of Growth, Environment and Transport, Leicestershire County Council
• Dan Pearman - City Transport Director at Leicester City Council
• Marcus Enoch - Professor in Transport Strategy, Loughborough University
• Matthew Taylor - Regional Benefits & Value Manager at National Highways

The event will include roundtable discussions with local businesses, updates from transport authorities and operators, an interactive panel discussion and networking opportunities over refreshments and a buffet lunch.
The recent Local Government Reorganisation announcements mark an important moment for the future of our region. This event will consider the implications of these new announcements on the local transport infrastructure.
Whether your business relies on employees commuting, deliveries reaching customers or clients accessing your services, transport plays a vital role in your success. This is your opportunity to have your voice heard and help shape future conversations around connectivity across the city and county.
