Councillor Russell Oppenheimer, Hampshire County Council’s Executive Member for Highways Operations, said: “Having transport infrastructure that is well managed and maintained is vital for the current and future economic prospects of the county as well as the quality of life for everyone who lives, works and visits Hampshire. We look after over 5,500 miles of road in Hampshire and we know the standard of footways, roads and transport services is very important to our residents. The results from this survey help us to build a picture of where we’re doing well and where we could do better and can help to inform future service improvements. I would like to encourage as many people as possible to take the time to give us their views.” To take part in the online survey, which closes on 28th February 2022 , visit: www.hant s .gov.uk/ t ranspor t /nht - surveys Further information about the survey and past results are available at: www. nhtnetwork.org/ Hampshire County Council has taken part in this national survey since it began in 2008.
