View answerMy Department's Sectoral Plan, prepared under the Disability Act 2005, provides that local authorities develop co-ordination arrangements with local transport operators to improve the accessibility of public roads, footpaths, streets and crossings leading to ground, air and sea transport facilities and accessible routes to and from public transport. The Sectoral Plan also provides that progress in the various matters in the Plan will be included in local authorities' annual reports.
