Transport East (TE) is the Sub-national Transport Body for Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Southend-on-Sea and Thurrock. Following a review of their role and functions, TE have published a draft proposal exploring options to extend its powers, seeking to enable more effective delivery of its transport strategy on behalf of the region. Tendring District Council has been invited to comment on the proposals, to ensure they fully and accurately reflect the needs and priorities of the region.
