More peoplewill be working from home or hubs and hopefully fewer people will need to travel to work

internet will assist more effective usage of transport resources ranging from car sharing (young and old), car hiring rather than owning, increased usage of public transport provided it is affordable!!??
electric cars will improve pollution issues
Issue will remain potentially re lorries pollution unless electric vehicles become realistic option

Nothing to do with southend council - developed at government and industry level - encourage less pollution with noisy polluting vehicles

The internet is making it easier for us to travel on public transport and I think electric cars will become more and more popular however this will only mean an increase in vehicular traffic.

No - we do not have the infrastructure and the technology has not developed sufficiently to make driverless or electric cars both practical and possible.
They will compliment - but will not be the main methods
What would work would be Electric Buses, Internet to support better transport planning and ticketless payments on public transport.

EVs need to be encouraged and supported. EV charging should be standard in every car park in southend supported by renewable generation - solar, wind, batteries.
Destination charging facilities should be provided in the town centre to encourage EVs but also to encourage people to visit the town centre.
Electrical infrastructure locally must be considered with local generation encouraged to take pressure off the grid

I'm just waiting for electric cars to become more realiable and cheaper then that will be my choice over fossil fuel. We need to prepare for the need for charging points and build them into new properties to encourage usage.

It is like that travel will get smarter and they way users access public transport will change. the use of app and web based systems are already changing how people book taxis and pay for travel. Depending on how technology change. if driverless cars become mainstream it is possible that car ownership will reduce and people will book a car via a mobile device, the car will arrive in a few minutes and when the passengers are dropped off the car will go to the next job. depending on what technology takes over from the internal combustion engine EV charging point may be required on all streets and a network across the borough.

The internet and technological advances should reduce the need for people to commute to office based jobs , so we were surprised to see the anticipated need for increased office space into the future reported by the EDNA in section 3. The Council’s experience is that we are currently consolidating our space requirements.
Electric cars are going to become more prevalent and eventually the norm, although the more that we can provide genuinely effective alternatives to reliance on the car through effective public transport that meets people’s needs, the better this will be on a range of outcomes.

Many drivers love their cars for the independence it gives them. And security - there's no doubt since I haven't had a car I do not go out in the evening on my own anymore. Generally I'm impressed with the local train service esp c2c. The bus system would have to be a lot more effective and faster if it was to persuade a car driver to swap. It can take a journey 3 x as long by bus. Unless it was possible to have bus lanes. Also many people could not do their job without a car, especially carers, who aren't even paid for & during their journeys.

There will be a need for more provision for electric points – maybe lamp posts could be an option for vehicle charging points.
