Transport issues affecting healthcare appointments in Rotherham

Report - 22 July 2024

During April 2024, we ran a survey where we asked Rotherham residents to tell us about their experiences of travelling to their healthcare appointments.

We wanted to get a better understanding of how reliable and accessible public transport is for people who use it, as well as the issues facing other transport users.

We have now produced a report from the feedback we received.

Find out what issues have been highlighted and what recommendations we've made for change.
