Will Pedley has been named Transport Planner of the Year 2023. He was presented with the award by the Transport Planning Society for his work producing Oxfordshire County Council’s Implementing Decide & Provide document. He said it was “massively humbling” to have won among “such esteemed transport planning professionals”. Commenting on LinkedIn, he said: “We all need to collectively do all we can to pressure the Government to reform the planning system to ensure we can realise the goal of decarbonising our transport systems, to work together with colleagues, developers, local politicians, and the public to bring about fundamental systemic change for the sake of the planet and all of its inhabitants.”
