The local authority has published a draft version of its Mobility Strategy.
Members of the Perth and Kinross public will soon be given the chance to have their say on how to improve travel options in the area.
Feedback from the consultation will be used to inform the final version of the council's Mobility Strategy. The Kinross-shire councillor added that it "offers a comprehensive proposal to guide the management and development of our transport network over the next 15 years". Martin added: "Where I live, every new house that's built is effectively an extra car journey into Perth - approximately at least once a week - because people have to come to Perth to do their shopping because their local shops are poor, irregular and expensive."Conservative councillor David Illingworth was "sceptical".
Council leader Grant Laing added: "If we don't have a strategy or a way to move forward, we will definitely end up just being where we are. The idea of a strategy is to try and change things."
