Clare is the Head of Transport Strategy at the East Midlands Combined County Authority (EMCCA), responsible for developing the Local Transport Plan and broader policies at a regional scale. With over £2 billion of transport funding committed for the first six years, this is a big opportunity.

Clare joined EMCCA from The Walk Wheel Cycle Trust, where she was Director for the Midlands & East of England. She previously worked on climate change and energy strategy in Whitehall, and had roles supporting transport policy and scrutiny in Parliament and the third sector. She is a passionate advocate of the importance of transport in influencing our lives: our health, our opportunities, our streets and neighbourhoods, and the planet itself.
