Transport Plan 2006-11 Progress Report 2008 Engineering Services Local Transport Plan 2006-11 Progress Report 2008 Head of Engineering Services Foreword Welcome to our 2008 Local Transport Plan Progress Report in which you will find an update on the progress we are making in delivering a broad range of Foreword local improvements, including some very exciting and innovative transport schemes and initiatives. I believe that the Council has a lot to be proud of in terms of the progress and ongoing improvements that are being made. The adoption of our challenging Eco-Island Sustainable Communities Strategy, the development of a new Local Development Framework (Island Plan) and progress towards delivery our highway maintenance Private Finance Initiative (PFI) have provided us with a firm foundation on which to build for the future. We continue to take an innovative and exciting approach to improving local transport, reducing accidents and increasing travel choice on the Island. We have re-evaluated and improved our financial management and procurement processes and are using our Transport Asset Management Plan, not only to inform and guide our spending, but also as an essential part of delivering our PFI. Ongoing work with our partners has helped to dramatically increase the number of passengers using our local bus services and rail improvements are being made through the Community Rail Partnership as well as through the development of a new and exciting multimillion pound interchange at Ryde Esplanade. The Council is seeking to increase travel choice and the delivery of a joint Workplace Travel Plan in partnership with our local hospital / PCT, work with SUSTRANS and others to improve local cycle facilities and delivery of cycle training as part of the school curriculum, are all helping to reduce reliance on the car. In addition to this, our work to develop our Rights of Way Improvement Plan, the delivery of local safety schemes, proactive speed reduction measures and other “hearts and minds” initiatives have all shown that, even as a small authority, we can by working with our partners make tangible and worthwhile improvements.

Introduction A.1 Local Transport Plan (LTP) Introduction The Transport Act 2000 requires every Highway Authority in England and Wales – with the exception of London Boroughs, to prepare a Local Transport Plan (LTP2) for their area. The aim of which is to set out the Council’s long- term vision for transport and includes a five year strategy and investment programme. The Isle of Wight Council’s first Local Transport Plan (LTP) was compiled in 2000 and covered the years 2001- 2006, with progress reported every year in the form of an Annual Progress Report submitted for evaluation to Government Office for the South East (GOSE) and the Department for Transport (DfT).

Scope of the Review 3 B. Limitations and responsibilities Distribution list For action: Helen Miles, Head of Legal Services and Monitoring Officer For information: John Metcalfe, Chief Executive FINAL PwC C - 30 Back Executive summary Background and scope Outcomes Appendices Executive summary (1 of 1) Overview The replacement of the Cowes Floating Bridge is a high profile project for the Isle of Wight Council and was initially integrated with the overall project plans to deliver the regeneration of East Cowes. In order to ensure that there was a suitable level of community engagement and agreement there was a need for additional consultation on the wider regeneration of the local area. The Solent Gateways initiative, which originally included the Floating Bridge replacement, progressed more slowly than originally planned due to planning issues. Therefore the Floating Bridge project was separated out in order to secure the funding that had been identified under the Local Growth Deal. The Council therefore separated the Bridge from the East Cowes regeneration project in order to deliver the Bridge with Local Growth Deal funds. The Council duly completed the required Business Cases and secured the funding to support the Cowes Floating Bridge infrastructure development. The project progressed through specification, tender and appointment phases for the key contractors for example Naval Architects, Marine Engineers, Owners Representative etc. and infrastructure elements for example the boat itself and the slipway works.

    5/9/2018 Local Government Boundary Commission for England Consultation Portal Isle of Wight Personal Details: Name: Linda Allen E-mail: Postcode: Organisation Name: these are my own personal comments Comment text: I live in the Bembridge, St Helens and Brading Ward, and at present there are two councillors who represent the three areas. This works very well with each councillor covering certain aspects of local government responsibilities, rather than area, and when one is away, the other covers, liaising with each other and the three Town and Parish Councils. I think the ward boundary should remain the same, with two ward councillors, as there are no large development proposals in the near future (as far as I am aware) which would compromise electoral equality. The three areas - Bembridge, St Helens and Brading, form a natural physical boundary, with the parish boundaries reflecting the perimeter of the Ward boundary.
