Local Sustainable Transport Fund 15/16 Revenue Application Form North East Combined Authority Local Growth Fund LSTF Capital and Non-major Transport Schemes Business Case Template Guidance Notes 1.1 The North East Local Enterprise Partnership (NELEP) and Combined Authority (NECA) secured a £7.52 million Local Sustainable Transport Fund (LSTF) Capital Package for 2015/16 and 2016/17 as part of the Local Growth Fund. The LSTF Capital package encompasses a range of scheme families namely Urban Traffic Management & Control, Transport Gateway Improvements, Strategic Cycle Schemes and a ‘Green Light to Work’ Scooter scheme. 1.2 The NECA Transport Assurance Framework sets out the responsibility of NECA to ensure that schemes within the LSFT Capital Package support the objectives of the Strategic Economic Plan, offer a high value for money and are deliverable within funding timeframes. The presentation of a business case is therefore required for each individual scheme within the package. This note and business case proforma guidance should be read in conjunction with the NECA Transport Assurance Framework and the Transport & Digital Connectivity Chapter of the Strategic Economic Plan. It is expected that business cases are developed in proportion to scheme costs, which vary between £50,000 and £3 Million in the LSTF Capital Package. 1.3 The Local Growth Fund budget for each scheme family in the LSTF Capital package is:- • UTMC £2,781,000 • Strategic Cycle Schemes £4,190,000 • Gateways Improvements £ 450,000 • Green Light to Work £ 100,000 • Total LSTF Capital £7,521,000 1.4 A budget has been allocated to individual schemes within each LSTF Capital scheme family, as shown in the table on Page 3 of this document. 1.5 The NECA will undertake programme management and assurance of the approved LSTF Capital Package on behalf of the wider North East LEP / LA7 partnership. Scheme promoters are responsible for the design and implementation of schemes, development of scheme business case and scheme reporting. The NECA will review and ratify scheme business cases and issue funding offer letters and Grant Funding Agreements to scheme promoters. 1.6 The following procedure applies for review and approval of non-major scheme business case:- a) Scheme promoter completes business case proforma and submits to the NECA Regional Transport Team (RTT). b) Business case is checked by NECA appointed independent reviewers. c) Any proposed adjustments to business case issued back to scheme promoter. d) Final business case submitted by scheme promoter to NECA. e) Report submitted to NE Leadership Board or other delegated authority for approval. f) Grant Funding Agreement issued by NECA to scheme promoter. g) Scheme promoter implements scheme in accordance with final business case and Grant Funding Agreement. 1 1.7 This guidance note and business case proforma that follow are arranged around the ‘Five Cases’ approach set out by the Government (Green Book for Public Sector Business Cases), namely Strategic, Economic, Management, Financial and Commercial cases. The proforma provides guidance on the details to be completed by scheme promoters. 1.8 It is not necessary to develop a full scheme business case with a modelled evidence base for LSTF Capital and other non-major (sub £2.5M) transport schemes. The level of detail required for each scheme business case will vary and promoters should exercise their judgement in consultation with Regional Transport Team. A proportionate business case is expected: determined by overall cost, delivery timeframe, capacity of the promoter to undertake assessment of scheme components, and sectional relevance. 1.9 Further assistance on the level of detail required for a particular scheme business case can be obtained from the NECA Regional Transport Team [[email protected]]. 1.10 The delivery progress of all approved schemes will be reported through and monitored by the Project Vision project management system. 1.11 Completed business case proformas (from Page 5 of this document onwards) should be no more than 20 pages long excluding appendices, and comply with sectional word limits. 2 NECA LSTF Capital Scheme Spend Profiles (latest March 2016) Lead Partner Scheme Element Total UTMC 2015/16 Gateway Strategic Cycle Strategic Cycle Green £7.519m (£2.781m) Improvements Scheme Package Scheme Package Lights 2015-/17 (~£450K) 2015/16 (£570K) 2016/17 (£3.620m) (Scooters) 2015/16 (£100k) NECA (NCC to £2.781m £100k £2.881m project manage) (split of £2.3m (delivered Tyne & Wear; through Go £481k Durham) Smarter) Durham £83k £150k £450k £683k (RTPI = £70k) Gateshead £180k (design of joint £710k – GC and NCC £535k NCC/ GC route) to agree split of this Newcastle £69.5k £425k (RTPI = £15k) North Tyneside £65k £585k £650k Northumberland £107.4k £10k £590k £707.4k (RTPI = £72k) South Tyneside £51.2k £65k £585k £701.2k (Newcastle Airport) (RTPI = £15.3k) Sunderland £136k £100k £700k £936k (RTPI = £24k) RTPI Project (RTPI £65k)# costs Total £2.781m £447.1k £570k £3.620m £100k £7.519m (RTPI = £261.4k)* 3 *Note: The RTPI elements of the Gateway Improvements will be drawn together in a separate project to be delivered by Nexus. 4 #RTPI project costs of £65k include the following items: interactive software development costs (£20k); network design (£10k); network changes (£15k) plus contingency (£20k) based on the experience of delivering recent similar projects.

Project name: Gateway Improvements 2015-17 A2. Headline description: Facilities at key transport gateways are important factors in creating the right first- time impression for the increasing number of visitors to our region. At each regional gateway, real-time information (RTI) about local public transport will be introduced, providing accurate and timely information about onward travel options. These locations are major entry points into the NECA area with a high proportion of visitors for whom travel guidance is especially important. RTI displays form the kernel of the improvements, which will be supplemented as required by facilities such as cycle stands and lockers and way-finding improvements - these funded from other budgets. A3. Geographical area: The bid covers the provision of improvements at the following key Regional Gateways – the designation of locations as such is covered by the North East Local Enterprise Partnership’s Strategic Economic Plan: Airport Metro station and Newcastle International Airport Newcastle Central railway station - in bus shelters in surrounding streets Durham railway station Morpeth railway station Sunderland city centre Real-time information will also be provided within Sunderland railway station at a later date, as part of the forthcoming comprehensive modernisation project co- funded by Network Rail, Sunderland City Council and Nexus. A4. Total project cost (£000s): £261.4k (capital) £50k (revenue) - not funded via LSTF capital budget, available from 2015/16 LSTF revenue and must be claimed against costs incurred, by 31 March 2016.) Justification for this has been provided separately to the Tyne and Wear LSTF core team, and relates to the extensive staff time which has been incurred in researching, designing and developing the scheme to its current state of readiness. A5. Total LSTF Capital funding (£000s): £261.4k 7 This is to be capped at the identified funding dedicated to the project in the LSTF Capital North East Strategic Economic Plan submission (see attached). A6. Local contribution (£000s): Nil. Please provide details of the source of any local contribution to the overall cost of the project package. Where a contribution is from external sources, a letter confirming their commitment to contribute to the cost of a specific package element(s) should be attached. A7. Equality Analysis Has any Equality Analysis been undertaken in line with the Equality Duty? Nexus Corporate Management Team approved the progression of the scheme as part of the 2015/16 Non-Metro Capital Programme. The report was approved on 12 May 2015 (Minute 15/49 refers). A8. Partnership bodies: RTI displays and other supporting measures will be provided through partnership working as follows: Nexus will lead on the delivery of the RTI project, sourcing the hardware and co- ordinating the necessary software and data links. The majority of the sites are not Nexus assets hence partnership working will be essential to the delivery of the project as follows: Airport Metro – Newcastle International Airport Limited; South Tyneside Council (as lead NECA local

GMDT has continued its objective of developing partnership networks through facilitation to develop initiatives and through the skills base in the team adding value where ever possible to make Morpeth a quality place to live. GMDT has developed a portfolio of projects to deliver these aims and objectives and the major capital schemes which have benefitted the town include the redevelopment of Morpeth Town Hall and Morpeth Railway Station which generate development revenue and a sustainable income to support the activities of GMDT. This has been achieved through the support of a number of funding bodies who have invested in the vision to redevelop key public assets within Morpeth – the main funders being Heritage Lottery Fund, Network Rail, Northern Trains Limited, Northumberland County Council, Railway Heritage Trust and North East Rural Growth Network. The existing staff team is made up of 1 full time and 2 part time members supported by a range of professional associates to deliver a portfolio of quality projects and through engaging volunteers’ support and strong partnership working we work to maintain our level of service delivery for the benefit of Morpeth.

  • Alnwick, Hexham and Morpeth Town Centre Parking Study Produced by WYG Transport Planning
    Response to Northumberland County Council Alnwick, Hexham and Morpeth Town Centre Parking Study Produced by WYG Transport Planning. Author: Dennis Fancett, Chair of SENRUG e: [email protected] 1. Introduction 1.1 This is SENRUG’s response to the above referenced car park study which is currently available on Northumberland County Council’s website at: http://www.northumberland.gov.uk/Highways/Parking.aspx (scroll down to 'Parking Studies'). Responses are required by Wednesday 31st January 2018. 1.2 This response is only concerned with issues surrounding car parking at Morpeth Railway Station. 1.3 SENRUG is The South East Northumberland Rail User Group, an unincorporated voluntary organisation that promotes rail travel and campaigns for better rail services in, within, to, from and through South East Northumberland, representing the interests of both existing and potential rail travellers in the area. By ‘potential’, SENRUG means those who would use rail services if only the trains went where they want to go, at the time they want to go, at a price they can afford, and in a clean, safe, secure, accessible and easy to understand manner. 2. Consultation Process 2.1 Given SENRUG’s known interest in the need to increase car parking provision at Morpeth Station, the fact that it has previously submitted proposals to Northumberland County Council as to how this could be done, and convened meetings between Northumberland County Council and the train operators, SENRUG is very disappointed to discover it was not included in the list of known stakeholders for Morpeth who were consulted prior to the study’s publication.
