This includes discussion of funding and the consideration of financial sustainability. 1.3.6 Section 5 presents an indicative implementation and transition plan for how these types of transport could be implemented over time.

  • Supplement to Newsletter 121: Because of the Temporary Closure Of
    Supplement to Newsletter 121: Because of the temporary closure of the copying shop we normally use (Staples at Mitcham’s Corner), delivery of paper copies of this newsletter has been delayed. If anyone not in receipt of the electronic copies would have liked to attend the climate lobby or the anti-austerity march (and hadn’t been made aware of these events through other channels), we apologise. There should, however, still be time to attend the Bedford Area Bus Users Society AGM on Sat 4 July, at which Claire Walters, the Chief Executive of Bus Users UK (to which we are affiliated), will be speaking. We have taken advantage of this delay to add some recent news (or items that have only recently come to our attention) – see below. Report on anti-austerity march: About 10 people assembled at the designated meeting point (EAT at 85 King William St, between Bank and Monument stations) and took the “Save Our Buses/Stop Cutting Buses” placards supplied by the Campaign for Better Transport. They also had a banner. Several other people expressed interest in our campaign and took further placards for use on the march – which was a start, though nowhere near enough to give the issue of buses the prominence it deserves. One campaigner from Fleet in Hampshire brought a cutout bus in the livery of what had been her local operator, Fleet Buzz, until it was taken over by Stagecoach. We then took our place in the march, arriving at Parliament Square about 15.20. As we weren’t at the front, by then the speeches had started, but they continued for over another hour, as more marchers arrived, ending about 16.40.

The current parking problems in Cambourne Everyone shares frustrations when driving around Cambourne. As more dwellings are built, the traffic build-ups increase during peak times. With more people owning cars than ever before, and an increasing number of households owning more than one vehicle, the places people choose to park sometimes leave a lot to be desired. In order to demonstrate some of the Cambourne residents’ frustrations, I carried out a survey through the Cambourne Information Facebook group, which encouraged people to answer the following three questions: 1. Are you happy with the parking in Cambourne? From 42 responses: 11.9% answered that they were happy. 88.1% answered that they were not happy . 2. Are there any problem areas you would like to tell us about? (No naming and shaming).

  • 2 Strategic Case
    Transforming Norwich Strategic Outline Business Case 2 Strategic Case We want Norwich to be a city where residents, employees and visitors choose to travel by clean and shared transport modes. The ‘Transforming Norwich’ programme offers the opportunity to deliver this step-change in mobility through investment in transport that will enhance access to employment and learning; creating a healthier city, with increasing social mobility and economic growth. 2.1 Introduction This chapter outlines the Strategic Case for the ‘Transforming Norwich’ programme. It sets out the key challenges faced in Norwich and the case for much-needed investment in sustainable transport. Additionally, this chapter summarises how the programme will contribute towards the wider national, regional and more local policy objectives. The Strategic Case is presented, as follows: • Section 2.2 – Summary of Strategic Case • Section 2.3 – The Greater Norwich Region • Section 2.4 – The Need for Investment – Overall Summary • Section 2.5 – The Need for Investment – Detailed Analysis • Section 2.6 – Our Vision and Objectives • Section 2.7 – Developing the ‘Transforming Norwich’ Programme • Section 2.8 – The ‘Transforming Norwich’ Programme • Section 2.9 – Strategic Fit • Section 2.10 – Strategic Benefits and Impacts • Section 2.11 – Overall Summary of the Strategic Case This strategic context has been critical to shaping the development of the ‘Transforming Norwich’ programme. At an early stage of preparing our programme, we prepared a Logic Map, setting out the objectives, challenges, inputs, outputs, outcomes and impacts. We shared this with colleagues at the Department for Transport (DfT) at an early stage and have used this throughout the development of our programme.
