This OTP follows on from the Framework Travel Plan dated 20th June 2014 prepared in support of the masterplan for the regular Army’s rebasing proposals for Salisbury Plain. The OTP has been produced to accord with relevant national and local policy documents. It sets out potential measures that could be introduced to influence modal choice with a view to reducing dependency upon the private car. This OTP is a ‘live’ document and will be subject to ongoing monitoring and review for a time period to be agreed with Wiltshire Council (typically 5-years post development completion/occupation). DELIVERY A number of possible measures have been put forward to encourage use of sustainable modes by military personnel, MOD civilian staff and contractors to travel to work and to ensure that they have sufficient information to make an informed choice on their mode of travel. These measures are to be investigated further and where feasible/beneficial implemented. Of the measures considered to offer the greatest potential to encourage sustainable travel the following are proposed for further investigation: 1. Allocation of SFA to military personnel working at a local Camp to minimise need to travel by car 2. Cycling/Walking Scheme to identify a route to link Camps with new/existing SFA 3. Provide safe & secure pedestrian and cycle access from new SFA to Camps 4. Improved pedestrian crossings and reduced speeds on roads adjacent to Camps 5. Improved on-camp cycle parking/storage provision 6. Improved bus services to Larkhill & Perham Down and improved local bus stop infrastructure 7. Car share scheme for all camp employees (military and civilian) 8. ANPR Camp entry system linked to ‘universal’ parking permits 9. Shuttle bus to provide links to medical/dental centres and railway station 10. Promotion of sustainable travel and resultant health benefits Army Basing Programme: Infrastructure Delivery Overarching Travel Plan Site-specific Travel Plans have also been developed as part of the planning application process for the proposed new SFA. These Travel Plans will integrate with the OTP. There are several challenges associated with identifying modal share targets at this stage: • There is no up to date travel survey data available for the Camps covered by the OTP. • Travel and traffic patterns will be subject to change over a period of several years due to rebasing. • Traffic movements to/from Camps vary due to normal operational requirements. Establishing a reliable baseline against which modal share targets can be identified is therefore not straight forward and will require the collection of new travel data. The main objective of the OTP is to reduce military-related car movements on the local highway network during the AM (0800-0900hrs) and PM (1700-1800hrs) ‘highway’ peak periods when the local network is busiest. For a typical planning application/development scenario travel plan measures are applied to reduce development generated traffic flows to help minimise off-site traffic impacts and thereby reduce the need for and scale of any off-site highway improvements required to mitigate the development. In this instance, assuming that travel plan reductions only apply to new car trips due to rebasing would underestimate the overall potential benefits because, in practice, travel plan measures would also affect existing military travel to work trips already on the local highway network, in addition to new trips due to rebasing. However, it is not possible to isolate and quantify existing military-related car trips already on the local highway network so it is not possible to determine the exact benefits that could be achieved through the introduction of successful travel plan measures. Given these difficulties it is recommended that the most reliable indicator of the success of any travel plan measures will be travel surveys undertaken at the Camps and proposed SFA to establish baseline modal splits and travel behaviour for service personnel and MOD civilian staff. It is proposed that these surveys are undertaken prior to implementation of the OTP and annually thereafter (duration to be agreed with Wiltshire Council). The results from these surveys will feed into the OTP and will help to advise production of Annual Monitoring Reports. Army Basing Programme: Infrastructure Delivery Overarching Travel Plan Due to the absence of contemporary data to allow a reliable baseline to be established it is not considered appropriate to identify modal share targets at this stage. These will need to be identified and agreed with Wiltshire Council once updated travel surveys have been undertaken. It is essential that an effective management structure is established from the outset with responsibility and appropriate influence to be able to deliver the measures identified in the OTP. To this end an Executive Board has been established comprising representatives from relevant user groups. The Executive Board held its first meeting on 8th January 2015 and will meet approximately every six months. The Executive Board will oversee the development and delivery of the OTP, the implementation of sustainable transport measures and monitoring and reporting on their effectiveness at achieving targets. To be effective it is also essential that the cost to implement and maintain the proposed sustainable transport measures is identified and appropriate funding secured. Funding methods will be subject to further ongoing discussion between the OTP stakeholders. However, it is anticipated that the main source will be through the Masterplan Infrastructure Delivery Plan. Where measures cannot be directly linked to new development alternative funding streams may need to be explored (e.g. capital funding from MOD/DIO). Appropriate funding will also need to be secured to cover ongoing administrative support for the OTP and to cover the cost of monitoring and annual reporting.

  • Addendum to School Places Strategy 2017-2022 – Explanation of the Differences Between Wiltshire Community Areas and Wiltshire School Planning Areas
    Addendum to School Places Strategy 2017-2022 – Explanation of the differences between Wiltshire Community Areas and Wiltshire School Planning Areas This document should be read in conjunction with the School Places Strategy 2017 – 2022 and provides an explanation of the differences between the Wiltshire Community Areas served by the Area Boards and the School Planning Areas. The Strategy is primarily a school place planning tool which, by necessity, is written from the perspective of the School Planning Areas. A School Planning Area (SPA) is defined as the area(s) served by a Secondary School and therefore includes all primary schools in the towns and surrounding villages which feed into that secondary school. As these areas can differ from the community areas, this addendum is a reference tool to aid interested parties from the Community Area/Area Board to define which SPA includes the schools covered by their Community Area. It is therefore written from the Community Area standpoint. Amesbury The Amesbury Community Area and Area Board covers Amesbury town and surrounding parishes of Tilshead, Orcheston, Shrewton, Figheldean, Netheravon, Enford, Durrington (including Larkhill), Milston, Bulford, Cholderton, Wilsford & Lake, The Woodfords and Great Durnford. It encompasses the secondary schools The Stonehenge School in Amesbury and Avon Valley College in Durrington and includes primary schools which feed into secondary provision in the Community Areas of Durrington, Lavington and Salisbury. However, the School Planning Area (SPA) is based on the area(s) served by the Secondary Schools and covers schools in the towns and surrounding villages which feed into either The Stonehenge School in Amesbury or Avon Valley College in Durrington.

  • Covid-19 Community Groups Directory
    COVID-19 COMMUNITY GROUPS DIRECTORY updated 13 August 2020 1 DM20_295 ONLINE INTRODUCTION The communities of Wiltshire have risen to the challenge of COVID-19 to make sure people are supported through this very difficult time. The council has collated all the community groups we have identified so far so that those who need support for themselves or a loved one can make direct contact. In the time available we have only been able to collate this directory and therefore this is not an endorsement of the groups listed but it is for you to decide what use you will make of the offers of support at this time. If anyone uses a community group and has concerns about the response/practice please inform us by emailing [email protected] giving the clear reasons for your concern. The council wants to ensure that everybody can access the support they need. If you make contact with a group and they cannot help or you do not get a response within the required timeframe, then please do not hesitate to contact the council by emailing [email protected] and we will ensure you get the support you need. FOOD BANKS At this difficult time, food banks are in need of more volunteers and donations. If you are able to help in any way please get in touch with your local food bank. Food banks are there to support vulnerable people in a crisis, which is usually subject to a referral from a trusted source such as a social worker.
