    9. APPENDIX B Minerals Site Allocations Plan – Report of Preferred Options Consultation – Appendix B 1.1 This report sets out the preferred options identified in the Bedfordshire and Luton Minerals Site Allocations plan alongside a summary of the consultation responses. It also contains initial officer recommendations in relation to the issues raised 1.2 A complete set of responses to the Minerals Site Allocations Plan is available on request 2. General 2.1 Go-East considers that Preferred Option Report has been produced in a comprehensive and systematic fashion. It notes that a sustainability appraisal has been carried out and is pleased to see a commentary on how this has influenced the development of the preferred options throughout the document, including the testing of potential sites and the justification for site selection. 2.2 It considers that layout, form, content and use of maps in the document are satisfactory. It does, however, suggest that a useful piece of evidence to underpin the submitted document would be a review of sites not worked for ten years or more to establish the likelihood of production being revived. 2.3 It also suggests that the overall need for minerals that is set out in the Site Allocations DPD is a strategic matter which should be addressed in the Core Strategy. 2.4 It must also be highlighted that operators and landowners whose sites were within the Issues and Options papers and have not been included within the Preferred Options have objected to their non inclusion. 3. Chapter 4 Aggregate Minerals – Overall Need Question 1 Do you agree that the identified need is correct? Please give reasons with your answer.

  • Cycling Strategy April 2013 Foreword
    Highways & Transportation Group Cycling Strategy for Milton Keynes www.milton-keynes.gov.uk/cycling-strategy April 2013 This document was adopted by the Cabinet Member for Transport on 23rd April 2013. It supersedes the previous Cycling Strategy (2001) and the Cycle Action Plan (2006). For further information please contact: Transport Policy & Programme Milton Keynes Council Civic Offices 1 Saxon Gate East Central Milton Keynes MK9 3EJ Tel: 01908 252561 Fax: 01908 254212 Email: [email protected] Web: www.milton-keynes.gov.uk/cycling-strategy Cycling Strategy April 2013 Foreword The Transport Vision and Strategy - also known as the Local Transport Plan 3 (LTP3) - sets out the policies and programmes for the Milton Keynes Borough from 2011 up to 2031. As Milton Keynes continues to grow, these plans have been put in place in order to accommodate the additional needs of the city and to maintain Milton Keynes as a favourable location for residents, businesses and visitors. This Cycling Strategy is one of a number of sub-strategies of the Transport Vision & Strategy. Milton Keynes is home to 290 kilometres of multi use paths known as Redways; it is also home to over 70 kilometres of leisure routes. The Redways offer a vast network of safe paths to cycle through the city, away from road traffic. To promote active travel in Milton Keynes, we need to ensure that we have a supportive built environment where people can cycle safely and where key services and destinations are located with cyclists in mind. We must also promote and facilitate cycling to help people overcome perceived barriers to cycling.
