Project name: North Colchester Sustainable Connectivity Corridor A2. Headline description: Our scheme promotes, encourages and supports sustainable journeys along the North Colchester Sustainable Connectivity Corridor to enable future housing and employment growth in line with the Local Enterprise Partnership’s Strategic Economic Plan and directly supports the submission contained within as ‘Colchester LSTF Capital’. The scheme focuses on workplace journeys as they make up the greatest proportion of traffic along this heavily congested corridor during the peak periods. We will provide tailored advice, information, support, events and incentives to key destinations along the corridor including hospitals, schools, colleges, the station and town centre businesses. Our initiatives will be underpinned by targeted and innovative marketing campaigns such as a smart phone journey planning app. Our scheme is a partnership initiative between Essex County Council and Colchester Borough Council who are committed to developing the project in 2014/15 ready to launch in Spring 2015, to achieve the greatest possible modal shift.
