The document has been prepared to conform with the guidance on Full Local Transport Plans issued in March 2000 together with other supplementary information and builds upon last year s provisional plan. The Council welcomes the valuable policy and financial frameworks for longer term transport investment provided by the Integrated Transport White Paper and more recently the Transport 2010 - the 10 Year Plan published in July 2000. The vision, policies, programmes and targets within the Bristol Transport Plan are wholly consistent with the Government s approach to safeguarding the environment and developing an integrated urban transport system to tackle problems of congestion, pollution, social exclusion and promote economic regeneration and prosperity. It was particularly pleasing to note that the city s provisional plan was commended on several occasions for these aspects in your department s Good Practice Guide. The Council remains fully committed to deliver at a local level transport policies that meet national needs. The Council undertook a very extensive public consultation exercise during the preparation of the Provisional Local Transport Plan last year, to gain the endorsement and ownership of the adopted transport strategy by local people, businesses, transport stakeholders and a wide variety of particular interest groups. This work has continued again this year with further public participation in a more targeted form, culminating in the involvement of the Bristol Transport Users Group (the Council s main consultation forum on transport) and the reconvened Bristol Transport Plan Commission. There is strong public support for the strategy of investing in alternative modes of transport whilst lessening dependency on private car use and the Council s most urgent need is to ensure these quality alternatives are in place or under construction well in advance of adopting any of the new forms of restraint currently under consideration. To this end, last year s Local Transport Settlement was especially welcome since it resulted in a near doubling of historic settlement levels to an eventual total of £6.72 million. Indeed, of this settlement, the amount available for integrated transport investment increased threefold to £4.5 million. This has enabled the Council to adopt a greatly enhanced programme of capital investment this year. As evidence of the Council s commitment to improving transport it has decided to make available a considerable amount of its own resources this year to top up the programme to the level of the bid for last year-some £12 million in total. Cabinet The Council House Councillor Helen Holland Website College Green Executive Member for Environment, www.bristol-city.gov.uk Bristol BS1 5TR Transport and Leisure This greatly enhanced programme will see the delivery next year of a number of key elements in the strategy including showcase bus routes, a new park and ride facility, expansion of community transport, further development of the national cycle network, more safer routes to school and home zone schemes and improved road safety. Of particular importance to the Council is the proposal to develop Line One of an eventual light-rail network to serve the city and its hinterland. You will be aware that the Council, in conjunction with South Gloucestershire Council, are discussing with Partnerships UK and the private sector, methods of procurement and securing funding for Line One (estimated to cost in total some £120 million) and the acknowledgement of this proposal in the Government s 10 Year Transport Plan is most welcome. The Council is confident that the information presented in the Local Transport Plans of both authorities, together with the further work in hand, will enable the necessary support to be forthcoming for the scheme to be progressed through the Transport and Works Act procedures. As you will be aware, the Council has been an active participant in the Charging Development Partnership which the Government set up with 24 local authorities at the beginning of the year. This high level forum is proving invaluable in identifying and resolving the complex issues that will arise for any authority pursuing new sources of funding from the legislation contained in the Transport Bill currently passing through its Parliamentary stages. The Council will continue to research the role that Road User Charging can play as an element of the strategy, but it will only consider introducing such powers once alternative transport investment is secured and following full public involvement in the decision. The Council also welcomes some of the other provisions contained in the Transport Bill currently before Parliament. In addition to the charging powers described above, it eagerly awaits the provisions that will enable better quality bus and rail services to be put in place including, crucially, better public transport information and more user friendly ticketing. It still believes that it may need to seek approval to introduce Quality Bus Contracts in order to secure the improvements to the bus services that are clearly needed in the city. The Government has invited Local Authorities to bid for Centre of Excellence status and I believe that this Council has considerable experience in developing a range of integrated transport measures and spreading good practice. Details of these activities are included in the Local Transport Plan and there is an emphasis on the leading role exercised in travel demand management techniques and the involvement in European networks and I trust the bid will be given due consideration. Finally, mention should be made of the new arrangements which, since May, the Council has been operating as part of the modernising of local government agenda. The Transport Plan will continue to be subjected to this process and I believe this will give much greater clarity, accountability and speed in introducing measures to the benefit of the city. The Plan has also been drawn up in consultation with neighbouring authorities to ensure co- ordination and consistency of approach where appropriate. The Council believes that it has presented a strong case for obtaining its fair share of the additional funds available for local transport. Accordingly, I am confident that you will be able to recommend a favourable settlement in terms of resource allocation for 2001/02 and beyond. Yours sincerely Councillor Helen Holland Executive Member for Environment, Transport and Leisure A Vision for Bristol A Vision for Bristol "In Bristol we have a city to be proud of with beautiful places to go, masses of things to do and lively communities to live in. Although lots of people in the city have a high standard of living, many do not, and even those who are materially fortunate can be impoverished in other ways.

  • Our Vision for Transport in Greater Bristol
    1 of 24 Our vision for transport in greater Bristol 2 of 24 Bristol is a great city, but its transport needs to change As Bristol residents, we love our city. We want it to be the best city that it can be: a clean, zero carbon, just city where everyone can have a rich, fulfilling and happy life. To do this, Bristol’s transport system needs a big upgrade. In this document, we set out why, and how it can be done. Our proposals have been informed by talking to many residents who also think that transport needs to change – we are grateful for their time and expertise. Here we set out our intentions and a plan to deliver them. Like any real plan, it is subject to change as circumstances change. We do not claim that our proposals will fix every problem in the city. But they will make a big difference. We start with the principles behind our approach. Then we dig into the transport problem, and what we can do about it. We do have more detailed plans on our website (www.tfgb.org) on rapid transit(trams), buses, parking, and traffic management. This report was developed by our consultants, Mo- bility Lab in consultation with us, as a synthesis of those plans and input from people in the city. The website will also give you Mobility Lab’s comprehensive background reports, and a summary of our meetings with stakeholders. So if you want to explore the detail more, then please take a look. And if you like what you see, please join us to make these plans happen.

  • Invertebrate Survey of the A30 and A38 Road Verges in Area 1 (Cornwall and Devon) Steven Falk Mark Tunmore October 2015
    Inspiring change for Important Invertebrate Areas in the UK Invertebrate Survey of the A30 and A38 road verges in Area 1 (Cornwall and Devon) 11th September 2014 Susan Thompson - Grants & Trusts Officer Steven Falk Mark Tunmore Saving the small things that run the planet October 2015 1 Executive summary Between late May and late August 2015, Buglife Services carried out an invertebrate survey of the A30 and A38 in Devon and Cornwall. 41 visits to 23 sample points were undertaken on the A30 and 25 visits to 18 sampling points were undertaken on the A38, and a range of invertebrate groups were targeted. 866 taxa were recorded, the list being dominated by flies (361), beetles (177), butterflies & moths (109), bugs (82), bees, ants & aculeate wasps (53), spiders & harvestmen (50), grasshoppers & crickets (11) and dragonflies & damselflies (11). Pitfall trapping (not permitted) would have extended the beetle and bug lists greatly. The list included a number of rare and scarce species (notably the tachinid fly Policheta unicolor and lygaeid bug Trapezonotus ullrichi) and seemingly the first SW England record for the Southern oak bush-cricket (Meconema meridionalis) which is a recent British colonist. The list reveals the tremendous variety of life cycle strategies and other ecological relationships associated with road verge invertebrates. Pollinators are very well represented within the species list. The list and sample sizes reveal the strong influence of surrounding habitat, geographic location, altitude and underlying geology/ground conditions. There is a discernible ‘Bodmin Moor effect’ (decreased abundance and diversity of thermophilic invertebrates with altitude) and a strong ‘Dartmoor effect’ (increased abundance and diversity of thermophilic invertebrates on the A38 east of Dartmoor).

  • Summary of Comments - Lets Talk About Supported Transport
    APPENDIX C(1) Summary of comments - Lets talk about Supported Transport Aim of the consultation The consultation sought to engage a range of stakeholders in a debate about the savings the council needs to make with its spending on supported transport services and the opportunities to reconfigure these services following a tendering process and a reflection on some of the recent changes e.g. concessionary bus passes for older people. The consultation ran from 1 March 2011 and closed on 11 May – a period of just over 9 weeks. How was the consultation conducted The council used multiple channels to get the message out that it was seeking to engage people on these issues. The channels used were: • Press release • Leaflets on all buses, community transport vehicles, in doctors surgeries and newsagents • Posters at Park & Ride sites • A listing on the council’s Consultation Finder which details all the council’s consultation in one place on the internet: www.bristol.gov.uk/consultationfinder • Twitter • Facebook • Informed existing operators of supported transport services • Emails to equalities fora / letter to Bristol Older People’s Forum • Posters and information packs to all the council’s libraries In order to have an informed public debate about these issues, the ASK Bristol discussion site was used which gave an overview of the challenge and opportunities facing the council with these services. The site also allowed people to access detailed passenger, expenditure and subsidy information to help participants make an informed contribution to the debate. This information can be seen at: http://askbristol.wordpress.com/2011/03/02/lets-talk-about- supported-transport-services/ Access for those people NOT online For those people without internet access, paper copies of a briefing paper were sent to the council’s libraries along with a paper feedback form.
