Smart Network, Smarter Choices Update Smart Network, Overview Smarter Choices Smart Network, Smarter Choices is a multi-million pound programme designed to help tackle congestion, reduce carbon emissions and kick start the regional Update economy. The project started in 2012 and involves implementing a wide range of sustainable travel (cycling, walking and public transport) schemes along ten key Issue 6, November 2014 corridors in the West Midlands not only to benefit congestion, carbon emissions and the economy, but also change travel behaviour along some of the region’s busiest routes. Each corridor will see a variety of measures and/or improvements to encourage people who live, work and visit the area to travel sustainably. New funding secured for Smart Network, Smarter Choices A £6 million package of transport schemes to boost economic growth and cut carbon in Birmingham, Solihull and the Black Country has been given the green light. The money secured from the government’s Local Sustainable Transport Fund will be used to continue the Smart Network, Smarter Choices project during 2015/16. A total of £2,959,000 was awarded to the Birmingham and Solihull Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) Area, while £3,057,000 was handed to the Black Country LEP area. Funding will pay for a range of cycling, walking and other public transport initiatives designed to connect people to work, education, training and leisure. The money will be used by transport authority Centro and Birmingham, Solihull and the four Black Country councils to provide; • Free travel passes and cycling support for jobseekers. • New cycle storage facilities at railway stations. • Personalised travel support for students, parents and staff at schools. • Bespoke travel support for households and businesses. • Free adult cycle training. • Bus and HGV driver training focussed on vulnerable road users including cyclists. The initiatives will be delivered during 2015-16 and build on Centro’s £50 million, three-year Smart Network, Smarter Choices project which runs until March 2015. The project involves the creation of new cycle routes, upgrades to traffic junctions and free travel advice for residents. In the Black Country the renewed schemes aim to produce more than 6,000 new cyclists, add an extra 5.5 million public transport trips each year and cut the number of kilometres driven by car by 22.9 million a year. While projects in Birmingham and Solihull target producing more than 6,000 new cyclists and cut the number of kilometres driven by car by nearly 20 million a year. 1. Black Country State-of-the-art cycle storage facility opens in Stourbridge The latest in a new generation of state-of-the-art cycle storage facilities has been unveiled at a Black Country railway station.

  • Bus Rationalisation Appendix 1
    Technical note Project: Birmingham Bus Stop To: Matthew Till / Danny Gouveia Consolidation Subject: 6 Draft Report From: Andy Clark / Anna Little / Tim Colles Date: 21st July 2017 cc: Adrian Taylor 1. Introduction Atkins has been commissioned by National Express West Midlands to undertake a study investigating the scope for bus stops on several routes in Birmingham to be rationalised. This is in response to growing concern from National Express West Midlands and Transport for West Midlands (TfWM) regarding increasingly long and unreliable bus journeys in the West Midlands. Bus patronage is dropping sharply as congestion increases. The average speed of buses has reduced by 3% (Birmingham-wide) between 2014 and 2016 with patronage reducing by 4% in response. These delays are amplified at peak times with buses 13% slower in the morning peak and 10% slower in the evening peak. The time that passengers spend on the bus impacts the likelihood of passengers using the bus in the future. An increase of in-vehicle time of 10% will result in a 5% reduction in journeys made. Reducing in-vehicle time will have the opposite effect, with additional passengers drawn to the route. This demonstrates the importance of journey times in determining whether a passenger chooses to make a journey by bus and the sensitivity associated with changes in journey time. The increases in road congestion are a major cause of the increase journey times. To an extent, without significant infrastructure spending or a marked decrease in car usage, this is out of the direct control of the bus operators. However it is prudent to look at how services are routed to ensure that passengers are getting where they need to be expediently and without unnecessary delay.

  • Birmingham Botany Collections the Herbarium of James Eustace Bagnall
    Birmingham Museums Birmingham Botany Collections The Herbarium of James Eustace Bagnall Edited by Phil Watson and Emily Gough © Birmingham Museums Version 1.0 October 2014 Birmingham Botany Collections – Herbarium of J E Bagnall 1 Birmingham Botany Collections – Herbarium of J E Bagnall Introduction A brief biography of Bagnall (1830-1918) was given in Birmingham Botany Collections – Mosses (http://www.bmag.org.uk/uploads/fck/file/BBC%20Mosses.pdf ) and there is no need to repeat this here except to reiterate that he was Birmingham’s greatest botanist whose passion was driven by the compilation of his The Flora of Warwickshire (Gurney & Jackson, London and Cornish Brothers, Birmingham, 1891) and, subsequently, The Flora of Staffordshire which was published as a supplement to the Journal of Botany 39 (West, Newman & Co, London 1901). He presented his herbarium in its entirety to Birmingham Museum in 1913. This included 4570 specimens of mosses, 700 liverworts and 180 lichens all of which have already been published in the respective fascicles of Birmingham Botany Collections . The present fascicle covers his collection of vascular plants and contains a little over 6400 specimens. Of these he collected almost 3700 (57%) himself. The remaining 43% (just over 2750 specimens) were collected and passed on to Bagnall by a whole range of different people from across the country. Of these the most prolific was A. Ley who supplied almost 200 items. Only 135 specimens (a mere 2%) have no collector recorded for them and 72 of these are from Warwickshire, Staffordshire or Worcestershire so could well have been collected by Bagnall himself.
