Local Implementation Plan (LIP) for Transport, which is required by the Mayor of London to explain how the council will implement his Transport Strategy at a local level. It sets out the strategic and local transport objectives for the borough, as well as the challenges and opportunities faced in Sutton to deliver these objectives. The LIP also sets out an investment programme for the three years from 2018 to 2021 listing the transport schemes that the council intends to implement over this period, as well as outlining other schemes that the council will implement as funding permits. Sutton has a long history of promoting sustainable transport and was one of the first boroughs to publish a Sustainable Transport Strategy in 1999. This paved the way for the ground-breaking £5m Smarter Travel Sutton (STS) behavioural change project in partnership with Transport for London. The STS project, which ran for three years from 2006 to 2009, achieved great success in changing residents’ travel behaviour from the motor car towards more sustainable modes such as cycling and public transport, despite modest rail and bus provision in the borough. Going forward, with exciting proposals such as the Tramlink extension to Sutton which has the support of the Mayor of London, the regeneration of Sutton Town Centre and the rich history and culture of the borough, we want to capitalise on the excellent potential to improve air quality and public health while reducing the impact of traffic on our roads. The LIP also links to the council’s new Local Plan, adopted in February 2018, which sets out the long term policies and proposals for the future development of the borough, including significant housing growth and key transport infrastructure to support the new developments. The decision to concentrate new housing in Sutton Town Centre and key centres in the borough such as Wallington and Hackbridge gives us the best opportunities to maximise the use of sustainable transport, in particular walking, cycling and public transport. This is crucial in ensuring that car dependency is reduced and sustainable transport use is maximised, in order to mitigate the new demands on our transport networks within the next 25 years.
