Executive summary 1.1 Context Highways England’s Project Control Framework sets out the methodology for delivery of a major highways scheme. The process is split into 8 stages, of which this scheme is currently in Stage 2, as follows: • Stage 0 (strategy, shaping and prioritisation) – problem definition, scheme requirements and strategic business case; • Stage 1 (option identification) – option identification and sifting out of options that are likely to perform less well compared to others; • Stage 2 (option selection) – detailed option assessment and selection of the Preferred Option, including detailed public consultation of the options; • Stage 3 (preliminary design) – scheme development including design of the Preferred Option in sufficient detail to produce draft orders and preparation of the Environmental Assessment; • Stage 4 (statutory procedures and powers) – gaining authority to construct the scheme through the normal statutory processes as laid down in legislation; • Stage 5 (construction preparation) – procurement of the construction contractor and detailed design of the scheme; • Stage 6 (construction) – construction of the scheme; • Stage 7 (handover and close-out) – project close out. The development of improvements to the A428 Black Cat to Caxton Gibbet were announced as part of the Government’s Road Investment Strategy 1 (RIS1). 1.2 Report purpose The purpose of this report is to provide a summary of the public consultation held from 6 March to 23 April 2017 and the responses gathered during the process. The report presents how the public were informed of the public consultation events, how the options identified were presented, the responses received from members of the public as well as statutory stakeholders and other bodies and consideration of the consultation responses. In addition to factors such as value for money, constructability, safety and meeting the scheme’s objectives, these responses assist in identifying the preferred option as well as design requirements as the scheme approaches statutory consultation and application for development consent. 1.3 2017 Consultation options The flow chart below shows the process used to get to the 4 options presented at consultation in 2017 (see section 2.2). Page 4 of 39 A428 Report on public consultation Create a long list Identify issues of options to Select options for Options Shortlist options and objectives achieve consultation consultation objectives 1.3.1 Orange Route The Orange Route would upgrade Black Cat roundabout to improve connections between the A1, A421 and the new A428 and will improve the junction at Caxton Gibbet connecting the existing A428 and the A1198. This option is 11.7km in length and runs along parallel to the North of the existing A428, creating a new junction at Cambridge road to link to the existing A428 and Cambridge Road/B1428. 1.3.2 Purple Route The purple route, one of the two southerly route options, would upgrade Black Cat roundabout to improve connections between the A1, A421 and the new A428 and will improve the junction at Caxton Gibbet connecting the existing A428 and the A1198. This option is 11.4km in length and runs to the North of Abbotsley. 1.3.3 Pink Route The Pink route, one of the two southerly route options, would upgrade Black Cat roundabout to improve connections between the A1, A421 and the new A428 and will improve the junction at Caxton Gibbet connecting the existing A428 and the A1198. This option is 11.4km in length and runs to the South of Abbotsley. 1.3.4 Option A Option A is a three-tiered roundabout, removing the current Black Cat roundabout and the construction of two roundabouts to the west of the current roundabout would be undertaken. A new free-flow continuous link from the A421 eastbound towards the A1 northbound would be created along with slip roads to and from the A421, the A1 and the A428. With this option the A1 would become a free-flow continuous road going under the slip roads. 1.3.5 Option B Option B is a two-tiered roundabout, retaining the existing Black Cat roundabout and creates a new free-flow continuous link from the A421 eastbound towards the A1 northbound. The addition of slip roads would provide a free-flow link, bypassing the roundabout traffic moving southbound onto the A421with the A1 remaining the same. 1.3.6 Option C Option C is a three-tiered roundabout, enlarging the existing Black Cat roundabout and creates a new free-flow continuous link from the A421 eastbound towards the A1 Page 5 of 39 A428 Report on public consultation northbound. Slip roads would be built from the A421 to the A1, and the A428 and the A1 would become a continuous free-flow road under the widened Black Cat roundabout. 1.4 2017 Non-Statutory Consultation on Options The public consultation period ran from Monday 6 March 2017 to Sunday 23 April 2017, a period of 7 weeks. During this time, 7 public information events, including a landowner specific event were held in towns and villages affected by the scheme. We used a range of communication channels to reach the community. This included: • Producing brochures • Delivering brochures to centralised locations in towns and villages • Posters in key locations along the current A428 • Updates to the scheme website • Emails to stakeholders and forum attendees • A press release issued to local press In addition to the general requirements of consultation, we: • Sent letters to 28,000 households within 500m of the proposed routes • Advertised on two different local radio stations The consultation material consisted of a consultation brochure and questionnaire, exhibition boards available to view at the events, as well as the Options Assessment Report and Traffic Data Collection Report, with key documents being available on our website.

    Value for Money Integration in the Renegotiation of Public Private Partnership Road Projects By Ajibola Oladipo Fatokun A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Central Lancashire October 2018 i STUDENT DECLARATION I declare that while registered as a candidate for the research degree, I have not been a registered candidate or enrolled student for another award of the University or other academic or professional institution I declare that no material contained in the thesis has been used in any other submission for an academic award and is solely my own work Signature of Candidate: ____________________________________________________ Type of Award: ________________________ PhD _______________________ School: ______________________ Engineering ____________________ ii ABSTRACT The governments of various countries have continued to adopt Public Private Partnership (PPP) for infrastructure projects delivery due to its many advantages over the traditional procurement method. However, concerns have been raised by stakeholders about the viability of PPP to deliver Value for Money (VfM), especially for the client. These discussions have generated debates and arguments in policy and advisory documents within the last decade mainly in the renegotiation of PPP water and transport projects and their VfM implications. Poor or non-achievement of VfM in PPP contracts renegotiation has led to this study in PPP road projects with the overall aim of integrating VfM considerations into the renegotiation process of PPP road projects. Mixed methodology research approach is used to achieve the objectives set for the study. Interviews and questionnaires of professionals involved in Design-Build-Finance-Operate (DBFO) road projects in the UK are used in the study.

Excluding the airfield itself, there are six archaeological sites within the PDS – two ‘cropmark’ sites, two sites on which detectorists have found Roman coins and metalwork, a general reference to surviving fragments of a once more extensive medieval strip field system, and an approximate position of Roman burials (including a stone coffin). There is also a listed building within the application site (Bourn Grange). However, this will be unaffected by the proposed development.

  • The Great British Transport Competition 2 Foreword
    THE GREAT BRITISH TRANSPORT COMPETITION 2 FOREWORD The case for scrapping High Speed 2 (HS2) gets stronger by the day. Increasingly, people from across the political spectrum are waking up to the fundamental issues which have plagued this project. Whether it be the spiralling costs, environmental damage, consistent mismanagement or overwhelming unpopularity of the project, the tide is turning against HS2. With the latest evidence suggesting that costs could almost double, taxpayers are demanding more for their money. Even on current estimates, scrapping HS2 would free up at least £50 billion to improve transport links up and down the country. But were this to happen, what should replace it? With this question in mind, we joined the TaxPayers’ Alliance in launching The Great British Transport Competition in September 2018, to find popular alternatives to HS2. We asked all interested parties from across the United Kingdom to submit ideas for transport infrastructure projects. As the judges for this competition - including qualified surveyors, engineers, accountants, politicians and transport industry experts - we have been lucky to receive and assess so many fantastic entries from all around the country. The judging process began in early January and was concluded by early March. After many hours of detailed deliberation and discussion, 28 winning entries were chosen and the sum total of their construction costs came to £45.1 billion. We were incredibly impressed by the high standard and variety of the entries we received. What particularly stood out was that many of the entries required only relatively small sums of money to achieve vast benefits for local communities.

We have previously undertaken the earlier rounds of Review and Assessment of local air quality management and not needed to designate any part of its area as an Air Quality Management Area as none of the objectives have been exceeded where relevant public exposure is present. This report concerns the 2016 Air Quality Progress Report and has re-examined pollution sources in the area in accordance with Defra LAQM guidance (released February 2009). The data period covered is 1st January 2015 – 31st December 2015. Air quality in Welwyn Hatfield Measured air quality within the borough is currently below the set objectives at all except one of the monitored sites. The Council has decided not to undertake a detailed assessment or declare an air quality action area at this stage. We feel that we need to increase levels of monitoring in the area where the objective was breached.
