  • Rail Strategy 2006-2011 and Beyond Now We’Removing Informing, Engaging and Inspiring Foreword Essex Rail Strategy – 2006-2011 and Beyond
    Essex Rail Strategy 2006-2011 and Beyond now we’removing informing, engaging and inspiring Foreword Essex Rail Strategy – 2006-2011 and Beyond ‘I cannot think of a higher priority for the County Council than for it to strive to achieve a first class highways and transportation system for all who live in, work in or visit the county of Essex. The challenges in front of us are enormous. Over 130,000 new homes are being proposed for Essex and its borders with surrounding authorities, the travel needs of which will have a direct impact on the transport network in Essex. All aspects of passenger transport will play a key role in delivering this vision. The County Council has therefore produced three daughter strategies to support the Local Transport Plan, focusing on how passenger transport will contribute towards a fully integrated transport network. The Road Passenger Transport, Bus Information and Rail Strategies outline the ways in which we intend to improve the lives of Essex people by addressing traffic growth, road congestion and improving public transport. They contain measures aimed at improving options for travel and access to services to develop a more effective transport network. To produce the strategies the County Council has consulted widely at regional, district and parish level, with key service providers, a wide range of user groups and the general public so that collectively they represent a tangible commitment by Essex County Council to make our County a better place to live and work and to support a decent public transport network. I am committed to delivering a transport system that meets the challenges we face in Essex and look forward to working in partnership with stakeholders to bring about the transformation we now need.’ Councillor Rodney L.

    Appendix Anglia Level Crossing Reduction Strategy - Preferred Options Colchester Borough Council - detailed comments on Network Rail’s proposals The Main Line – London to Norwich • E25 Church 2 Copford/Marks Tey –no objection to closure The crossing is currently closed. The footpath which serves it has already been severed by the construction of the A12. An alternative route is already in place, and an additional route linking the footpath via Turkey Cock Lane is proposed. • E23 Long Green Marks Tey – no objection to closure The crossing has been replaced recently with a bridge. However we note that the design of the bridge used here is very functional and its form is very intrusive on the local environment. It is suggested that Network Rail seek an improved design for future structures used elsewhere. • E24 Church 1 Marks Tey – no objection to closure The crossing closed in 1989. The alternative route is via the new bridge 300m to the west. Sunshine Coast Line – Colchester to Clacton branch line • E 41 Paget Road – CBC does not object but seeks improvements to the alternative pedestrian routes. This crossing is used by a large number of local residents of Wivenhoe (approximately 220 a day). The alternative to the Paget Road crossing is Anglesea Road and High Street bridges approximately 90m and 180m east and west of the current crossing point. Anglesea Road is an unmade and unadopted road and Queens Road has an incline leading to Anglesea Road, making it difficult for less able people to negotiate. The alternative crossing point is the High Street bridge.

  • Ipswich Borough Council Response to Boundary Committee Questions
    Ipswich Borough Council Response to Boundary Committee Questions OVERARCHING QUESTIONS: 1. Why would your proposed model best address the social and economic challenges of the Suffolk county area? In particular, please consider the following issues: • The social and economic challenges of the Ipswich urban area • Neighbourhood arrangements in Ipswich • The specific challenges faced by Felixstowe and in particular Lowestoft • Neighbourhood arrangements in Felixstowe and Lowestoft • The challenges of coastal erosion and flooding in the coastal areas of the county Our submission argues that our proposed model best serves the different economic sub-regions in Suffolk and the differing needs and challenges of the urban, rural and coastal parts of the county. We believe this creates 3 or 4 authorities based upon natural communities. We have outlined in Sections 2 and 3 of our submission the social and economic challenges faced in the urban Ipswich area and consider that having one unitary council within the model that has a strong urban Ipswich focus is the best way of providing leadership, local empowerment and tailored services to successfully address those challenges. We have put forward specific proposals in Section 6 of our submission for neighbourhood arrangements that build on IBC's current model of 5 Area Forums and Area Committees with aligned Safer Neighbourhood Teams underpinned by a multi-agency steering group. We intend to continue with the successful practices of area profiling and the identification of and response to local needs and issues through hot-spotting. Felixstowe and Lowestoft share the social and environmental issues of coastal towns. Economically, Lowestoft is a regeneration area whereas Felixstowe is dominated by the port which is set to grow by some 50%.

It monitors the period from 1st April 2006 to 31st March 2007. 1.2 A key objective of the new planning system is that local development documents will be ‘spatial’ rather than simply land-use plans. They will deliver sustainable development objectives, consider the needs of communities and key spatial drivers of change, facilitate partnership and focus upon implementation. 1.3 The evidence base upon which LDDs are based, requires the review of the following matters, which are set out in the monitoring report: i.
