Adoption of a joint for a number of agencies including those that LTP will not be an easy process – the work can be delivered by the Unitary Authorities and programme to prepare a new joint Plan is large it will help to identify the major schemes to be and the constitutions of the four authorities promoted in the five-year LTP in this document. require the Plan to be adopted individually by meetings of the full Councils of each authority. Accordingly, any assistance from GOSW in developing the joint Plan would be very welcome, particularly in relation to the identification of strategic sub-regional transport priorities. The councils are confident that the joint LTP will be beneficial to the sub-region by giving a clear focus to co-ordinated transport investment needs and in obtaining a greater share of resources available for transport investment. Further close working between the four Unitary Authorities in this area has been carried out over the past few months as part of an exercise for the Department for Transport on shared transport priorities for the city region. The purpose of this exercise was to assist the DfT in making the case within government for the benefits of transport investment in city regions, as part of the government’s Comprehensive Spending Review. It has, however, also served to convince the authorities that we can work well together and that there are shared benefits in preparing a Joint LTP.

It organises an annual conference in Bristol involving a unique mix of both transport planning and environmental health professionals, and this year for the first time, the conference was organised in conjunction with PTRC. This arrangement is likely to continue in the future.

The word “accident” here includes road accident casualty as well as accidents in the home. Avonsafe recognises that children up to age 15 years from unskilled families are five times more likely to die from accidental injury than those from professional families. One of its aims is to seek to address inequalities in health and promote access to accident prevention for all sectors of the community. Bristol City Council is a partner in this alliance which meets regularly to discuss these issues and identify remedial action. Bristol City Council is working with all these partners to bring about road safety improvements amongst other outcomes. Various traffic schemes have been able to be realised as a result of the funding possibilities of working with these partners. For instance a scheme was implemented at Lower Ashley Road last year through the St. Agnes and St Werburgh’s Regeneration area funding. The scheme involved improvements for cyclists and pedestrians. The Council will build upon this body of work in the context of the Casualty Reduction Public Service Agreement (PSA). The Road Safety Group will be developing links with the newly formed Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership known as ‘Safer Bristol’.

4. LTP Spending Programme 4.1 2003/04 Programme This section of the Progress Report sets out details on the LTP spending programme, covering actual expenditure in the 2003/04 financial year, and future programmes for the remaining two years of the five year plan period. As described in section 3 of this report, the investment programme of the plan is targeted at achieving both local and national objectives, incorporating the shared priorities for transport agreed between local and national government. In support of this, a detailed report on all transport capital expenditure in 2003/04, and programmed expenditure in 2004/05, is included in the implementation table in Appendix B of the APR and covers investment funded through all sources, not only LTP funding. This provides details of the local transport investment carried out through the Plan, and shows how this investment supports the shared priorities of reducing congestion, improving air quality, improving road safety and increasing accessibility. The summary expenditure for 2003/04 shown in this section should be viewed Table 4.1 also shows that the core LTP funding in conjunction with the outputs listed in section allocation for 2003/04 was augmented by 2 and Appendix D and the broad impacts these funding from many other areas, underlining the have had on the objectives and targets detailed Council’s commitment to progressing the Local in section 3. However some expenditure Transport Plan. In addition, the LTP settlement incurred in 2003/04 is preparatory expenditure for 2003/04 was actually some £705,000 higher for schemes to be completed in 2004/05 so that than the indicative amount provisionally this will not yet be directly reflected in the allocated. Though it was not explicitly stated in outputs detailed in this progress report. the settlement letter how much of the additional funding was a reward for good Table 4.1 describes the sources of funding for performance, this reflected the fact that the the investment programme of the plan, assessment of Bristol’s transport performance highlighting the way in which transport capital was in the highest category (“well above expenditure was resourced in 2003/04. The average”). As described in Appendix D of this broad programme covers the many areas of Progress Report, the council was able to use this capital investment aimed at securing the desired additional funding to enhance the overall improvements in local transport. Indicative transport capital programme for 2003/04 in line levels of LTP funding are given for future years; with ambitious investment programme set out however, the amount and sources of other areas in the LTP. The end result of this was that greater of transport capital funding are yet to be resources could be utilised for investment in the determined in many cases. The financial year Showcase Bus Route than was originally 2006/07 sees the start of the next five year LTP envisaged. Figure 4.1 and Table 4.2 summarise period and the proposed investment programme how the local transport plan funds were for this is currently being formulated as part of allocated and spent by comparing programmed the work in developing a joint Local Transport with actual outturn expenditure.

Divergences from planned programme. As has been the case for each year of the plan so far, the council has fully utilised the capital resources received from government through the LTP settlement. As shown in Figure 4.1 actual expenditure in 2003/04 was broadly in line with what was programmed across the major areas of the LTP funded capital programme. The settlement received for 2003/04 amounted to £10.154million. Actual outturn expenditure on LTP funded projects amounted to £10.539 million, therefore more than utilising the full 2003/04 LTP allocation for integrated transport and maintenance. The implementation table in Appendix D provides details on progress in 2003/04 on all the specific measures and project areas of the capital programme. However, Table 4.2 shows a summary of overall expenditure across the broad areas of the programme. In order to maximise the implementation of the plan and fully utilise resources within the financial year, the programme has needed to be altered somewhat from originally planned to provide for areas that are progressing more rapidly compared with those experiencing some delays in delivery. Outturn expenditure on particular areas which have varied by more than 25% in financial terms are highlighted and described later in this section.

The council has in the quality to meet government and European past made two successful bids for guidelines. This programme of measures is over supplementary funding to support European and above the broad range of measures set out Commission funding for the VIVALDI project. in the LTP, which on their own are insufficient to This has secured some £525,000 additional EC meet the air quality targets. Government advice funding for a variety of transport initiatives to in previous years has been that funding for improve the quality of life in Bristol. The council these areas could be sought through was extremely disappointed that its bid last year supplementary bids. Advice the year seems less for continued funding in 2004/05 was not encouraging, and this has been clarified with accepted, particularly when there had been DEFRA and DfT. Notwithstanding this, given the signs that it had found favour. few alternative sources of funding available to the council, a supplementary bid to enable the Given the huge benefits of attracting European implementation of the first year of the Air funding to this project, which is fully supportive Quality Action Plan is herewith submitted. The of the objectives of the LTP, the council chose to bid is for £1.225 million for 2005/06. allocate £500,000 from its Integrated Transport allocation for 2004/05, which has left other Why This Scheme is Needed budgets somewhat stretched this year. For Air pollution in over a quarter of the 2005/06 the VIVALDI project ends early in the geographical area of Bristol is predicted to fail to financial year, and much of the final phase on meet the government’s health-based air quality the project will be focused on reporting rather targets for 2005.

The majority of pollution in project for which funding has been awarded in these areas comes from road traffic. the past, given the disappointing non acceptance for funding of VIVALDI in 2004/05 Local authorities are required under the 1995 and the advice on the limitations of Environment Act to produce an Air Quality supplementary funding for 2005/06, the council Action Plan (AQAP) to address poor air quality in has reluctantly decided that the resources areas where AQMAs have been declared. The needed to prepare a supplementary bid would Bristol AQAP (sent separately to this APR) was be better utilised in delivering elements of the approved by the Council and submitted to existing project. DEFRA in April 2004. It contains a comprehensive package of measures aimed at reducing air pollution and improving health. The vast majority of pollution comes from road traffic, therefore the AQAP focuses predominately on transport measures. The AQAP aims to achieve the 40% reduction in pollution necessary to meet the LTP and 10 year transport plan targets for air quality, the statutory obligations under the National Air Quality Strategy, as well as contributing to a broader range of transport and environmental objectives. Many of the actions in the LTP are contributing to improved air quality, but not quickly enough to meet the government’s targets. The AQAP identifies 27 measures that will ‘top up’ the LTP to ensure a more rapid improvement in air

The then DETR Guidelines on road traffic (up to 97% in the central AQMA), producing AQAPs and the necessary supporting consequently the main focus of the AQAP is on technical work were not published in time to reducing emissions from transport. The polices allow the inclusion of the AQAP in the LTP. in the LTP will already go some way to reducing This situation was acknowledged in the LTP emissions, although not quickly enough to meet guidance which stated that “Where review and the government’s targets. The AQAP is assessment of air quality is not yet complete …. essentially a package of measures which ‘top up‘ [the] LTP may need to be amended to the LTP and these are fully integrated with the incorporate any necessary measures”.

Although the lengthy period of technical work Although guidance on the second round of LTPs and consultation together with revised DEFRA is currently still awaited, indications are that the guidance has resulted in the submission of the AQAP is likely to be fully integrated with next AQAP and this supplementary bid somewhat LTP.

It will also contribute directly to two of assessment of air quality in Bristol (Stage 3 and the key targets in the 10-year Transport Plan: Stage 4 Air Quality Review and Assessment). This I to improve air quality by meeting our process takes in to account existing policies, National Air Quality Strategy targets for including the package of measures identified in carbon monoxide, lead, nitrogen dioxide, the LTP. The AQAP, therefore, identifies what particles, sulphur dioxide, benzene and 1-3 transport measures are required above and butadiene beyond those in the LTP. Figure 6 of the AQAP I illustrates the do-minimum scenario (predicted to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by impact of LTP measures with no AQAP). 12.5% from 1990 levels, and move towards a 20% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions The current allocation of resources contains a by 2010 modest sum for specific actions to reduce air pollution.

Any further re-allocation of in England below current levels by 2010 existing allocations would undermine the ability by promoting integrated transport to deliver the package of LTP measures, which solutions and investing in public form the key foundation of the AQAP. This in transport and the road network turn would reduce the effectiveness of the LTP in reducing levels of air pollution and the ability to H to increase rail use in Great Britain meet other key objectives of the LTP and 10-year (measured in passenger kilometres) from transport plan 2000 levels by 50% by 2010, with investment in infrastructure and capacity,

Why it is not possible to meet the bid from the additional funding of £1 million per year to authorities own resources, or from other resource the AQAP would inevitably lead to resources, cutting back of essential work in other service The council has been successful in supporting areas of the council. some elements of the AQAP though other funding sources. Much of the technical work What the impact would be if it were not met. associated with modelling and monitoring the If this supplementary bid is not funded then it AQAP has been funded from other sources and a will not be possible to implement the further £72,000 of Supported Capital comprehensive package of measures outlined in Expenditure (SCE) money has recently been the AQAP and achievement of the National Air granted for the technical work.

However, following the to school in them will continue to be exposed to unsuccessful supplementary bid for 2003/04 the potentially harmful levels of air pollution. It is funding of additional measures will no longer be estimated that the deaths of more than 400 possible through this project. people per year in Bristol are brought forward or There may be scope for funding some element caused by air pollution. Many thousands more of the plan through other sources, e.g. national will continue to suffer from acute or chronic assistance for roadside testing and the Energy effects that will reduce their quality of life. Savings Trust (EST) Clean Up grants. However, the recent cut in EST grants has greatly increased the cost of retrofitting to the Council and has resulted in a substantial scaling-back of projects to clean up buses in the city. There is scope for securing limited additional funds for the AQAP through the planning system. However this can only be used to mitigate the deterioration in air quality caused by these new developments. The council will continue to explore other revenue sources, but these are currently insufficient to fund the AQAP; therefore additional resources are being sought through this LTP supplementary bid.

Why it cannot be met from the flexibility provided by the SCP In a similar fashion to the to the LTP, other areas of council services also set out their medium term programmes in investment and asset management plans. These currently fully utilise the council’s anticipated allocations through the single capital pot (SCP). Although the flexibility of the SCP is used to manage capital spend across the different service areas of the council,

FINANCE FORMS This appendix includes copies of the completed finance forms LTP-F1 to F4. As set out in the technical guidance to the finance forms, expenditure shown in the 2002/03 and 2003/04 financial years is on a cash basis, which only includes transactions wholly completed in one financial year. Therefore the forms differ from scheme expenditure outlined in Section 4 of the Annual Progress Report and in the Implementation Table in Appendix D. These are based on the council ’s own accounting system. The forms have been completed to show expenditure against current and anticipated LTP allocations. Individual yearly totals do not include the significant contributions which the council uses to enhance the transport capital investment programme, using funds from the council’s own resources, from specific bids for funds outside of the LTP process, from the EC and from development. As requested in the technical guidance, outline planning figures are included for the 2006/07 and 2007/08 financial years which are in the next LTP five-year period. However, levels of funding and the full programme of works for these years are not available. The next LTP to be submitted in July 2005, which will be a joint plan between the four unitary authorities of the Bristol sub-region, will set the actual programmes over the five-year period, so the figures entered for 2006/07 and 2007/08 do not constitute a bid nor a full programme. A supplementary bid is made for funding to progress measures as part of Bristol’s Air Quality Action Plan, and this is included in the 2005/06 expenditure listed in the finance forms. LTP-F4, together with the other finance forms, has been completed to show schemes and projects funded from the LTP block allocations. As stated above, the council ’s transport capital investment programme is enhanced with other sources of funding, therefore LTP-F4 does not show all the schemes and projects included in the LTP implementation programme. The Implementation Table in Appendix D provides a more comprehensive picture of the overall programme of schemes, including all areas of expenditure for the current and previous year in support of the Council’s transport strategy.
