London and the rest of the United Kingdom. It has long been Sustrans’ desire to see the creation of In 2009, Rochford had a population of 83,100 people a new stretch of National Cycle Network (NCN) to link (representing just under 6% of the total population Stock and Southend.

A number of potential Latest travel to work data from the Essex County link routes exist from the proposed NCN135 route Council Tracker survey shows that in Rochford around which acts as a spinal route to the wider community 71% of workers travel 30 minutes or less to work of Rochford District.

Of all the routes Sustrans wishes to see created in The number of residents living in the district who are the East of England, it is fair to say that this particular aged 65 and over is expected to increase from 16,400 stretch of NCN has garnered the most interest, and people to over 27,300. This takes the proportion of this has only intensified as a new national focus on people in this age bracket from 19.7% of the districts cycling has gained momentum. population to over a quarter of the residents by 2035. The distance between some of the main areas of habitation on the route and existing and future hubs - Binding Margin - of employment is eminently suitable for regular cycle-commuting and walking. Linking Chelmsford City (which is already well connected in the National Cycle Network) with Rochford District and Southend (which is also well connected in the National Cycle Network) will also increase the opportunities for both recreational cycling and cycle tourism. There is much interest in recreational cycling locally, witnessed by Southend having its own thriving cycling club, and by the growing success of local cycle shops, whilst increased opportunities for cycle tourism fits very well with other local initiatives, such as the excellent “The Cake Escape” and “Bike Friendly Cafes” (initiatives in Southend and Essex marketing local cafes as being ‘cyclist friendly’). This report also sets out estimates for the various costs associated with the development of the link and it discusses the possibility of delivering the works in phases, to suit possible sources of funding.

    VIKING COASTAL TRAIL – USE and ECONOMIC IMPACT a Report by the Area Manager to the Thanet Joint Transportation Board on 23 March 2004

    VIKING COASTAL TRAIL – USE AND ECONOMIC IMPACT A report by the Area Manager to the Thanet Joint Transportation Board on 23 March 2004 Introduction 1 Olympic athlete Kelly Holmes MBE opened the Viking Coastal Trail, a 28-mile multi-purpose cycle route around Thanet, on Sunday 10 June 2001. Total investment so far in design, construction and marketing is about £500,000 divided roughly equally between the County and District Councils 2 The Viking Coastal Trail is listed on the County Council’s website as Kent’s “No. 1 cycle route”; it features regularly in national newspapers and the cycling press. The Viking Coastal Trail is listed on the County Council’s website as Kent’s ‘No. 1 Cycle Route’; it features regularly in national newspapers and the cycling press. The Trail website ( www.vikingcoastaltrail.co.uk ) received more than 10,000 ‘hits’ in 2003 and it is clear from observation and from anecdotal evidence that there are many more cyclists in Thanet than there were before 2001. Two separate studies have been carried out, as follows: • Babtie – use of the Trail, with data from automatic bicycle counters at Ramsgate and Westgate • Canterbury Christ Church University College – economic impact, with data from interviews with cyclists using the Trail and a survey of businesses along it. 3 The main findings from these studies are discussed in more detail in the following paragraphs. Use of the Trail 4 Automatic bicycle counters – electro-magnetic devices that continuously count bicycles passing over them – were installed at Ramsgate and Westgate in June 2001. There are limitations on where the equipment can be placed, and the two locations are not necessarily the busiest on the Viking Coastal Trail, but the counters have been counting for 24 hours a day 365 days a year and a great deal of data is now available.

    South Essex Surface Water Option Scoring Matrix

    SOUTH ESSEX SURFACE WATER OPTION SCORING MATRIX Stage 1 - Identify Potential Measures Critical Drainage Area ID: CAS 1 South Benfleet • Surface water tends to flow from the northwest to the southwest of the CDA, towards Benfleet Marsh where the surface water flood depths are greatest. There is one PSWFH area within the CDA. There is a extensive network of drainage ditches that will convey surface water runoff across the catchment. The steep topography to the Description: east of the CDA generates the relative high flow velocities and flood hazards. • A large proportion of the PSWFH coincides with the Benfleet Hall Sewer tidal and fluvial flood zones 2 and 3. • Surface water ponds within the South Benfleet storage area. Flood Risk Surface Water, Ordinary Watercourse and Sewer Categorisation: 639 buildings of which 542 are residential properties >0.1m Property Count: 39 buildings of which 25 are residential properties >0.3m 6 buildings of which 2 are residential properties >0.5m • South Benfleet Foundation School, Jotmans Hall School, The Appleton School, Critical Kents School, Holy Family Catholic School. • 5 Pumping Stations Infrastructure: • Police Station • Nursing Home • Flood records have been recorded at Clifton Way, Grove Road and Avondale Road. The latter two flood locations are in proximity to a drainage ditch. Validation: • Sewer flooding records are at Fernlea Road, Greenwood Avenue and at the junction between Vicarage Hill and High Road. Pluvial modelling indicates that surface water flows are generated from Thundersley Glen (to the northeast of CDA) and Hill Top Farm (to the southeast of the CDA). Surface water from these areas flows towards the Benfleet Hall Sewer which then PSWFH: converges with a tributary of the Benfleet Brook.

In partnership with Sustrans, Local Authorities and other organisations all over the UK are developing the National Cycle Network which we believe will bring a whole range of benefits to many disabled people. This document addresses issues Smedley Toby relating to its use by disabled people. Traffic free routes benefit walkers and cyclists of all abilities and wheelchair users.
