Greater Anglia Continues Transformation of the Railway with £1 Million for Station Upgrades Greater Anglia continues transformation of the railway with £1 million for station upgrades October 8, 2019 Rail station car parks and platforms across East Anglia have been upgraded. Greater Anglia has invested over £1 million this year in keeping station car parks, approach roads, pedestrian crossings, bus lanes and platform surfaces in good condition. The work – at 53 stations – has included filling potholes, levelling surfaces, relaying tarmac, re-lining and marking car parks, refurbishing platforms and platform edging stones, putting up fences and erecting anti- vandal measures. The additional investment comes as the train operator continues its transformation of the railway in East Anglia, which will see £60 million spent on stations during the course of its franchise and £1.4 billion spent on introducing a brand new fleet of trains across the network. Greater Anglia’s Asset Management Director, Simone Bailey, commented: “Revenue from our car parks goes back into improving and upgrading our station infrastructure, car parks and facilities to ensure that our customers have a safe and pleasant experience when travelling with us.” These works are the latest in a series of car parking improvements as the train operator continues its transformation of the railway in East Anglia, which will see £60 million spent on stations during the course of its franchise and £1.4 billion spent on introducing a brand-new fleet of trains across the network. Recent work has seen Shenfield station car park significantly extended and extensions progressing at Manningtree and Bury St Edmunds. Automatic Number Plate Recognition and easier ways to pay have been introduced at 20 stations, and improvements to surfaces, lighting and CCTV at station car parks across the network. Stations to have benefited this year include Althorne, Audley End, Battlesbridge, Billericay, Bishops Stortford, Braintree, Brandon, Brundall, Burnham on Crouch, Cambridge, Cambridge North, Cantley, Chappel and Wakes Colne, Cheshunt, Colchester, Colchester Town, Derby Road, Diss, Dovercourt, Dullingham, Frinton, Great Chesterford, Haddiscoe, Harwich International, Harlow Mill, Harlow Town, Hockley, Ipswich, Kelvedon, Kennet, Lowestoft, Manea, March, North Fambridge, Norwich, Oulton Broad North, Prittlewell, Rayleigh, Rochford, Salhouse, Shenfield, South Woodham Ferrers, Spooner Row, St Margarets, Sudbury, Thorpe Le Soken, Thurston, Waltham Cross, Weeley, Whittlesford Parkway, Wickham Market, Witham and Worstead..

Full details in respect of how the Council has accorded with the Duty to Cooperate, including the key organisations it has engaged with, is set out in the Duty to Cooperate Compliance Statement August 2018 (HSD14), that was submitted with the Harlow Local Development Plan (HLDP) in October 2018. 1.1 Duty to Co-operate: 2) The Localism Act 2011 placed a duty on Councils to co‐operate on strategic planning matters that cross administrative boundaries. The Government considered that strategic policy‐making authorities should collaborate to identify the relevant strategic matters which they need to address in their plans. As a former new town, with tight administrative boundaries, Harlow Council has, over the years worked collaboratively with a range of other bodies on strategic planning and related matters affecting the M11 corridor and west Essex and east Hertfordshire. This dates back to when Regional Spatial Planning Strategies provided an overarching strategic plan making framework for the wider area. 3) Specific bodies the Council has co‐operated with in the production of the Harlow Local Development Plan include the following: Neighbouring Local Planning and highway authorities, including East Hertfordshire, Epping Forest
