While this is a corruption of the truth, many rail passengers in the (Radio Times) West Midlands are asking whether we really are heading towards a winter of discontent to follow what has been an autumn of discontent. West Midlands Railway has admitted that problems exist and has pointed to “an over-ambitious timetable enhancement in May 2019”. This is certainly true on the Chase Line between Walsall and Rugeley Trent Valley where the extension of services to London Euston has resulted in regular late running and an unacceptable level of cancellations north of Walsall.

  • Inventing Our Future Collective Action for a Sustainable Economy
    Inventing our future Collective action for a sustainable economy My customised regional economic strategy for the East of England 2008–2031 Where are we now? 1.1 The purpose of the The purpose of the regional economic strategy regional economic strategy Setting a vision for the East of England The East of England has been one of the fastest-growing regional economies in the UK. It benefits from a number of major assets – such as globally renowned research departments and institutes, leading companies in growing markets, major new investment to expand international ports and a strong relationship with London, the world’s leading financial centre. It also has many inspirational places including some of the UK’s finest natural habitats and over a quarter of England’s historic market towns. The next few years are likely to be a period of accelerating change for our region – the pressures of globalisation will increase, we will need to respond to the effects of climate change and our region will continue to experience considerable growth. How we address these challenges and capitalise on our opportunities will contribute to the region’s wider sustainable development objectives and affect the quality of life of the region’s population. This regional economic strategy (RES) sets out a vision, bold targets and priorities so that we can drive forward as a globally competitive region. In short, the strategy shows where we want to go and how we will get there. The strategy is owned by the region, and will be delivered through the collective work of political, business and community leaders and institutions.

  • Great Ideas for Discovering the Best of the Broads by Cycle
    Great ideas for discovering the best of the Broads by cycle • On-road cycling routes using quiet lanes, and traffic-free cycle ways • Tips on where to cycle, taking your bike on a train and bus, and where to stop off Use a cycle to explore the tranquil beauty and natural treasures of the wetland landscapes that make up the Broads – a unique area characterised by windmills, grazing marshes, boating scenes, vast skies, reedy waters and historic settlements. There are idyllically quiet lanes and virtually no hills. If you’re touring the Broads by boat, you can stop off for a while and hire bikes from several places by the water, and see some of the area’s many other attractions. Cycling in the Broads gets you to places public transport cannot reach, and you see much that you might otherwise miss from a car or even a boat. It’s also a healthy and environmentally friendly way of getting around. Centre: How Hill (photo: Tim Locke); left and right: cycling round the Broads (photos: Broads Authority) Contents An introduction to discovering the Broads by bike, offering several itineraries in one. It starts with details of using the Bittern Line to get you to Hoveton & Wroxham, where you can hire a bike and follow Broads Bike Trails, or cycle alongside the Bure Valley Railway; how to join up with the BroadsHopper bus from rail stations; ideas for cycling in the Ludham and Hickling area; and some highlights of Sustrans NCN Route 1 from Norwich. The Broads Bike Hire Network of seven cycle hirers is listed in the last section.

  • EFDC Air Quality Progress Report April 2013
    2013 Air Quality Progress Report for: Epping Forest District Council In fulfillment of Part IV of the Environment Act 1995 Local Air Quality Management Date (June, 2013) Epping Forest District Council Local Authority Fay Rushby Officer Department Public Health Environment & Street Scene Address Epping Forest District Council Civic Offices High Street Epping Essex CM16 4BZ Telephone 01992 564496 e-mail [email protected] Report WK/201214649 Reference number Date June 2013 LAQM Progress Report 2013 Epping Forest District Council Executive Summary Epping Forest District is an attractive, predominantly commuter area on the north eastern edge of London. The air quality in the district is reasonably good. There are two large motorways in the district; the M25 and the M11 however the main source of air pollution in the district is local road traffic with increased concentrations of vehicle emissions related polutants limited to congested high street areas and busy junctions. The District Council has completed all rounds of the review and assessment to date, which led to a number of detailed assessments for nitrogen dioxide. Air Quality Management Areas (AQMA) were declared for Epping High Street in 2010, and Bell Vue, Bell Common in 2011. The Epping High Street AQMA was declared solely on the basis of modelling information, but was revoked in 2011 on the completion of diffusion tube monitoring, which confirmed that nitrogen dioxide were below the air quality objective. All other reports judged that it was not necesarry to declare any further AQMA. This Progress Report builds on previous air quality work, and reports on 2012 monitoring data.
