O. Additional Information

O.1 Developing the Plan

The LTP has been developed thorough a series of structured workshops, consultation and discussions. These discussions have helped shape and inform the production of the Provisional Plan, set our targets, inform and assist our accessibility planning work and shape this final document.

O.1.1 Workshops and discussions

These workshops included one with our QTP, which includes transport operators – ferry, motorcycle, bus, rail, taxi and freight, transport users, including motoring groups, cycle and bus, Transport 2000, Friends of the Earth, representatives from the Chamber of Commerce, Federation of Small Businesses, Tourism and Planning. Plus a number of other workshops involving colleagues from Health, Education, IWEP, Planning, Tourism, Job Centre+ and LA21 were also staged. We used internal workshops involving officers from Engineering Services to help establish our targets, delivery and spending programmes.

O.1.2 Accessibility planning

Our accessibility planning work has also been assisted by the use of structured workshops,

to which were invited a broad range of local representatives, plus transport users, transport Additional Information operators, officers, and Elected Members. We will continue using this consultative process to develop and deliver our Accessibility Action Plans.

O.1.3 Consultation and feedback

We made every effort to make the PLTP as widely available as possible. Over 300 copies of the Plan were printed and Section A of this Plan explains how these were distributed and made available for inspection at local libraries, council offices and on the Internet.

This final Plan has been revised to take account of this process, the SEA and the important feedback from Government Office, DEFRA and others.

This Section therefore includes:

• The notes from external workshops and discussions. • Notes from internal workshops and discussions. • Notes taken following accessibility workshop. • Subsequent accessibility planning meetings. • Comments made during the PLTP consultation period. • Action taken in response to the points made in the GOSE Decision Letter. • LTP Annex C. • A map illustrating our traffic and cycle monitoring points. • Jargon buster. • Location map.
