Finally, I would like to thank my wife Michelle Elvy for the support and sacrifices that she has made in order for me to complete this thesis. This thesis is dedicated to all those who embark on journeys of discovery, no matter how big or small. 3 Abstract This thesis builds on complementary but fragmented literatures of socially inclusive sustainable mobility (SISM), participatory transport planning and social capital (cf. Sheller, 2011; Lucas, 2012; Naughton, 2014; Schwanen et al., 2015; and Vigar, 2017) by providing a nuanced understanding of the role of social capital in participatory transport planning processes (PTPP) for SISM. A multiple case study design (Yin, 2013) was used to select three English local authorities (Leeds, Leicester and Milton Keynes) following a preliminary online survey and feasibility interviews. Within those areas, nine case study processes were chosen including bus user groups, cycling groups, a disability group and an area forum. A constructivist grounded theoretical approach (Charmaz, 2014) was used to generate and triangulate data from 35 participant observations and 16 follow up interviews over an 18-month period. Original contributions to knowledge are provided by an analysis of the characteristics and role of social capital practices (Patulny, 2004); their impact on opportunities, uncertainties and constraints for SISM; and the lessons learned for effective PTPP. Social capital practices collectively generate productive and unproductive (Granovetter, 1973; Bourdieu, 1986; and Wilson, 1997) social capital cycles which are context specific and contain multi-dimensional linkages between the six categories of social capital practices identified (leadership, relationships and group dynamics, influence, skills and competences, social learning, and representation and representativeness). Social capital cycles can be thought of as investments in people (self and others) and two potential approaches emerged in this study: the provision of independent leadership and mediation, and the role of training and upskilling. Important lessons can be learned from this research about the ways in which transport planners and participants engage with each other, particularly in terms of the utilisation of knowledge and past experiences through social learning, and the skills and competences necessary for individuals to participate. 4 Table of Contents Chapter 1 Introduction and Overview

  • The Leeds Trolley Vehicle System Order Business Case Leeds NGT: Business Case Review January 2014
    Transport and TWAO Document Ref. C-1 Works Act 1992 The Leeds Trolley Vehicle System Order Business Case Leeds NGT: Business Case Review January 2014 Leeds NGT – Business Case Review Executive Summary The Leeds New Generation Transport (NGT) project will be a 14.8km trolleybus network with lines to: I Holt Park (North Line) I Stourton (South Line) The scheme includes Park & Ride sites on the North Line at Bodington and at the South Line terminus at Stourton. NGT will provide a high quality, highly segregated, rapid transit service with high capacity, greater punctuality and faster journey times than bus services. It will significantly improve the quality of public transport in Leeds and provide an attractive alternative to private car travel. NGT is being jointly promoted by the West Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive (Metro) and Leeds City Council (LCC). It will open to passengers in early 2020. On award of Programme Entry to the NGT Project, DfT committed capital funding of £173.5 million towards the investment cost of the trolleybus solution as specified in the funding approval. The Promoters will contribute further to this. This document fulfils DfT’s requirements for a Business Case submission. It sets out NGT’s: I Strategic Case I Economic Case I Financial Case I Commercial Case I Management Case The Strategic Case sets out the scheme context and includes a description of the problems and issues which NGT will help to resolve. It sets out the scheme objectives and describes how the Preferred Option was developed. The Strategic Case demonstrates that NGT will make a strong contribution to meeting national, regional and local policy objectives.

  • Report of the Director of City Development
    Agenda: Originator: Tim Parry Tel: 2476385 Report of the Director of City Development Executive Board Date: 14 October 2009 Subject: LEEDS CORE CYCLE NETWORK PROJECT Electoral Wards Af fected: Specific Implications For: All except Wetherby, Otley & Yeadon, Guiseley & Rawdon, Equality and Diversity Kippax & Methley Community Cohesion Narrowing the Gap ü Ward Members consulted (referred to in report) Eligible for Call In Not Eligible for Call In ü (Details contained in the report) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report provides an overview of proposals now being developed to implement a strategic approach to the longer term development of cycle facilities and routes within Leeds. The proposals build on a scheme submitted for Major Scheme funding to the Regional Transport Board early in 2009 which was not supported for funding. It is intended to take the project forward in phases. The Leeds Core Cycle Network which is the subject of this report will form the first phase of the project for development over the next few years as resources allow. Further work is in progress to identify extensions to this initial network capable of forming a Core Network 2 Project together with the intention to commence the early review of facilities provided within the City Centre. It is intended to progress the scheme from within the Local Transport Plan and the third Local Transport Plan from 2011 onwards, and to consider the scheme as a potential candidate for Major Scheme funding as opportunities arise. The first phase Leeds Core Cycle Network Project will provide a series of continuous safe and convenient cycle routes, primarily for commuting.

  • The Tour De France Legacy for Leeds
    Report author: Mark Allman Tel: (24) 78323 Joint Report of the Directors of City Development, Public Health and Children’s Services. Report to Executive Board Date: 25 th June 2014 Subject: Tour de France Legacy for Leeds – ‘Cycling Starts Here’ Are specific electoral Wards affected? Yes No If relevant, name(s) of Ward(s): Are there implications for equality and diversity and cohesion Yes No and integration? Is the decision eligible for Call-In? Yes No Does the report contain confidential or exempt information? Yes No If relevant, Access to Information Procedure Rule number: Appendix number: Summary of main issues 1. The “Grand Départ” of the Tour de France is nearly upon us. In July the focus of the whole cycling world will be on Leeds - with our city providing the backdrop to the world’s largest annual sporting event. This report however does not focus on cycling in Leeds on 5 th July 2014. Rather it focuses on how we can improve the experience of cycling in Leeds over the months and years that follow to create a city fit for cycling. 2. It is clear that the impact of the Tour de France on cycling in Leeds can already be seen throughout the district. The publicity associated with the Grand Départ has helped raise awareness of cycling and its associated benefits in the build up to the event over the past year particularly with regard to recreational cycling. However, it is also recognised that there is still progress to be made in delivering a sustainable increase in cycling as a commuter option.
