    Greenwich Waterfront Transit

    Greenwich Waterfront Transit Summary Report This report has been produced by TfL Integration Further copies may be obtained from: Tf L Integration, Windsor House, 42–50 Victoria Street, London SW1H 0TL Telephone 020 7941 4094 July 2001 GREENWICH WATERFRONT TRANSIT • SUMMARY REPORT Foreword In 1997, following a series of strategic studies into the potential for intermediate modes in different parts of outer London, London Transport (LT) commenced a detailed assessment under the title “Greenwich Waterfront Transit” of a potential scheme along the south bank of the Thames between Greenwich Town Centre and Thamesmead then on to Abbey Wood. In July 2000, LT’s planning functions were incorporated into Transport for London (TfL). A major factor in deciding to carry out a detailed feasibility study for Waterfront Transit has been the commitment shown by Greenwich and Bexley Councils to assist in the development of the project and their willingness to consider the principle of road space re-allocation in favour of public transport. This support, as well as that of other bodies such as SELTRANS, Greenwich Development Agency,Woolwich Development Agency and the Thames Gateway London Partnership, is acknowledged by TfL. The ongoing support of these bodies will be crucial if the proposals are to proceed. A major objective of this exercise has been to identify the traffic management measures required to achieve segregation and high priority over other traffic to encourage modal shift towards public transport, particularly from the private car. It is TfL’s view,supported by the studies undertaken, that the securing of this segregation and priority would be critical in determining the success of Waterfront Transit.

  • UK Office July 2020 TDC Report Prepared By: Venessa Alexander UK Director

    UK Office July 2020 TDC Report Prepared By: Venessa Alexander UK Director

    UK Office July 2020 TDC Report Prepared by: Venessa Alexander UK Director Tour Operators Trailfinders – We spoke with Rachel Webb, Destination Manager for Florida at Trailfinders and were advised that the Trailfinders Product team and other non-customer facing departments continue to work from home. But I'm pleased to say that, in a step towards normality, their travel centres in England, Wales and Ireland have re-opened their doors to their clients again, with all the necessary precautions in place, and their 3 travel centres in Scotland were set to re-open again at the beginning of July. They have now taken the decision to cancel all US departures up to 1 Aug 20 and Rachel suspects more will be cancelled beyond this. The company strategy very much remains to encourage their clients to re-book rather than cancel and as they get more product on sale, they are seeing more success. They continue to be able to book flights out of range. However, there are still gaps in their programme if their contact has been furloughed so they are having trouble securing a contract. Their receptive partners are also facing similar difficulties securing rates and then having the resources available to load. While they’ve seen a lot of interest in Florida as a whole, much of the business is being driven to Orlando where much product is on sale to the end of 2021 or, in some cases, into 2022. Currently, there's not the same amount of product on sale as usual in St Pete/Clearwater so the numbers booking are much smaller.

    DRAFT NEW LONDON PLAN – EXAMINATION IN PUBLIC Statement on Matter M61 Respondent Number 1684 Organisation London Forum of Amenity and Civic Societies Contact name Peter Eversden Email [email protected] Telephone 07757667232 Dated 20 January 2019 Visitor Infrastructure M61. Is Policy E10 justified and consistent with national policy and would it be effective in ensuring that the need for accommodation and other infrastructure for visitors can be met in appropriate locations? In particular: a) Is development of accommodation and other visitor infrastructure a matter of strategic importance to London, or a detailed matter that would be more appropriately dealt with through local plans or neighbourhood plans? b) Would Policy E10D support the “strategic functions” of the CAZ (paragraph 2.4.4) and “locally orientated uses” in the CAZ (paragraph 2.4.5)? Policy E10 is justified and is consistent with national policy and Policy E8 for sector growth opportunities points in paragraph 6.8.3 to the Mayor’s Economic Development Strategy where tourism “gives London an international profile - attracting people from across the world - and showcases London as a diverse and open city”. Also, Policy SD6 G proposes that “Tourist infrastructure, attractions and hotels in town centre locations, especially in outer London, should be enhanced and promoted”. That is repeated for Policy SD10 in paragraph 6.10.3. That aspiration is clear, but it will depend upon the policies and achievements of boroughs in improving the attraction and facilities of their cultural and historic assets, the quality of accommodation away from Zone 1 and 2, the interests of visitors and the way in which the web site ‘visitlondon.com’ promotes more remote attractions.
