This is the fourth annual review since the original Travel Plan was implemented as part of the Planning Approval for car parking provision at Arrowe Park Hospital in March 2006. The Travel Plan review details progress to date and an action plan for the coming year including a number of proposed amendments to the plan. 1.2 The report recommends that Members note the contents of the report and attachments and endorse the Travel Plan Review 2010 and the Traffic Management and Parking Policy Report. It is also recommended that in future the reporting of the Travel Plan Review is undertaken on a bi- annual basis to committee whilst reporting an update to the action plan on an annual basis to officers. 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 WUTH originally submitted a Travel Plan in support of its planning application to increase the on-site car parking provision at Arrowe Park Hospital in 2005. This eventually became an integral part of the overall scheme through a Section 106 Agreement. The original Travel Plan was developed following negotiation and coordination with WUTH, the Council’s Sustainable Transport Co-ordinator and Merseyside TravelWise who continue to provide on-going support and advice. The Plan covers both Arrowe Park Hospital and Clatterbridge Hospital and aims to reduce the levels of travel generated by the hospitals and sets out the Trust’s aspirations for reducing the use of single occupancy private cars as the mode of choice when travelling to the hospitals. 2.2 WUTH as one of the largest employers in Wirral can make a major contribution to Wirral’s commitment to develop and implement a sustainable transport strategy, and indeed to the delivery of the objectives set out in the Merseyside Local Transport Plan 2006-2011. The Travel Plan also supports other national and local polices such as encouraging healthy lifestyles and the reduction in obesity through increased exercise. Page 9 2.3 For reference, a site plan of the Arrowe Park Hospital and car parks is attached in Appendix 1 . 3.0 TRAVEL PLAN REVIEW 2010 3.1 The main aims of the review of the Travel Plan are: • To provide an update on the Travel Plan implementation • To demonstrate what has been achieved since the last review • To identify and make changes to the plan • To review future actions and target dates 3.2 WUTH commissioned Mott MacDonald to undertake a review of the Travel Plan and the associated Traffic Management and Parking Policy, this review has been undertaken in consultation with the Councils Sustainable Transport Coordinator. Copies of the Travel Plan Review 2010, Appendix 2, and Traffic Management and Parking Policy Report, Appendix 3, are attached and form the main part of this report. 3.3 In summary the review includes: § The results of a staff and patient/visitor travel survey and confirms that future surveys will be undertaken every two years. § Highlights key achievements and progress on delivery of the previous action plan. § A breakdown of the costs of delivering the travel plan and a proposal that public parking charges are increased in line with the increases in charges in other hospitals and public car parks in Wirral since 2005. It also proposes that in future parking charges are increased periodically in line with inflation or the increase in parking charges in Wirral Council car parks, subject to coin of the realm limitations.

  • The Woodchurch Controversy, 1944
    The Woodchurch Controversy, 1944 Lilian Potter During the late 1930s rapid changes were taking place in the social structure of the country, and expectations of standards in housing and health care had risen dramatically since the publication of the Tudor Walters Report in 1918. The Second World War accelerated the changes. Although improved standards of living were widely expected, both in standards of housing and in a more pleasant environment, the general public seemed to appreciate that Utopia would not emerge immediately the hostilities ceased. There was a recognition, rather, that public intervention might avoid a repetition of past mistakes, and thus an expectation that the public would have some input into decision-making about housing.1 In that, the public mood was unlike that of its counterpart after the signing of the Armistice in 1918, when euphoria overwhelmed socio-economic reality and precipitated state provision of housing for the working class.2 During the early 1940s public interest in rebuilding Britain, or rather in planning for rebuilding Britain, was officially encouraged at all levels by exhibitions and numerous publications. As well as Town planning by Thomas Sharp, the first manager of Letchworth Garden City and a past president of the Town Planning Institute, there were pamphlets and booklets issued by political parties and other interested institutions, including the Co-operative Building Society.3 Popular magazines and periodicals also spurred on a growing public 1 L.

  • Wirral Rights of Way Newsletter, January 2020
    Wirral Rights of Way Newsletter - January 2020: This newsletter provides an update on work carried out in 2019 and sets out my aspirations for 2020. The Wirral Public Rights Of Way network continues to be maintained to enhance the public’s access to the 75 miles of public rights of way, plus a further 25 miles of permissive footpaths, bridleways and off-road cycle tracks. This is in addition to the 15 miles of the Wirral Way within Wirral Country Park from West Kirby to Hooton. The overall aim of promoting and maintaining these historic public routes is to provide an accessible recreational facility, helping to improve health and wellbeing as well as connectivity to employment for Wirral residents and visitors alike, whilst also making a contribution to the area’s visitor economy. England Coastal Path: This is a substantial project to improve walking access around the coast of England. Throughout 2020, I will continue to work with Natural England to deliver the 18 mile Wirral section from Birkenhead to the Cheshire border. This new national trail of 2,700 miles around the coast of England will be the longest coastal path in the world when it is completed in the next couple of years. Following many site visits totalling 36 days from January – October I have spent much of the year surveying the route and compiling complex spreadsheets to put a cost against the several hundred new infrastructure points such as signs, posts, bridges, steps, board walks. I have also helped with the habitat assessments. It is now expected that the much delayed report laying out the proposals for the Birkenhead to the Welsh border section will be published in Spring 2020.

The majority of the foreshores around the coastline are of national and/or international importance for nature conservation and the Borough's coastal resorts and recreation facilities provide a regular destination for visitors from across Merseyside and beyond.
