2 Local Transport Planning Joint Statement - March 2006

Partnership Working

The authorities are jointly committed to working together to improve local transport throughout the growth area, both amongst themselves and with other organisations such as the Government Offices, the Regional Assemblies, the Highways Agency, bus and train operators, Sustrans and the various Local Delivery Vehicles.

Congestion Issues

The authorities are jointly committed to: • Developing a common monitoring regime for congestion across the growth area. • Identifying strategic congestion hot spots with a cross-boundary impact, and developing joint responses to deal with these sites. These sites include: o M1 Junction 13 o M1 Junction 14 o A5 / A4146 Fenny Stratford Bypass o A5 / A508 Roundabout, • Work closely with the Highways Agency to reduce congestion at junctions between the trunk and non-trunk road network.

Accessibility

The authorities are jointly committed to: • To work together to ensure cross-boundary accessibility issues are understood as part of the strategic accessibility audit process. • Where necessary, to develop joint accessibility strategies to deal with cross boundary accessibility. • Locating major new developments in such a way as to ensure accessibility for all.

Safety

The authorities are jointly committed to: • Introducing a common approach to cross-boundary route improvements. • Improving liaison between the various regional road safety organisations covering the sub-region.

3 Local Transport Planning Joint Statement - March 2006

Air Quality

The authorities are jointly committed to: • Sharing best practice in developing Air Quality Action Plans with Borough and District Councils. • Adopting a joint approach to the Highways Agency with regard to Air Quality Management Areas (AQMS) on Motorways and Trunk Roads.

Road Issues

The authorities are jointly committed to: • Supporting the transport proposals in the Milton Keynes & South Midlands Sub- Regional Strategy as a minimum requirement for the growth area. • Press for those schemes currently listed as “not under active consideration” to be given a definite programme date. • Press for a further review of the Trunk Road network within the growth area. • Develop an agreed “core road network” for the growth area, as shown on Plan 1.

Bus and Coach Issues

The authorities are jointly committed to: • Introducing schemes similar to the successful improvements to the X4 Milton Keynes – Northampton – Peterborough services such as the: o X2 Northampton to o X5 – Milton Keynes – o X15 Aylesbury to Milton Keynes o X66 Luton Dunstable to Milton Keynes o 31 Luton Dunstable to Leighton Buzzard o 61 Luton Dunstable to Aylesbury • Promoting the upgrading of as a sub-regional interchange for coach travel. • Investigating the possibility of cross-border park and ride facilities, particularly in the Milton Keynes area. • Developing a sub-regional coach network to serve the growth area, particularly to complement and fill-in gaps in the rail network.

4 Local Transport Planning Joint Statement - March 2006

Rail Issues

The authorities are jointly committed to: • Seeking improvements in the capacity for and frequency of local services on the , by building upon the infrastructure improvements that have already been introduced for long distance services. • Pressing for increased capacity on the to allow for the introduction of additional services and destinations • Supporting the development of an East – West rail service from Oxford and Aylesbury to Cambridge via Milton Keynes and Bedford. The authorities believe that this route should be re-opened to passenger traffic in full, and that this is inextricably linked to development of the growth area and the Oxford – Cambridge Arc. • Pursuing the opportunities that Community Railways may bring for the between Bedford and Bletchley. • Supporting the principle of re-opening of the Northampton – Bedford railway line.

Airport Issues

The authorities are jointly committed to: • Improving access to all airports serving the sub-region, particularly by public transport.

• Supporting the role of as the principal airport for both business and leisure use within the sub-region, in particular through promoting the delivery of airport passengers and workers by public transport. The upgrading and extension of sub-regional coach routes to the airport (in particular Jetlinks and the Virgin Express to Milton Keynes) will have a key role to play in this process.

Parking Issues

The authorities are jointly committed to: • Introducing Decriminalised Parking Enforcement regimes across the area and use the proceeds to support sustainable modes of travel. • Developing parking standards for new developments in consultation with each other.

Charging Issues

The authorities are jointly committed to: • Supporting the principle of a national road charging scheme, as proposed by the Commission for Integrated Transport, as the only effective way of developing charging outside the major conurbations.

5 Local Transport Planning Joint Statement - March 2006

Development Issues

The authorities are jointly committed to: • Working together to ensure that developers face similar requirements for new development proposals throughout the growth area. • Liasing closely on cross-border developments to ensure that the needs of all communities are considered in new developments. Travel Plans

The authorities are jointly committed to: • Working together and with the Highways Agency to share good practice. • Identifying and working with companies that are implementing travel plans which would benefit from joint authority action.

Freight

The authorities are jointly committed to: • Encouraging Heavy Goods Vehicle traffic to use the agreed core network. • Promoting the use of rail for construction-related traffic.

Implementation of the Joint Statement

The Joint Statement will be used to support joint working between the authorities throughout the LTP2 period. Regular meetings between the transport planners will provide a framework for other specialists within the authorities to work together in delivering common schemes and programmes on the ground.

2 Milton Keynes Rights Of Way Improvement Plan Rights of Way Improvement Plan

1. Introduction

1.1 The Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 introduced a duty for all local highway authorities to produce, by November 2007, a Rights of Way Improvement Plan (ROWIP). The ROWIP will consider the adequacy of existing local rights of way for all members of the community, including those with visual impairment or mobility problems, and will produce an action plan to resolve the inadequacies.

1.2 The ROWIP is required to be repeated on a ten year cycle, but will in practice be fully incorporated into the Local Transport Plan (LTP) process by 2010. For the LTP 2006/07 to 2010/11, guidance1 from the DfT requires a ROWIP progress report to be included. As required by the guidance this report:

(a) identifies the stage that we have reached in preparing our ROWIP;

(b) includes a high level statement of policy and objectives for improving the rights of way network;

(c) identifies any rights of way improvements or proposals that link to the delivery of transport objectives and shared priorities for transport, which include – accessibility, congestion, air quality, road safety and other quality of life issues.

2. Rights of way network in Milton Keynes

2.1 Milton Keynes has a total of 555km of rights of way2. Combined with the network of paths and leisure routes within Parks Trust managed parks and the cycle and pedestrian Redways network, we have important assets available for the enjoyment of everyone. Of particular importance are several long distance footpaths that cross Milton Keynes. These are described briefly in table 2.1. Table 2.1

Path name Length Status Start Ends

MK boundary walk 97km Footpath Circular Three Shires Way 57km Bridleway Tathall End, Milton Keynes Grafham Water, Swans Way 110km Bridleway Salcey Forest, Goring-on-Thames, Oxon. Northamptonshire Greensands Ridge 64km Footpath Leighton Buzzard Gamlingay, Cambridgeshire North Bucks Way 56km Footpath Great Kimble, Buckinghamshire 241km Footpath Brackley, Northamptonshire King’s Lynn, 166km Footpath Ivinghoe Beacon, Knettishall Heath, Suffolk Buckinghamshire

2.2 Within the new city are 75km of horse-riding trails and these are well used by riders from both the urban and rural areas.

1 ‘Full Guidance on Local Transport Plans, second edition’ (Department for Transport December 2004) 2 Defined as: a way where the public has a right to walk, and in some cases ride horses, bicycles, motorcycles or drive motor vehicles, which will be designated either as a footpath, a bridleway, a road used as a public path (RUPP) or a byway.

3 Milton Keynes Rights Of Way Improvement Plan

2.3 The condition of rights of way are monitored and the results recorded as the Best Value Performance Indicator BVPI 178: “The percentage of the total length of footpaths and other rights of way which were easy to use by members of the public”. In 2002/03 the result was 38%, this increased to 52% in 2003/04 and increased again to 61% in 2004/05. Measuring performance nationally against other unitary councils we ranked 40th out of 46 councils.

3. Progress of the ROWIP

3.1 Under the terms of the Countryside and Rights of Way (CROW) Act 2000, we have advertised for participants and subsequently set up a Local Access Forum (LAF). The LAF will provide independent strategic advice to the Council and other local and national organisations on improving access to the local countryside for recreation, whilst protecting wildlife, landscape and natural heritage.

3.2 The LAF, along with other consultees, will:

(a) assess the current use of the rights of way network and also why people do not or have difficulty using it;

(b) explore how we can encourage more people to use the network, in particular for recreation, as this links closely to other objectives, for example improving health; and

(c) ensure that we consider and address the needs of users who have mobility problems or a visual impairment.

3.3 Consultation will include:

(a) Parish Councils – to address access for local people and consider access from visitors and any potential problems this causes.

(b) Landowners – as the majority of rights of way are privately owned, their input is vital to improving access and encouraging people to use rights of way more through path clearance.

(c) Public displays and questionnaires – by speaking directly with local people and visitors we can quickly gain information on needs and problems. This will be backed up with questionnaires available on our website and in printed form.

(d) Stakeholder groups – these groups, for example the Ramblers’ Association assess routes in their area so are a useful source of information.

3.4 Our rights of way have already been set up on a geographical information system (GIS), which is used to record the network, list problems and plan for future works. The extensive database can also be applied to the ‘Accession’ accessibility model, which will be used in our accessibility assessments as work on the plan develops.

4 Milton Keynes Rights Of Way Improvement Plan 4. Policy and objectives

4.1 Our ROWIP policy is:

4.2 We will improve the condition and encourage greater use of our rights of way, so local people and visitors can enjoy and gain health benefits from it.

5. Rights of way improvements that link to shared priority objectives and wider quality of life issues

5.1 Table 5.1 below shows how rights of way improvements will link to objectives in the local transport plan. The list of objectives will be used as a basis for ongoing consultation with stakeholders, partners and the public. Table 5.1

6.1 The ROWIP will be developed as follows:

• assessment of the condition of rights of way;

• assessment of why people use and don’t use the network;

• consultation with partners, stakeholders and the public to agree an action plan, outcomes and targets;

• publish the ROWIP; and

• monitor and review (including recording of progress in LTP2 delivery reports).

TRANSPORT INNOVATION FUND

POSITION STATEMENT - MARCH 2006

Introduction

We are part of the Milton Keynes and South Midlands (MKSM) Sub-Regional growth area, one of four growth areas identified by the Office for the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM) to accommodate population growth in the South East. This could result in some 71,000 additional houses being built over the period from 2001 to 2031, together with the even more challenging creation of associated employment opportunities.

The level of development proposed will lead to considerable additional demands being placed on the Sub-Region’s transport network. Considerable investment in new infrastructure will be required, but the level of additional demand to be generated will still pose a challenge, particularly for accessing congested areas such as town centres. Work carried out to quantify the scale of the problem has identified that a regional modal shift as high as 20 per cent may be required alongside the infrastructure investment.

To achieve modal shift on this scale will require a step-change in the approach to investment in public transport facilities and the implementation of demand management measures. The authorities are willing to seize this challenge, and recognise that innovative solutions will be required.

The MKSM transport authorities met with the Department for Transport (DfT) in March 2006 to discuss the issues that they faced. The authorities welcome the recognition by DfT of the challenges that we jointly face, and their offer to engage directly with us in developing our thinking in this area.

MKSM Transport Innovation Fund Bid

Bedfordshire County Council, Buckinghamshire County Council, Luton Borough Council and Northamptonshire County Council, together with the NHS (MKSM Health and Social Care Project) jointly submitted a bid for TIF pump-priming funds in autumn 2005. That initial bid was unsuccessful, and the authorities plan to re-submit for the second round of funding in July 2006.

The bid was developed through the MKSM Transport and Planning Group. Although not participating in the initial bid, we are represented on the group, and the intention is for us to have ‘observer status’ in the further development work, both to protect our interests and to allow us to participate in some or more elements of the package should we wish at a future date.

The key objective of the bid was:

‘to help manage transport demand generated by the growth agenda.’

Transport Innovation Fund - LTP2 2006-07 to 2010-11 Subsidiary Objectives

Beyond this, the bid defined a number of subsidiary objectives:

• to examine the impact of alternative approaches to transport demand management on the economy of the Sub-Region and the accessibility; environment and health of people living and working within it; • To identify how transport demand management measures can promote sustainable patterns of development; and, • To raise public awareness of the transport issues that will need to be addressed in the future, including a possible national road user charging scheme.

The Sub-Region encompasses a number of medium-sized towns, some buoyant and others in need of regeneration, together with a number of strategic national trunk roads. As such it would provide a useful addition to the range of areas covered by the successful first-round congestion TIF bids, even without the additional challenges offered by the growth agenda.

The precise nature of a future scheme would need to be developed as part of the ‘pump- primed’ work. However, an essential part of any future scheme would be major improvements to public transport in the Sub-Region. Recognising the diverse nature of the Sub-Region an essential part of any scheme would be high-quality bus services within the main towns and on the inter-urban corridors connecting them.

Conventional demand management techniques such as travel planning and parking restraint are already being developed across the Sub-Region as part of the authorities’ work. We recognise that the opportunity exists to provide financial incentives and real choice to road users to encourage travel outside peak times and on non-congested routes. As part of the development work, the impact of different schemes and policies would need to be examined. Key criteria would need to include:

• Addressing congestion on strategic routes • Protecting minor rural routes from existing traffic • Encouraging modal-shift • Improving access to town centres • Enabling growth • Protecting and enhancing the local economy and encouraging regeneration of some communities.
