Tyne and Wear Local Sustainable Transport Tyne and Wear Local Sustainable Transport Tyne and Wear Integrated Transport Authority Civic Centre Newcastle upon Tyne NE99 2BN Telephone (0191) 277 8997 Fax (0191) 211 4948 Our Ref: LSTF E-mail [email protected] Date: 6th June 2011 Dear Sir, Tyne and Wear Local Sustainable Transport Fund: Initial Proposals for Large Project The Tyne and Wear Integrated Transport Authority welcomes the opportunity to submit initial proposals for a large project to the Local Sustainable Transport Fund. This follows on from the submission of our Key Components Bid in April. Our main objectives for the bid are as follows: improving sustainable access to key employment/growth sites; managing congestion on key corridors; and promotion of active and healthy travel, with a particular focus on cycling. These objectives are consistent with the overall strategies and policies contained in the recently adopted Local Transport Plan for Tyne and Wear. We believe our proposals will: benefit the economy by managing congestion, making journey times more reliable and predictable, and improving the accessibility of the main employment areas; reduce carbon emissions by increasing the proportion of journeys made by low- carbon sustainable modes; improve safety by addressing safety concerns in particular locations and by improving facilities for walking and cycling; improve air quality and reduce noise, as motorised journeys are replaced by more sustainable modes; deliver increased levels of physical activity with significant health benefits; and improve social inclusion, and access for the whole community to jobs, services and facilities. Clerk B Rowland Treasurer and Deputy Clerk P. Woods Engineer to the Tyne Tunnel Personnel Officer P Perry Legal Adviser S. Ovens Tyne and Wear Integrated Transport Authority Continued We have sought commitment and backing from a wide stakeholder group, who have expressed a willingness to engage with us in the development and delivery of our large project bid.

Project name: An Active Future for Tyne and Wear 1 A2. Headline description: This bid sets out a package of proven measures targeted on aiding economic recovery and reducing carbon emissions. Our proposals address three key goals – improving sustainable access to key employment / growth sites, managing congestion on key corridors, and promotion of active and healthy travel, with particular focus on cycling – producing major benefits for the economy and the environment, as well as delivering improved accessibility, road safety, social inclusion and air quality. The measures proposed encompass and build on our complementary Key Components bid, submitted in April, which addresses travel to schools. Taken together, we believe our overall package provides an attractive alternative to short- distance car trips. A3.

Significant additional funding is expected to become available: Through Section 106 and other developer contributions in association with existing and future planning approvals; and From other sectors, such as public health.

NHS North of Tyne, South Tyneside Primary Care Trust, Gateshead Primary Care Trust, Sunderland Teaching Primary Care Trust – will support the delivery of this bid NE1 – the company behind one of the largest Business Improvement Districts in the UK, supports the bid A selection of letters of support from these (and other) bodies are attached in Appendix A. SECTION B – The local challenge B1. The local context: Background Tyne and Wear comprises the five local authorities of Newcastle City Council, Sunderland City Council, Gateshead Council, North Tyneside Council and South Tyneside Council. These five authorities, together with Nexus, the local Passenger Transport Executive, collaborate on a joint Local Transport Plan, under the overall remit of Tyne and Wear ITA (TWITA). Tyne and Wear is a largely urban area of circa 1.1 million people and 485,000 jobs, with a strong local identity and rich heritage, that has faced the challenge of developing new industries to replace traditional large employers and which currently has a heavy reliance on public sector employment. The need to strengthen and broaden the local economy is a key challenge but other major concerns are the requirement to meet carbon reduction targets and tackle high levels of deprivation and ill-health in some areas. Delivering sustainable growth is fundamental to revitalising the local economy and creating a better quality of life. In addition, the partnership working and community involvement integral to our bid will also help to recapture community spirit and create a stronger society. Tyne and Wear’s economic growth depends on good accessibility, of goods to market and of people to jobs and services Wallsend Chamber of Trade Land use policy seeks to underpin our regeneration goals. This includes promoting recovery in local housing markets and building on the existing employment base of the 4 area, whilst maximising the use of brownfield sites. Concentrations of employment include traditional centres, particularly the urban core of Newcastle/Gateshead and Sunderland city centre; long-established employment centres such as trading estates; and modern business parks. Growth Plans (see Appendix B2) Major employment sites in Tyne and Wear are clustered around the principle road network, in particular the main town and city centres and along the A1 and A19 trunk roads. Managing congestion is a growing challenge for Tyne and Wear on the key corridors serving these (see Appendix B1). The local business community is increasingly concerned at the threat traffic congestion on key routes poses to future regeneration and growth,

Gaining outline planning consent in 2000, it was able to meet the ‘very special circumstances’ required for green belt release, in an era when strong Brownfield First policies were in place. This may have been aided by an agreement that 1 initially linked development at NGP with brownfield development in inner areas of Newcastle, aiming for a ratio of two-thirds brownfield development to one-third greenfield. The site is large and contains a diverse range of housing types, plus many areas that are still in progress or yet to be developed. According to the 2000 outline consent, development within each of the constituent cells must be carried out according to a Development Site Strategy Statement approved by the council for that cell. The first sections to be built were Cells H and I to the east of the A1.

Annexe D Surveys and research Annexe E References and acknowledgements 2 1 Introduction 1.1 We need to consider whether we need standards for green spaces in Newcastle. What sort of standards, and how to apply them. 1.2 Without standards there is no baseline against which provision can be measured. It is difficult to make a case against a proposal to build on or change the use of existing open space or a case for open space to be included in a development scheme if there are no clear and agreed standards. 1.3 Standards are used to define how much open space is needed, particularly when planning new developments. Local authority planning and leisure departments have developed standards of provision and these have been enshrined in policy and guidance documents.

    Local bus links in Newcastle Designing a network to TYNE AND WEAR meet your needs INTEGRATED TRANSPORT AUTHORITY Public consultation 15 March - 4 June 2010 Local bus links in Newcastle Designing a network to meet your needs Public consultation People in Newcastle make 47 million bus journeys annually - that’s an average of more than 173 journeys a year for every resident! Nexus, Newcastle City Council and the Tyne and Wear Integrated Transport Authority (ITA) want to make sure the network of bus services in the area meets residents’ needs. To do this, Nexus has worked together with bus companies and local councils to examine how current services operate and to look at what improvements could be made to the ‘subsidised’ services in the network, which are the ones Nexus pays for. We have called this the Accessible Bus Network Design Project (see below). We want your views on the proposals we are now making to improve bus services in Newcastle, which you can find in this document. We want to hear from you whether you rely on the bus in your daily life, use buses only occasionally or even if you don’t – but might consider doing so in the future. You’ll find details of different ways to respond on the back page of this brochure. This consultation forms part of the Tyne and Wear Integrated Transport Authority’s Bus Strategy, a three year action plan to improve all aspects of the bus services in Tyne and Wear. Copies of the Bus Strategy can be downloaded from www.nexus.org.uk/busstrategy.

Following on from Newcastle City Council’s approval of the draft warding recommendations I would like to submit an alternative option in respect of the above 3 wards. One of the major objections to the new warding pattern was the subdivision of the Kingston Park Neighbourhood Forum area between wards. I will not cover those again as I have attached my previous letter at appendix 1. The overview is as follows:- (The following descriptions are of the areas in each ward – I am not suggesting these would be the proposed names). See map in Appendix 2. Ward A - revised Castle ward, including Dinnington, Hazelrigg and Brunswick villages, Great Park and Woolsington village. Approx. 8029 electors (variance -4%) Ward B – ward including Kingston Park and Newbiggin Hall Estate. Approx. 8881 electors (variance +6.5%) Ward C - revised Callerton and Throckley ward, now excluding Woolsington village and including the area west of Newbiggin Hall Estate (called Bedeburn ward in Woolsington parish). Approx. 8940 (variance (+7%). The boundary between Ward B and C uses the existing parish ward boundary in Woolsington between polling districts ZEN and ZCN (see map Appendix 2).
