    Transport for the North Monthly Operating Report February 2020 1 Contents Page Introduction Summary from the Chief Executive 3 Programme Summary Northern Powerhouse Rail (NPR) 4-6 Integrated & Smart Ticketing (IST) 6-8 Strategic Development Corridors (SDCs) 9-10 Strategic Rail 10-12 Operations Summary 12-15 Financial Performance Financial Update 16-17 Activity Dashboard 18 HR Update 19 KPIs (Key Performance 20-23 Indicators) 2 Introduction Summary from the Chief Executive February saw the escalation of the threat to Transport for the North’s operations from the Coronavirus and this has continued into March. In common with its Constituent Authorites, Transport for the North has undertaken a contingency planning exercise, based on existing business continuity arrangements, to address the challenges posed both by the virus itself, and the steps that might be taken to help control the outbreak. At the time of writing: • The Rail North Partnership, with TfN input, is working very closely with the two main northern train operating companies to continue to run services and mitigate against the impact of Coronavirus – passenger numbers have fallen significantly already as people choose not to travel; • TfN has moved to remote working (on 17 March) in line with Government guidance issued on the 16 March; and • TfN meetings such as the Board meeting on 29 April will be kept under review and moved to consultative conference calls if necessary The Oakervee Review was released on 11 February and on the same day Government announced the decision to complete HS2 in full. As part of the announcement, Government stated its intention to develop an Integrated Rail Plan for the Midlands and the North.

  • Wincham Word Winter 2013/14
    Winter 2014 Starlings over Neumann’s Flash photographed by Joanne Redley of the Friends of Anderton and Marbury (FoAM). Chairman’s Words by Councillor Pete O’Halloran, Chairman of Wincham Parish Council Gosh February 2014 already, it seems like only yesterday we were celebrating Christmas. By the looks of things we’re going to have a busy year this year with some interesting opportunities, challenges and plans coming through. Firstly I have to say a big thank you to one of our Ward Councillors Don Hammond who has secured us substantial funding for the planned toddler area on the Linnards Lane Playing Fields. This and the large grant from the QEII fund along with a contribution from Thor Chemicals which Naomi our Parish Clerk obtained means that work can commence. Running in parallel to this we are also looking at obtaining funding for a permanent War Memorial for the village to coincide with the commemorative events of the Great War. Speeding through the village is an issue raised by a lot of people, and some of you may have noticed villagers out and about with interactive speed equipment. The purpose for this was to collect evidence to obtain a permanent interactive sign. We would be required to part fund this but I feel this could be worthwhile as our observations show that when people see the sign they slow down. Also starting this year will be “Village Strolls”, where Wincham Parish Councillors walk through sections of Wincham with CWaC representatives. This will give us an opportunity to highlight issues directly with the relevant CWaC officials.

  • Strategic Growth Sites E N E
    n o i t a r Assessing climate risks and opportunities for e n e g y g r strategic growth sites e n E • k The effects of climate change are already s i R being felt in Cheshire & Warrington (C&W) g through an increase in frequency of severe n i g weather events such as intense rainfall, high a n winds and prolonged periods of ice and snow. a M • We have also seen an increase in flooding, both from rivers bursting their banks and from surface water caused by y t i periods of high rainfall. Such incidents pose a threat not only u n to homes and people, but also to businesses, with a i t consequent threat to economic growth and prosperity. n o C s s e n i s u B • e c I d n a w o n S At the same time such events also present opportunities for / local companies to develop products and systems to combat d o the effects of climate change as well as installing measures that o l reduce carbon dioxide (CO ) emissions and reduce energy bills. F 2 • Recognising these threats and opportunities, the Cheshire & e Warrington Local Economic Partnership (LEP) commissioned a g study to assess the risks and opportunities at the strategic growth a t r sites and sectors in the region. These sites include both existing o employment sites and those earmarked for future development. h S l The second phase, which is about to commence, will involve e engagement with businesses and site developers to encourage u F them to take action to combat the risks and seize the opportunities.
