Recommendations The Committee is asked to: Note and discuss the report and draft response to the draft Mayor’s Transport Strategy at Appendix 1; Agree to submit the draft response to the draft Mayor’s Transport Strategy as outlined at Appendix 1; Agree that if changes are substantial at the TEC meeting, the Chair and Vice-Chairs will sign-off the response on TEC’s behalf. Response to the Mayor’s Draft Transport Strategy London Councils’ TEC – 12 October 2017 Agenda Item 4, Page 1 Background and response development 1. The draft Mayor’s Transport Strategy was published on 21 June 2017. London Councils has taken care to give opportunities for boroughs to shape the draft response. 2. On 2 March 2017 London Councils held a joint pre-consultation event with TfL for officers and members. 3. An event with the Deputy Mayor, Val Shawcross CBE and Lilli Matson from TfL was arranged for 20 July 2017. This provided an opportunity for members to hear about the draft MTS and discuss key issues. 4. London Councils officers have also attended a number of officer meetings and forums to capture issues that borough officers have raised. These include a workshop for borough officers organised by TfL on the Mayor’s Transport Strategy on 18 July, a LoTAG meeting (London Technical Advisers Group) on 24 July, and a meeting of the London Environment Directors Network (LEDNET) on 4 September. 5. Our response drafting has been assisted by an officer Task and Finish Group which has met twice; once on 6 July and again on 7 September. 6. All borough officers have been invited to comment on three occasions as the draft has developed, between July and September. 7. Members were invited to comment on the draft response between 11 and 25 September. Comments have been incorporated into this final draft response attached at Appendix 1. TEC meeting 12 October 2017 8. Val Shawcross CBE, Deputy Mayor, is attending TEC on 12 October 2017. This will be an opportunity to highlight key issues in response to the draft MTS. 9. Further comments can be provided by TEC members at the meeting, which will be incorporated into the final response. 10. If the changes are substantial, it is suggested that the final response be signed-off for submission by the Chair and Vice-Chairs of TEC. 11. The consultation formally closed on 2 October 2017. London Councils has been granted an extension to enable TEC to discuss the response at its meeting on 12 October. It is however necessary for the response to be submitted as soon as possible after the TEC meeting to ensure borough views are taken into account. Recommendations The Committee is asked to: Note and discuss the report and draft response to the draft Mayor’s Transport Strategy at Appendix 1; Agree to submit the draft response to the draft Mayor’s Transport Strategy as outlined at Appendix 1; Agree that if changes are substantial at the TEC meeting, the Chair and Vice-Chairs will sign-off the response on TEC’s behalf.

Response to the Mayor’s Draft Transport Strategy London Councils’ TEC – 12 October 2017 Agenda Item 4, Page 3 Thursday 12 October 2017 London Councils Draft Mayor’s Transport Strategy DRAFT London Councils response London Councils represents London’s 32 borough councils and the City of London. It is a cross- party organisation that works on behalf of all of its member authorities regardless of political persuasion. Introduction and key themes 1. London Councils represents London’s 32 borough councils and the City of London. It is a cross party organisation that works on behalf of all its member authorities regardless of political persuasion. 2. The 32 London Boroughs and the City of London are the Mayor of London’s and Transport for London’s key delivery partners for the Mayor’s Transport Strategy. Boroughs are responsible for 95 per cent of the highways network, as well as taking a keen interest in the rail, tube, tram and bus services provided to their residents, workers and visitors. This London Councils response sets out a series of issues we want to see reflected in the final Mayor’s Transport Strategy. 3. The key themes of our response are: i. We support the ambition and bold vision, particularly for Healthy Streets; ii. We welcome the recognition that some of the proposals will be easier for some boroughs to deliver than others; iii.

  • Lee Valley Regional Park Landscape Character Assessment
    LCT C: Urban Valley Floor with Marshlands SPA, which provides a nationally important habitat for overwintering birds. Cultural Influences 4.64 The low-lying land of rich alluvial deposits supported a system of grazing, referred to as the Lammas system5 from the Anglo-Saxon period to the end of the C19th. Grazing rights on the marshes were extinguished by the early C20th and a substantial proportion of the marshlands, with the exception of Walthamstow Marshes, were then modified by industrial activities and landfill, including the dumping of bomb rubble after WW2. In the 1950 and 60s the construction of flood relief channels ended the periodic inundation of the marshlands. 4.65 Communication routes through the valley floor proliferated over the C20th, including pylons, roads and railway lines mounted on embankments, but residential and industrial development remains largely confined to the margins. 4.66 Public access and recreation now characterises much of the marshlands, with some areas managed as nature reserves. However substantial infrastructure, such as the railway lines and flood relief channels and adjacent industrial development, means access through and into the marshes from surrounding urban areas is often severed. The tow-path following the River Lee Navigation provides a continuous link along the valley for visitors to enjoy the landscape. 5 A system of grazing whereby cattle was grazed only after the cutting and collection of hay Lee Valley Regional Park Landscape Strategy 85 April 2019 LCA C1: Rammey Marsh Lee Valley Regional Park Landscape Strategy 86 April 2019 LCA C1: Rammey Marsh Occasional long views out to wooded valley sides between Residential properties overlooking the southern area across the riverside vegetation.

It seeks approval for proposed arrangements for providing funding for the project from the resources secured from the Strategic Investment Pot and for governance arrangements reflecting the fact that the project is being jointly funded and delivered. Recommendations Leaders are asked to: i) NOTE progress in development of the business case for the WLO; ii) AGREE the proposed arrangements for funding the project from Strategic Investment Pot resources held by the West London Alliance; and iii) AGREE the arrangements for governance of the project, including establishment of a Partners Oversight Group 1. WHY THIS REPORT IS NEEDED 1.1 The WLEPB has consistently identified the West London Orbital (WLO) Overground rail line as a shared strategic priority for West London, integral to the sub-region’s sustainable development. The Board has agreed that progress and next steps relating to the WLO should be a standing item on its agenda. The West London Alliance (WLA) and West London boroughs have worked closely with Transport for London (TfL) and the Greater London Authority and Network Rail to develop and refine the business case for the project.

The allocation of central Government funding to the projects is based on Defra Policy. £180m of Flood Defence Grant in Aid (FD GiA) investment planned in the Thames Estuary to maintain the World Class standard of protection for London from tidal flooding. £77m of FD GiA investment within London in the next six years to directly protect 10,000 properties from tidal flooding £36m of FD GiA investment planned to reduce the risk of river and surface water flooding to 6,800 properties in London At least £25m of contributions are required to unlock all of this investment over the next six years. Levy provides a mechanism for local authorities to pool resources to achieve this. The return on the investment in flood risk management is high. Within Thames the average benefit to cost ratio’s for schemes within the six year investment programme are; Protecting London from tidal flooding: 117:1 Reducing the risk from river flooding: 10:1 Reducing the risk from surface water flooding: 7:1 Levy The levy is used only to part-fund capital projects led by either local authorities or the Environment Agency.

  • Week 10 Monday 7 May All Day Transport
    Week 10 Monday 7 May all day Transport 29 Feb 2019 Respondent Number: 2145 (John Cox) Contents: (1) Comments on ‘Minor Suggested Change’ MSC.10.21 (2) Comments on Matter M76 ============================================= (1) ‘MINOR SUGGESTED CHANGE’ MSC.10.21 There is a ‘Minor Suggested Change’ MSC.10.21 in T3 Table 10.1, currently adding the wording: “London Overground Extension – West London Orbital” That wording is opposed, because it does not, as claimed, provide “Consistency with other GLA Strategies”. I suggest (given the need for enforced brevity in the table) new wording: “Infrastructure improvements on West London Orbital route, including for a London Overground Extension” Specific improvements on the WLO route are still being studied by the ‘West London Alliance’ of boroughs and by TfL - for instance, whether to fully electrify the route, remove existing level crossings, or replace and widen bridges. Nevertheless, there are certain to be significant infrastructure improvements, particularly on the northern section, the Dudding Hill freight line between LB Ealing at Old Oak Common, via LB Brent just south of Wembley, to LB Barnet at Brent Cross Cricklewood. One result of physical improvements is the chance to add completely new London Overground services. However, there are other benefits of this investment - the railway can more efficiently handle freight traffic (supporting policies SI8, SI10, and T7) and can provide a new passenger route for longer-distance, non-London Overground, south-east regional trains (supporting policy T1), stopping at London’s opportunity areas. The replacement wording above is more positively prepared and justified than the original, and more effectively based on joint working on cross-boundary strategic priorities.

  • Draft London Plan: Examination in Public Matter M76 – Transport Schemes and Development Written Statement by the West London Alliance 1
    DRAFT LONDON PLAN: EXAMINATION IN PUBLIC MATTER M76 – TRANSPORT SCHEMES AND DEVELOPMENT WRITTEN STATEMENT BY THE WEST LONDON ALLIANCE 1. Introduction 1.1 This statement is submitted by the West London Alliance (WLA) on behalf of its member authorities: Barnet, Brent, Ealing, Harrow, Hammersmith and Fulham, Hillingdon and Hounslow. It deals specifically with the West London Orbital (WLO) London Overground extension, a scheme included in Table 10.1 in the draft London Plan (DLP). It explains how the WLO is necessary to the development of West London envisaged by the DLP and the work done to date to take the project forward, including on funding. It concludes by suggesting some changes to DLP wording, mostly to reflect developments since the original drafting. 2. The West London Orbital Line 2.1 The WLO proposal is for a heavy rail link with a central core between South Acton and Neasden with two branch options at either end – to Hendon/West Hampstead in the north and Hounslow/Kew Bridge to the south. It will involve bringing back into passenger use a 6.4 km length of track currently used for freight (the Dudding Hill Line). 2.2 The WLO will directly link three key opportunity areas (OAs) identified in the DLP: Brent Cross/Cricklewood, Old Oak/Park Royal and the Great West Corridor (see figure 1). It will also significantly improve accessibility to the Wembley and Harrow and Wealdstone OAs. It will serve Hounslow (a DLP metropolitan centre) and DLP district centres at Acton, Harlesden, Neasden, Cricklewood (all identified as regeneration priorities in the DLP) and Brentford.
