Kent County Council (KCC), as Highway Authority, along with Sevenoaks District Council, has instructed Sweco to undertake an integrated Transport Study reviewing access to Swanley town centre and the surrounding villages. This Option Appraisal and Strategy Report forms one of two documents produced as part of this study, which include: · Phase 1 – Baseline Review Report; and · Phase 2 – Option Appraisal and Strategy Report This Option Appraisal and Strategy Report documents Phase 2 of the study process, setting out the process of option development and appraisal. Using the Phase 1 Baseline Review as a basis, it provides details of option generation, sifting and assessment, culminating in the identification of the better performing options which should be taken forward as part of a Transport Strategy for Swanley. The potential options were appraised against the current Sevenoaks District Strategy for Transport and KCC Local Transport Plan priorities and the study objectives. A summary of the prioritised package of measures is presented in this report within the four categories set out below: · Infrastructure · Development Management · Service Provision · Operational Strategy

    Cce Centre for Sustainable Road Freight AN ANALYSIS OF THE SAME-DAY DELIVERY MARKET AND OPERATIONS IN THE UK by Julian Allen, Maja Piecyk and Marzena Piotrowska November 2018 AN ANALYSIS OF THE SAME-DAY DELIVERY MARKET AND OPERATIONS IN THE UK Technical Report CUED/C-SRF/TR012 November 2018 Julian Allen, Maja Piecyk and Marzena Piotrowska University of Westminster Corresponding Authors: Julian Allen: [email protected]; Tel.+44(0)20 350 66627 Maja Piecyk: [email protected] Tel.+44(0)20 7911 5154 Marzena Piotrowska: [email protected] Tel.+44(0)20 350 66626 ABOUT THE FREIGHT TRAFFIC CONTROL 2050 (FTC2050) PROJECT This report has been produced as part of a research project entitled “Freight Traffic Control 2050 (FTC2050): Transforming the energy demands of last-mile urban freight through collaborative logistics”. It is an EPSRC-funded project that began in April 2016 and continues until August 2019. Freight transport currently makes up around 16% of all road vehicle activity in our cities and by 2030, the EU would like to see largely CO2-free logistics systems operating in our urban centres. With van traffic predicted to increase by 20% in London by 2030, and the uptake of alternatively fuelled and electric goods vehicles slow, more radical strategies are needed to reduce the numbers and impacts of freight vehicles in our cities. Working with parcel carriers in London, this project will examine the potential for closer operational collaboration between carriers to reduce urban traffic and energy demand whilst maintaining customer service levels, and evaluate to what extent such relationships can develop naturally within a commercial setting or whether a 3rd party ‘Freight Traffic Controller’ (FTC) would be necessary to ensure equitable distribution of demand across a city.
