Report of the Director of Highways

Development of the 3 rd Greater Manchester Local Transport Plan

Wards affected: All Report Author: Lisa Houghton Network Improvement Team Leader Telephone: (01706) 924609

The third Greater Manchester Local Transport Plan (GMLTP3) will be the platform for the Manchester City Region transport objectives. It is a statutory requirement that the Greater Manchester authorities have published GMLTP3 by end of March 2011. This plan will identify the long term approach for transport and how transport will contribute to national objectives. The plan is scheduled for public consultation 4th October.

1.0 It is recommended that:

1.1 Members note the development of the third Greater Manchester Local Transport Plan (GMLTP3), the statutory requirements of its production and the consultation schedule.

2.0 Reasons for recommendation:

2.1 The GM Local Authorities have a statutory requirement to publish GMLTP3 by the end of March 2011. Currently under development and consultation, this plan can have a direct consequence on the contribution of transport towards economic uplift and regeneration at national, regional and local levels.

3.0 Alternatives considered:

3.1 None

4.0 The Local Transport Plan

4.1 The Local Transport Plan, required by statute, is a key document that pulls together transport strategy and delivery locally and the relevant adjoining areas, and it relates it to the wider corporate agendas. The Plan sets out long-term aims and supporting strategies / local implementation plans for achieving them. 4.2 GMLTP3 targets are currently not confirmed but will respond to the Governments and DaSTS (Delivering a Sustainable Transport Strategy – developed for DfT) objectives of: • Economic Growth • Carbon / Climate Change • Public Safety & Health • Sustainable Neighborhoods and Public Spaces • Value for Money – Maximise efficiency of the networks – Prioritisation of spend to maximise economic benefits – Effective Procurement – Satisfaction with network performance 4.3 Similar to the recently approved Rochdale Transport Strategy, GMLTP3 is subject to capital intensive investment to deliver aspirations and achieve contribution to national targets as outlined in DaSTS. These transport strategies provide direction for current and future investment from both the private and public sectors.

4.4 Transport patterns seldom replicate local ward and authority boundaries and the GMLTP3 brings the wider agenda into consideration. To focus investment on the transport network to deliver short term non-strategic schemes can be detrimental to long term outputs required from Governmental investments. GMLTP3 will set regional transport priorities to help maximize the value provided towards both local and national agendas.

5.0 Greater Manchester – Management Arrangements for GMLTP3

5.1 The development of GMLTP3 is being managed through the recently formed Transport Strategy Group (TSG) comprising Senior Officers. This is to assist and enhance the decision making process for transport related policy, strategy and broader scheme approvals and implementation.

5.2 AGMA and the TSG have approved the draft GMLTP3 for consultation and also considered the template for the GMLTP3 district annexes as Local Area Implementation Plans. These local plans will outline a 3-4 year strategy to mirror the Comprehensive Spending Review and timetable. This will assist districts in longer term programme management, alongside the district-specific political and financial approval required for highway scheme delivery.

Page 2 5.3 The Local Implementation Plan will be the platform for discussion with other services and demonstrate how GMLTP3 objectives and funding can support the stakeholders of Rochdale in delivering on both transport and non-transport targets. The stakeholders and targets include those related to NHS health care, education, business and commerce, retail and leisure.

6.0 Consultation undertaken/proposed:

6.1 The Greater Manchester Joint Transport Team (GMJTT) has coordinated the preparation of GMLTP3, complimented by high level discussions at GMITA, AGMA and its Executive Board.

6.2 The draft document is now ready to be circulated for formal public consultation and the Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive (GMPTE) will be hosting this on www.gmpte.gov.uk on behalf of AGMA and GMJTT.

6.3 In compliance with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) GMPTE have been in liaison with the Social Service Departments across the GM authorities to ensure alternative formats of the document and that the appropriate type and levels of support is available.

6.4 The current consultation timetable for GMLTP3 is: • October 4 th GMPTE begin public consultation on GMLTP3 • October 8 th Presentation to the Local Authority ITA and Highway Portfolio Members on the GMLTP3 • December 24 th Close of GMLTP3 public consultation • January 2011 GMJTT prepare review of consultation comments and feedback to AGMA • March 2011 GMITA present core strategy to DfT for approval • April 2011 Greater Manchester adopts the GMLTP3 core strategy

6.4 In addition GMLTP3 Local Implementation Plans are to be drafted and consulted on internally within RMBC by end of calendar year 2010. Whilst these do not require DfT approval they may influence future funding allocations. The proposed timetable to develop Rochdale’s Local Implementation Plan is: • Oct/Nov 2010 Develop Rochdale Area Implementation Plan (Following announcement of the CSR on 20 th October) • December 2010 High Level Consultation on draft plan followed by RMBC Sustainability Assessment • January 2010 Present Rochdale Plan to RMBC Cabinet • February 2010 Present final version to the GMJTT

12.0 Aiming High

12.1 The DaSTS objectives that underpin GMLTP3 correlate with the cross cutting themes within four Council priorities and five Council aims as set out in “Aiming High”.

• Economic Growth • Carbon / Climate Change • Public Safety & Health • Sustainable Neighborhoods and Public Spaces • Value for Money

13.0 Financial Implications:

13.1 A national reduction within the ITB (Integrated Transport Block) allocations in the final year 2010/11 of LTP2 has been experienced. For Rochdale this resulted in a reduction of 640k on an allocation of 1249k; the allocation for 2010/11 is 610k.

13.2 Currently no reduction has been imposed on the 2010/11 Maintenance Block allocations, which include Bridges and Structures, Street Lighting and Highway Structural Maintenance; these, remain at 998k, 210k and 1494k respectively. The total allocation for 2010/11 is 2703k.

13.3 The budget and irrespective funding allocations for GMLTP3 delivery and the Rochdale 2011/12 Highways Programmes are not known and remain subject to the outcome of the Comprehensive Spending Review.

3 Greater Manchester Local Transport Plan 3 Consultation Brochure

Foreword Greater Manchester is the most important economic centre outside London, but one that is yet to achieve its full potential. To do this, we – the Greater Manchester Integrated Transport Authority and the Association of Greater Manchester Authorities – need to help more local residents become active contributors to the economy. This will enable us to tackle unemployment and other long term problems in our most deprived communities.

We need to help people become active contributors to the economy

Effective transport networks are essential. We will need to balance competing By providing the right systems that allow needs, maintaining a keen eye on people to access jobs that they need and what is best for our local economy and businesses to access the right people, we people’s employment prospects.

Do you have any comments on the strategy outlined in this brochure?

What is a Local Transport Plan? All transport authorities are required by law to produce a Local Transport Plan at Page 65 least every ﬁve years. This new Local Transport Plan will be the third that we have issued in Greater Manchester since 2001, setting the agenda for the next 10 to 15 years. It provides a clear set of priorities for local transport spending and services that best support the future of Greater Manchester, aimed at helping residents, businesses, commuters and visitors to get to where they need to go in a manner that works best for them.

The objective of the Local Transport Plan In particular, we aim to improve will be to identify a clear programme of access from more residential areas, investment in cost-effective transport particularly where major housing activity schemes that create maximum economic is planned, to major employment areas. benefit while improving social and These include our main city and town environmental benefits.

Page 72 DRAFT GMLTP3 LOCAL AREA IMPLEMENTATION PLANS

Proposed structure

This is the draft structure for the 10 Local Area Implementation Plans that will sit under the overarching Greater Manchester Strategy. It has been collated following a pilot undertaken by Manchester CC and by internal JTT & PTE Projects thinking. This paper is best printed in colour. LTP Steering Group are asked to comment on this structure and consider under the following points;

I. Does it cover all the areas which districts would like to see covered? II. Will the important issues of working in partnership with PTE, HA, Education, Health and other stakeholders be suitably demonstrated? III. Is it clear how the LAIPS between areas will be consistent across the 10 areas? IV. Would districts like to able to modify this structure during this process to suit a more local flavour?

PART B – ‘HANDED DOWN’ SCHEMES ______

1. Core Strategic Objectives

2. District Strategic Objectives (include cross boundary/joint LA objectives)

3. List of proposals/schemes ‘handed down’ to district from core strategy This will include all major schemes (over £5m); cross-boundary schemes (e.g. bus priority measures on major traffic routes); and schemes that are part of a strategic programme but where there are local implications (e.g. Park + Ride sites, rail station improvement schemes etc.) These will include early delivery of schemes in the GMTF Delivery Programme.

THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN

The Plan should cover all of the authority’s policies and delivery plans relating to transport, explaining how these contribute to the wider local agenda. It should consider the transport needs of both people and freight. It should consider not only possible enhancements to transport services but the maintenance, operation, management and best use of the assets necessary for transport delivery.

An Implementation Plan should complement the Strategy, acting as a detailed business plan for implementing the measures which contribute to the Strategy. This may include a funded programme of transport improvements, key milestones and risk assessment. It should be informed by deliverability and likely available funding.

The Implementation Plan will span a 3 year period 2011/12 – 2013/14 and contain within it, a 1 year spending plan for 2011/12.

Page 74 DRAFT PART C- ANALYSIS ______

1. District Wide

In particular this section needs to describe the local partnership arrangements in place to deliver the strategic objectives and the core strategy and how the actions / interventions of the partners will improve performance against objectives

We will need to determine whether the Strategy covers all relevant policy areas in sufficient and/or satisfactory detail or whether we feel it necessary for some form of supplementary work around e.g. walking, cycling, accessibility, parking, freight, buses, road safety and traffic reduction. In particular, we have identified a number of additional areas of work in TSfMCC on, for example, cycling (both city wide and city centre), parking (joint with Salford) and buses (perhaps taking GMPTE further than they want to go regarding bus quality and performance in the city centre )

4 Problems, Challenges & Issues including cross boundary issues (across GM and to those outside GM)

• Desired outcomes • Community strategy • Other

Spatial Dimension

This section should set out how the District will prioritise investment across their area and particularly the city/town/district centres and priority regeneration areas. a. Regional/District centre Outline of key issues b. The Strategic Regeneration Framework Areas

The plan will need to explain how it will reflect and support the Local Development Framework (LDF) Analysis of key transport issues. Eg. In Manchester this will be determined following conversations with key players in the city’s SRFs :

i) New East Manchester ii) North Manchester iii) Central Manchester iv) South Manchester v) Wythenshawe vi) Local centres c) Partnership/cross-agency working arrangements

PART D – Option Appraisal & Emergence of Proposals______There will be a need to demonstrate that the spending priorities have been determined through analysis of a sound evidence base of local needs and issues a) Regional/District Centre b) Corridor by corridor including issues relating to ground transport access to Manchester Airport

Opportunities for partnership/cross agency working. How behavioural change/smarter choices measures will contribute to delivering objectives and outcomes.

Page 76 DRAFT PART E - 3 Year Programme & 1 Year Spending Plan ______

Strategic Schemes handed down from core strategy

Assumption is that all major scheme proposals will be in core strategy NOT in Delivery Plans

Schemes of More than Local Significance (SOMTLS)

Local Schemes

Summary of Maintenance and Asset Management Issues Separate Asset Management Plan being prepared

Partnership Arrangements Including statements form other agencies, voluntary sector etc.

VfM – Preferred Schemes/Do Min

Risk Assessment and Management Including any potential capacity or workforce constraints

Funding This section should show how the programme element will be resourced including the use of partner agency funding and any other complementary funding sources

Implementation Strategy (i) Overview (ii) Use of road space (iii) Transport change (iv) Freight (v) Urban Regeneration (vi) Improvements to maintenance and safety of network (vii) Public Transport Improvements f) Interchange g) Light and heavy rail h) Other rail measures

1 Year Spending Plan

Page 77 DRAFT PART F- IMPACT ANALYSIS ON OTHER STRATEGIES ______

This section will set down how the LTP will help deliver the Council’s wider cross-cutting priorities; for example • Child Poverty Strategy • Every Child Matters • Valuing Older People etc.

PART G – PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT AND MONITORING

This section should explain in detail how the proposals and activities set out in the spending plan will meet the objectives of the core strategy and have the desired impact on the indicators and targets

Performance indicators This section should explain in detail how the proposals and activities set out in the spending plan will meet the objectives of the core strategy and have the desired impact on the indicators and targets.

Reporting Arrangements This will include the scope, format and content of performance reporting arrangements e.g. an annual report to the Transport Board.

PART H – CONSULTING AND INVOLVING STAKEHOLDERS We need to consult on the Implementation Plan separately from the Strategy. In doing so, we will need to carefully balance the importance of consultation with the risk of “consultation overload”.

PART I - DELIVERY DfT recommends that all local authorities set up appropriate management systems to facilitate the planning, monitoring and control of the transport programme. These should be linked with wider business improvement and performance management systems within the City. There should be transparent accountability both for the overall delivery and for specific aspects of the LTP programme. It will be essential to oversee delivery, manage risk and monitor outcomes and, where necessary, decide on corrective action.
