$COUN-190809-REP-EN-AB.Doc.Pdf NEATH PORT TALBOT COUNTY BOROUGH COUNCIL CYNGOR BWRDEISTREF SIROL CASTELL-NEDD PORT TALBOT SPECIAL COUNCIL – 19th AUGUST 2009 REPORT OF THE HEAD OF POLICY & ADMINISTRATION 1. ADOPTION OF “PROGRESS IN PARTNERSHIP” - THE REGIONAL TRANSPORT PLAN FOR SOUTH WEST WALES 2010/11- 2014/15 1.1 This report sets out the background to “Progress in Partnership” - The Regional Transport Plan for South West Wales 2010/11-2014/15, and recommends its adoption by Council. 1.2 The Regional Transport Plan (RTP) was considered by the Environment and Highways Cabinet Board on 23rd July 2009 and is commended to the Council for adoption. All Members were invited to a Seminar on the Plan on 7th July 2009. The Welsh Assembly Government (WAG) requires local authorities to jointly prepare Regional Transport Plans. These replace the former Local Transport Plans and will also replace the former Transport Grant process as the main mechanism for securing Assembly capital funding for transport projects from 2010/11 onwards. Together Neath Port Talbot, Swansea, Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire Councils form the SWWITCH consortium, covering south west Wales, which has been developing the RTP for over two and a half years. The Plan is required to be submitted to WAG, following adoption by each of the constituent Councils, by 30 September 2009. A copy of the Executive Summary of the Plan together with the proposed programme of schemes is attached as Appendix A. The full document, together with its supporting Appendices, is available in the Member’s Rooms or can be accessed on the Council’s Intranet site using the following link http://intranet.neathporttalbot.gov.uk/directorates/environment/envnewsdetai l.cfm?id=1130. A hard copy can be obtained from the Climate Change Unit in the Environment Directorate (e-mail [email protected], tel 01639 686532). COUN-190809-REP-EN-AB 1 1.3 The Regional Transport Plan is a bidding document which will replace the annual Transport Grant bidding process. WAG has given no clear indication of the level of funding likely to be available over the initial 5 year RTP period, other than that it is likely that transport capital expenditure will continue to be at similar levels to the recent past. There are already a number of committed major schemes, including the Port Talbot PDR, which will significantly constrain the funding available for new schemes for a number of years. Discussions between WAG, WLGA and all the transport consortia about the method of allocating RTP funding are ongoing. It is expected that WAG will consult on an allocation formula which is likely to be based on demographic and other factors, together with a small element relating to the quality of the submitted RTP. It will then be for the Councils in each consortium to agree the allocation of funds to individual schemes. 1.4 Consultation played a central role in the development of the Plan. Over fifty events were held between June 2006 and June 2008 for stakeholders, partner organisations, representative bodies and associations, as well a wide range of Council officers. Member workshops were held in Sept/Oct 2008 in each of the constituent Councils, together with a regional event for Cabinet Members. The Draft RTP was published for public consultation in July 2008 and included a Programme Pool of over 80 projects put forward during its development. 1.5 A provisional RTP was submitted, as required, at the end of December 2008, taking account of responses to the Draft Plan and incorporating a draft Programme which was the result of applying a method of screening projects approved by the SWWITCH Joint Committee, based on a combination of policy fit, deliverability and value for money. The resulting programme was approved by the SWWITCH Joint Committee on 5 December, at three alternative funding levels, again as required by WAG, – ‘Do minimum’, ‘Second best’ and ‘Preferred’. The programme consisted of groups of schemes in packages, as follows:- Bus corridors Park and ride Interchanges Sustainable transport Economic regeneration COUN-190809-REP-EN-AB 2 1.6 The Final RTP takes account of feedback received from WAG on the Provisional Draft, including strengthened links with the Wales Spatial Plan, a clearer explanation of the results of the appraisal work and how this was used to develop the preferred strategy, and strengthened delivery and monitoring sections. The Final Plan was approved by the SWWITCH Joint Committee on 5 June 2009 and recommended for adoption by the constituent Councils, before submission to WAG by 30th September 2009. The Plan has been developed in a highly consultative way and incorporates the key priorities of each of the constituent Councils. All are now going through parallel processes leading to its adoption. It should be noted that the Plan will be subject to Annual Progress Reports. Whilst Guidance on these is awaited from WAG it is expected that, as well as a statement of progress on the plan programme, they will include a review of priorities and of the programme. It will therefore be possible to amend the Plan in the light of developing circumstances. 1.7 Recommendations It is recommended that ‘Progress in Partnership’ - the Regional Transport Plan for South West Wales 2010/11-2014/15 be adopted by the Council. 1.8 Background Papers “Progress in Partnership” – the Regional Transport Plan for South West Wales 2010/11 – 2014/15. 1.9 Officer Contact Alan Bennett, Head of Policy & Administration Tel: 01639 686677 E-mail: [email protected] COUN-190809-REP-EN-AB 3 Appendix A Regional Transport Plan EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Executive Summary is intended to provide an overview of the Regional Transport Plan (RTP). It does not seek to explain all processes, decision making and appraisal in detail. However, it does: Summarise the role of SWWITCH and the RTP Outline the principles guiding the Transport Strategy and Policy making process in the region and the results of that process Include the RTP Objectives, Long Term Strategy, Policies, 5 year Programme of projects and Monitoring and Delivery proposals. E1.0 Introduction, Vision and Objectives E1.1 Good access is an essential element for a good quality of life. Good access can be provided when services and facilities (such as health care, employment, education, and leisure) are brought directly to users, or when reliable, integrated and accessible transport is available to take users to those services and facilities. Good access helps to achieve strategic aims of Government at all levels, including: Improving economic activity Raising skill levels Healthier and more active individuals and communities Increasing social inclusion E1.2 The Welsh Assembly Government (WAG) has set out high level aspirations for Wales in the One Wales Agenda and in the Wales Spatial Plan. WAG has also adopted a Wales Transport Strategy which seeks to provide the national framework for improved access to help deliver One Wales. E1.3 The South West Wales Integrated Transport Consortium (SWWITCH) is one of the four transport consortia in Wales, all of which are required to produce a Regional Transport Plan (RTP) which will help to deliver, in their regions, the outcomes and strategic priorities set out in the Wales Transport Strategy. The RTPs must also support the aspirations of the Wales Spatial Plan and other national and regional strategies on the economy, sustainable development and the environment. E1.4 WAG set out guidance for the format and general content of the RTP and introduced a new appraisal mechanism, The Welsh Transport Planning and Appraisal Guidance (WelTAG), to be used to ensure that at strategic and programme levels, the RTP is always focused on delivering its objectives. There is also a statutory requirement on the consortia to carry out a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) on the RTP. Consultation E1.5 The RTP Guidance, WelTAG and the SEA all stress the importance of stakeholder participation at all stages of the development of an RTP. SWWITCH has focused time and energy on working with a wide range of stakeholders to ensure that the RTP will deliver a policy framework and the practical projects necessary to support improved access to, from and within South West Wales. Figure ES1 below shows the stages of the RTP and the stakeholder interaction initiated by SWWITCH. In addition to the COUN-190809-REP-EN-AB 4 extensive range of workshops and consultation sessions, more formal research was also critical to the RTP development and this included: Strategic Level Accessibility Assessment – using the computer based mapping system Accession™ Travel Pattern Research – involving 7 day travel diaries completed by more than 2000 residents in the region Public Transport Passenger Satisfaction surveys – involving users and non users of public transport Local Authority “Citizens’ Panels” – with demographically representative samples responding to specific questions on transport Figure ES1 – RTP Stages and Engagement What can we do now – Projects Engagement - workshops on programme What principles guide progress – Policies Engagement – Internal working groups How can we make progress - Long Term Strategy Engagement – workshops on option generation and LTS elements Which are most important for the first five years – Regional Priorities Engagement – Workshop identification of priorities What do we want improved access to facilitate in the region – Vision and Objectives Engagement - Workshops on problems and opportunities E1.6 The RTP Strategy and Policies cover all aspects of access and transport and will provide a framework for the transport activities of public, private and voluntary sector organisations in South West Wales. The RTP is also a bidding document for a programme of capital transport expenditure to help deliver improved access. However the programme does not include transport responsibilities of WAG (although SWWITCH does make recommendations about WAG priorities) or commercial organisations which SWWITCH cannot directly influence.

  • Carmarthenshire Parking Strategy
    Carmarthenshire Parking Strategy FEBRUARY 2018 Project No: CS/091670 Doc Ref: CS/091670 Rev: P01 Carmarthenshire County Council Issue Date: February 2018 Carmarthenshire Parking Strategy Contents 1. Introduction 1 2. Background Information 3 3. Parking Policy 5 4. Current Parking Demand and Capacity 6 5. Comparison with Comparable Towns 9 6. PCN Data 11 7. Technology 14 8. Economic Case for Car Park Management 18 9. Internal Consultation 20 10. Parking Strategy Proposals 22 i 1. Introduction As a predominantly rural area the private motorcar will remain the primary means of transport for the majority of trips across the County. However, as the towns of Carmarthenshire County Council (CCC) continue to grow and develop the opportunity to locate land for parking provision within town centres becomes increasingly difficult. It is therefore essential the existing parking stock is managed effectively to maximise use. A car parking strategy can be one of the most useful tools available to local authorities in helping them achieve their economic, social and environmental objectives. The link between an effective, balanced parking strategy and wider policy objectives has come into greater focus with the emergence of the Swansea Bay City Deal which is expected to give the Swansea Bay City Region a permanent uplift in its GVA of £1.8 billion and will generate almost 10,000 new jobs over the next 15 years. Parking in urban centres will play an important role in facilitating this level of regeneration This Parking Strategy will ensure that future changes to parking provision are both forward thinking and support the economic attractiveness and vitality of the diverse areas within Carmarthenshire.

  • NEWSLETTER No 37 Autumn 2001
    NEWSLETTER No 37 Autumn 2001 ISSN 0952-5327 Editor - I K Morgan, % CCW, Beechwood Office, Talley Road, Llandeilo, Carms. SA19 7HR IMPORTANT NOTE: As from this Issue the Dyfed Invertebrates Group Newsletter has ceased publication. Editorial This issue will be the last Dyfed Invertebrate Group Newsletter. I should like to sincerely thank all those contributors who, over the years, have taken the time to write about their discoveries of the invertebrates in the former Dyfed – Carmarthenshire, Pembroke and Ceredigion. A glance at one of the atlases produced by the Biological Records Centre will show that, for the three counties, we managed to achieve a respectable covering of recording for many invertebrate groups - indeed for some we were one of the better recorded parts of Britain. Numerous scarce or rare invertebrates have been found and important sites identified. Let us hope that the conservation bodies and all those involved in wildlife conservation take heed of the wealth of information found in the thirty-seven newsletters which appeared. I should like to thank Adrian Fowles (now Senior Invertebrate Ecologist with the Countryside Council for Wales) for his crucial role in establishing this Newsletter and for his subsequent support. There was a time, in the late 1980s, when there was much friendly rivalry in invertebrate recording between Adrian in Ceredigion and myself representing Carmarthenshire, but professional and other circumstances have changed and it is with regret that I (and others) are now unable to provide the fieldwork (and subsequent deskwork) to sustain this Newsletter. However, I feel that we should all feel proud at what we did achieve and hope that this great recording effort should not be forgotten but, as I mentioned earlier, used to the benefit of invertebrate conservation.
