  • Sutton Link, Sutton Local Committee
    Sutton Link, Sutton Local Committee Daniel Doris - Major Scheme Programme Manager 6th September 2018 Background ● The Tram extension has been part of strategic planning policy for over 20 years. It is part of a shared aspiration to address the public transport deficit in South London, and support high quality sub-regional economic growth. ● Since 2013, Sutton and Merton have been working in collaboration with TfL, to undertake the necessary feasibility work to deliver the extension. ● A public consultation carried out by Sutton and Merton, supported by TfL, in 2014 received over 10,000 responses with 84% of people supporting the extension. In addition the scheme features in the Mayor’s Transport Strategy and Sutton’s Local Plan. ● TfL has publically committed £70m funding (from the Growth Fund). Furthermore, TfL have committed to undertaking the necessary feasibility works required to deliver a Transport & Works Act Order (TWAO) which is necessary to gain consent to deliver the scheme. The Benefits ● Extending the Tram network to Sutton would have a range of benefits for residents and businesses across south London addressing the lack of public transport investment in this part of outer London. ● The on road alignment (from Morden Road to Sutton Station, via St Helier Hospital) could improve access to Transport to 59,000* people in some of Sutton and Merton’s most deprived wards. ● It could facilitate the connections between key interchanges, such as Sutton station, Morden underground (Northern Line) and Wimbledon (National Rail Services and the District Line), improving connectivity for residents in both boroughs across south London and to central London.

  • LRTA Response to Dft Call on Light Rail
    Campaigning for Trams and Light Rail Light Rail Transit Association 138 Radnor Avenue, Welling, DA16 2BY 19th May 2019 Dear Sir The Light Rail Transit Association (LRTA) was established in 1937 by a group of people concerned about the proposed closures of tramways in London. The Association has grown over the intervening 82 years into an international body with over 2,000 members around the world, half outside the United Kingdom. Although the LRTA’s members come from all walks of life, they share a common concern with the development of good quality public transport through the use of light rail and tramways. Many are professionals working in the transport industries. The Association’s monthly magazine, “Tramways & Urban Transit” is widely regarded as essential reading around the world by those concerned with the development, building, operation and use of light rail and tramway systems. The Association’s objectives are to educate people about light rail and modern tramways and to advocate the adoption of such systems as core components of modern integrated transport systems. The Association carries out its campaigning under the banner TramForward. The Light Rail Transit Association would like to respond to your consultation questions as follows: Q1 What is the potential scale of the opportunity for further light rail (or other rapid transit) systems to be introduced in England? Potentially there are considerable opportunities for further light rail and tram systems where major towns and cities are suffering from congestion and traffic generated pollution. Any urban area with a population over or approaching 80,000 is likely to benefit from some form of rail-based rapid transit.

  • Local Implementation Transport Plan Summary
    London Borough of Merton Draft Third Local Implementation Plan: Transport Plan February 2019 1 Contents Foreword 3 Executive Summary 4 Introduction 6 Borough transport objectives 8 Mayor's Transport Strategy outcomes 22 Mayoral strategies that have informed the LIP 57 The Delivery Plan 61 Borough outcome indicator targets 80 2 Foreword The Mayor for London Sadiq Khan has rightfully placed growth, healthy people and places as the central theme of his adopted Transport Strategy. Merton Council is supportive of the strategy and in particular the adoption of healthy streets indicators when designing public realm improvements to make London’s streets healthier places where people can be encouraged to choose walking and cycling as their choice of travel. To get more people active, reduce air pollution and to promote healthier lifestyles the council intends to prioritise the delivery of improved walking and cycling facilities. We also want to encourage more people to lead healthier lives and to reduce air pollution, particularly in the more congested parts of the borough. Our bold new Air Quality Action Plan 2018 - 2023 includes many actions aimed at road transport and the benefits of reducing vehicle journeys in promoting cleaner travel. As a council we have introduced a diesel levy on parking permits as we recognise that bad air quality has been identified as a leading cause of ill health and premature death and to encourage people to drive the least polluting vehicles as possible. We have already introduced a variety of walking and cycling initiatives, car clubs, electric vehicle changing points and are also taking steps to reduce harmful emissions by discouraging drivers from using their cars in areas which are well served by public transport and improve air quality.

Summary 1.1. An extension to the existing London Trams network has been a priority of both Sutton and Merton Council for over 20 years. In July 2017 the Mayor of London asked Transport for London (TfL) to investigate opportunities for an extension to Sutton with a view to submitting a Transport Works Act Order (TWAO) application if funding for the project can be identified. The London Borough of Sutton (LBS), in partnership with TfL and the London Borough of Merton (LBM), has embarked on the option assessment and further development of the scheme and as such LBS needs to reaffirm its commitment to the project. 2. Recommendations The Housing, Economy and Business (HEB) Committee is recommended to: 2.1. Note progress to date on the tram extension (Sutton Link) programme for submission of a potential Transport & Works Act Order (TWAO) application. Agenda Item 12 Page 300 2.2.

  • OUTCOME REPORT June 2013
    Foundation Trust Consultation OUTCOME REPORT June 2013 1 Executive Summary St George‟s Healthcare NHS Trust consulted on proposals for becoming a Foundation Trust between 1 February and 26 April 2013. We contacted more than 10,000 people by post, email, online, and face to face on trust premises and at 35 internal and external meetings. More than 500 individuals and 23 organisations responded formally, either in writing or by completing our consultation questionnaire. The questionnaire contained seven questions on the specifics of our proposals, all of which received the support of more than two-thirds of respondents. We are delighted with the overwhelming support for our proposals and the level of engagement with the consultation. We have received a number of important comments, all of which have been carefully considered. As a result, we are making two substantial changes to our proposals: We now propose to reallocate the number of Governors from each constituency roughly in proportion with trust income from each area. This measure will increase the number of Wandsworth-based Governors from four to six and reduce the number elected from the regional or „rest of England‟ constituency from six to four which will keep the total number of public governors at 15. Merton and Lambeth will elect the same number as originally proposed, four and one respectively. We also propose to increase the number of staff governors from four to five, adding a new constituency representing those working in community services. We believe that the consultation process has been robust and successful, reaching all of our target audiences, including stakeholders, staff, patients, carers and the general public.
