  • Local Transport Plan 4 Draft Strategy
    Local Transport Plan 4 Strategy 2021-2036 0 Executive Summary The Local Transport Plan sets out Norfolk County Council’s plans, policies and programmes on transport and transport infrastructure. The plan details how we will deliver a transport network in Norfolk through identifying the projects and programmes important to us, and in their design and direct delivery. The plan also shows how we will seek to influence our key partners in government, communities, the commercial sector and the third sector. This plan is important because transport is important. Transport enables people to get to work and education. It allows us all to visit friends and relatives. We rely on it for days out, for leisure outings and shopping trips. As such, good transport helps people to improve their skills and qualifications. It allows Norfolk’s economy to flourish and ensures that we get good delivered to our factories and our doorsteps. People’s physical and mental health can be improved, and social isolation reduced, through good transport, especially if people can be given confidence to walk or cycle, and if we can improve our bus and rail links. The plan will set out how we make sure that transport’s impacts are minimised; how we will improve the air quality in our towns and built up areas; and how we plan to reduce carbon emissions. This draft plan contains a transport strategy that looks towards 2036. Our intention is to adopt this plan in April 2021. It will be accompanied by a separate Implementation Plan setting out in detail the short-term schemes, projects and measures that we will implement over a three-year period.

The LTP is a vital tool to help councils, their partners and their local communities, plan for transport in the way that best meets the needs of the local area. The Transport Act 2008 requires that LTP3 contain a long term transport strategy and a short term implementation plan with proposals for delivering the strategy. We can set our own time scales for the strategy and implementation plan, and we can monitor, review and refresh the plan as needed to meet local needs. 1.2 The Act places a number of statutory duties on Derby City Council. These include consulting people, considering the needs of disabled people and considering environmental policies and guidance when preparing LTP3. We have carried out Strategic Environmental, Health Impact and Equality Impact Assessments and we have made sure that LTP3 integrates with other Council plans and duties such as the Network Management Duty (Traffic Management Act 2004) and the Air Quality Action Plan (Environment Act 1995).

These statements of priorities are the strategic goals that the London and South East rail market should aim to meet in the long term. Strategic goals are identified based on the aspirations of current and likely future rail industry funders. They are also developed through collaboration with industry partners and stakeholders and a review of existing literature.

  • Railways at Lewes, by Robert Cheesman Introduction
    Railways at Lewes, by Robert Cheesman Introduction This article came about as a result of a request from a member of Friends of Lewes after one of our talks in January, 2017. Two managers from the BAM-Nuttall team who had completed a year-long renovation of the station’s listed buildings came to describe the challenges they had faced and this was preceded by a short history of railways in the town by Robert Cheesman, Chairman of the Friends of Lewes. Afterwards it was suggested that it would be interesting to have a more detailed account. A.H. Homewood postcard of Lewes Station c. 1905, John Hollands collection * 1 Description of the lines Image © Railway Magazine * After some speculative schemes had been put forward, the first railway from Brighton opened on 8 June 1846, having bisected the Priory Remains to reach Lewes. The station was in Friars Walk and had an ornate Italianate frontage on to the street. This station survived until it was demolished without permission over the Easter weekend in 1969. Friars Walk frontage of the original Lewes station * 2 On 27 June 1846 services were extended to St Leonards (Bulverhythe), but this meant that services from Brighton to St Leonards had to reverse out of Lewes station as it was a terminus. The following year (1847) the London line from Keymer Junction, which tunnelled for some 370 yards under the castle precinct, and the branch line to Newhaven opened. Many of these trains used the station in Friars Walk, although to make operating easier platforms were provided at Pinwell (from 1847) so that some through trains could stop in Lewes without having to reverse out of the station.

  • Strategy Vision, Goals, Priorities and Principles
    Arundel SCATE Transport for the South East - Draft Strategy Consultation January 2020 Arundel SCATE (Ascate) is an Arundel residents group, affiliated to the South Coast Alliance for Transport and Environment (SCATE) network body. Ascate has around 200 signed up supporters, comprising almost entirely local residents and small businesses, and wider support in Arundel and nearby villages. It was formed in 2014 in response to the latest Highways England proposals for a major dual carriageway bypass to the town of Arundel on the A27 SRN route. Arundel SCATE supports sustainable, long term solutions to traffic issues in the area including moderate road improvements and integrated public transport and active travel measures. The group opposes plans for an outdated and hugely damaging dualled, off-line bypass across the Arun Valley. We welcome establishment of TfSE as a Sub-national Transport Body for the south east and believe this new body can provide a lead in coordinated integration of transport networks, enable high standards in sustainable spatial development and forward thinking infrastructure development across transport authorities. In particular, TfSE can help to ensure that tackling the climate and ecological crisis is at the heart of all transport and access improvement plans to develop a healthy and balanced economy. Ascate is pleased to be able to contribute comments on TfSE's draft strategy. Strategy vision, goals, priorities and principles Ascate generally supports the vision and strongly supports the strategic priorities and the key principles. However, whilst understanding that TfSE is compelled to work to government objectives, we would challenge the idea of 'sustainable economic growth' which is an oxymoron in a world of finite resources and sinks and suggest that a vision of a healthy and thriving economy that will equitably sustain current and future generations, is more appropriate.
