The consultation ran for ten weeks; opening on 10 July and closing on 18 September 2017. This report is a factual analysis of the responses received. On 10 July 2017, we published detailed information about our proposals on our website, which we publicised using a number of channels, including the distribution of leaflets across a wide area, targeted email campaigns and news stories in regional and local media. The consultation sought feedback on the proposals from those who may be affected by or interested in the proposals, including, but not limited to; local residents, businesses, employers, transport users and other relevant stakeholders. We also contacted those who responded to the initial consultation on the scheme, which took place in early 2015, to invite their further comments. We received 431 direct responses to the consultation, including 27 from stakeholder organisations. Of these responses, 63 per cent supported or supported most elements of our proposals, 19 per cent opposed all or most elements of our proposals, and 18 per cent did not give an opinion or were not sure. Of the 431 direct responses, 285 were from local residents, where 72 per cent of respondents supported or supported most elements of our proposals. In addition to questions asking respondents for their general level of support for the proposals, we also asked for comments on the three main scheme components. Summary of prominent issues raised during consultation Our detailed analysis of responses is included as Appendix B. 1. Support for dedicated provision for cyclists across the whole scheme area. The provision of better links north-south on the A23 Purley Way was of particular concern; there was also support for continuing the cycle track

    Public Transport Liaison Panel Meeting of held on Tuesday, 27 February 2018 at 9.30 am in F10 - Town Hall MINUTES Present: Councillors Robert Canning and Pat Ryan Also Councillor Simon Hall, Rob Elliott (Resident) and Rachel Carse (Dementia Present: Action Alliance and Social Inclusion Co-ordinator) PART A 1/18 Introductions The Chair welcomed participants to the meeting and those present introduced themselves. The panel noted this was the final agenda they would be discussing before the local election in May. Furthermore because Ilona Kytomaa (Democratic Services Officer) no longer clerked Public Transport Liaison Panel (PTLP) meetings, the Chair and panel expressed their appreciation for her contributions over the years. 2/18 Apologies for absence Apologies were received for Councillor Chris Wright, Councillor Bernadette Khan, John Osborne, Ian Plowright, Yvonne Leslie (GTR). 3/18 Disclosures of interests There were none. 4/18 Minutes of the previous meeting The minutes of the meeting held on Tuesday 17 October 2017 were agreed as an accurate record. Members of the panel reviewed the agenda items of the last meeting: 1) One-day passes and methods of payment for travel The panel noted that publicising one day tram and bus passes would be beneficial for making travel easier. Over 1 million Oyster cards were sold last year, this number could have changed depending on the level of public awareness there was for better ways of travelling. It was also said that some bus passengers travelling through East Croydon were not aware that using the tram stop outside of the station cost the same amount.

  • LIP3 Development Cycle Forum
    LIP3 Development Cycle Forum 26 June 2018 The MTS and the need for a LIP3 The Mayor’s Transport Strategy (MTS) sets out his transport policies and proposals for the next two decades. It seeks to deliver ‘Good Growth’ through the integration of land use and transport, and the provision of a robust and resilient public transport network with an ambitious aim to reduce car use in favour of increased walking, cycling and public transport use. Without this shift away from car use, London cannot continue to grow sustainably. A shift from car use to more space- efficient travel also provides the only long-term solution to the road congestion and gridlock that threatens London. Boroughs are required to set out their proposals for implementing the MTS in their area through the Local Implementation Plan (LIP). It is a legal requirement under the GLA Act 1999 for boroughs to prepare a LIP “as soon as reasonably practicable” after the Mayor has published his transport strategy. The LIP3 document will be a 5+ year local transport plan for the borough and in it we will need to outline our local transport objectives, targets and the schemes we intend to deliver in order to meet the Mayor of London’s transport outcomes. Croydon receives approximately £3.5 million in LIP funding from TfL each year with the opportunity to bid for additional grant funding from specific funding pots. Previous MTS The previous Mayor’s Transport Strategy (MTS) vision and goals: Goals: • Supporting economic development and population growth • Enhancing the quality of life for
