INTRODUCTION This document is part of the C-LIEGE project, whose overall goals are to develop, test and transfer experiences of successful soft measures and tools in the area of urban freight lower pollutant emissions. In support of these goals, Work Package 5 is responsible for transport (UFT) that will reduce urban freight traffic, delivering related energy savings and developing and implementing innovative measures in seven pilot cities. An essential element of the C-LIEGE project is for pilot cities to draw up Local Freight Development Plans (LFDPs). These Plans are being produced, not just because they are a project obligation, but because they are essential tools to guide the work of local Freight Quality Partnerships and the selection of ‘soft’ measures to be implemented. The purpose of this Deliverable is to report on the LFDPs that have been produced at the various pilot sites. The document includes relevant extracts from pilot site LFDPs followed by a short summary. LFDPs should set out goals to be achieved (based on an analysis of problems identified) and the measures necessary to meet those goals. They should take into account the views of the Freight Quality Partnership and the City Logistics Manager and they should help inform the work programme of the FQP and of the CLM. LFDPs should be consistent with other local transport and economic strategies and should enjoy some form of official or political endorsement, confirming the local administration’s backing for the Plan. Most importantly, LFDPs should be informed by the C-LIEGE project and by the various products and outputs arising out of C-LIEGE. They should help to address the short- and long-term objectives of the C-LIEGE project. As is clear throughout this document, most pilot site LFDPs would not have come about without the influence of C- LIEGE. Even when LFDPs already existed (as in Newcastle) they have been significantly informed by C-LIEGE. As traffic patterns change and new developments are constructed, so the LFDP needs to reflect this. This means that LFDPs should be ‘living’ documents. They should not be produced and then filed away but constantly reviewed and updated in light of changing circumstances affecting freight movement. Deliverable D5.2 Page 3 of 100 30/09/2013 2. METHODOLOGICAL APPROACH A careful methodological approach has been followed to ensure LFDPs are produced in a structured way that is informed by the C-LIEGE process yet is also sensitive to the local needs of each pilot site. This approach can be outlined as follows: 1 In some instances, broad transport and freight strategies have already been set out and agreed in strategy documents that pre-date C-LIEGE (e.g. Newcastle, Leicester, Emilia- Romagna, etc.). 2 C-LIEGE practices and materials were used to ‘fine-tune’ the above broad strategies, where appropriate. 3 General guidance was issued by Newcastle to pilot sites through C-LIEGE setting out how to establish Freight Quality Partnerships and draw up Local Freight Development Plans. 4 Particular local challenges at pilot sites were identified through input from Freight Quality Partnerships, other stakeholders and feedback from local Round Tables. 5 Taking into account the feedback identified under 4) above, the following C-LIEGE documents were then used to assist in drawing up LFDPs: a) Guidelines for the Development of Urban Freight Mobility Plans (Deliverable 4.1) b) Minimum Requirements for the Production of Local Freight Development Plans (WP5) 6 A range of measures to deliver the goals of the LFDPs were identified and consulted on, most of which were derived from the C-LIEGE Toolbox (Deliverable 4.2). 7 This toolbox was in turn based on the Good Practices Database produced under WP2 The final result has been a range of Plans that are influenced at every stage by the C-LIEGE approach whilst at the same time are tailored to local conditions at each pilot site. Throughout the process, Newcastle (as WP leader) has been available to offer advice and Deliverable D5.2 Page 4 of 100 30/09/2013 training to pilot site colleagues. In some cases, advice has also been received from other mentor sites (such as Leicester). As examples of the training/mentoring undertaken: • Newcastle has visited Szczecin and Leicester to provide advice on FQP development and pilot measures; • Leicester has provided Malta with advice on establishing an FQP and insights on the LFDP; • Newcastle have provided details of our online freight mapping to Montana; • Newcastle have provided details of our Multi-Modal Carbon Calculator to all partners; • KLOK has been advising Montana and Szczecin with regard to RegLog good practice, as well as lessons learned in the Stuttgart region. To conclude, the pilot site LFDPs outlined in the following chapters are all the result of a thorough process drawing on a combination of: • Newcastle’s advice and expertise (based on the work of the Tyne and Wear Freight Partnership); • C-LIEGE resources produced under WP2, WP4 and WP5; • Local knowledge and feedback from FQPs/Round Tables at pilot sites. C-LIEGE has been absolutely fundamental to this process and without C-LIEGE, most of the positive measures outlined in this document would not have taken place, or would have been implemented in a much less cohesive form.

With a long history, dating back to Roman times, and a spectacular setting above the River Tyne gorge, Newcastle serves as the regional capital for a population of over two million people across North East England and is a major generator (and receiver) of goods traffic. Newcastle’s Local Freight Development Plan comprises two elements, the Local Transport Plan and the annual Business Plan of the Tyne and Wear Freight Partnership. The former document was drawn up in 2010-11 and thus the broad strategies it outlines pre-date the C- LIEGE project. The Freight Partnership’s annual Business Plans for 2012/13 and 2013/14 are directly influenced by the experience and guidance of the C-LIEGE project. Both documents are outlined below. Local Transport Plan 2011-21 This region-wide document explains how we intend to improve our local transport system, covering all the forms of transport that are used to move people and goods around Tyne and Wear. It is introduced by the Chair of the regional Integrated Transport Authority (ITA), who is an elected politician, and has been formally approved by the ITA.
