· Joint local Transport Plan 2006 -'11 being prepared
with three other ex Avon authorities and sub Regional forum
established for Heads of Transport and Executive Members. Some
controversial issues will require consultation
· Bristol/Bath to South Coast Study - Executive decision
made to consult and appraise options was subject to "call in"
(later dismissed by the panel)
Main achievements since last
report
· Improvements in car parks (visibility and environmental
changes, police working) have reduced car crime to within 1% of
`0304 target (down 14% on last year). Police have thanked the
Council for the contribution of Parking staff and Community Wardens
in managing this situation.
· Improved Parking management has increased PCN (fines)
revenue
· Passenger Transport review presented to a Joint O&S
panel (PTES, HSS and EYCL) prior to consultation meetings in
August. This review has also become a "headroom project" to release
funds for reinvestment and a bid for external funds will be
submitted
· Legal position regarding use of Council vehicles on
public service routes clarified - initiative to be pursued as part
of Passenger Transport review
· Wellsway reconstruction completed with £2.3m
additional funding above LTP settlement - improving bus
infrastructure and surface quality
· £0.8m external funding from 4+ sources enabled
6.5 km cycle route Bath/Radstock/Frome
· Bus gate review completed and timing changes to be
implemented subject to formal "TRO" process
· Matched funding of £40K obtained for Midsomer
Norton dial a ride scheme
Planned Actions not achieved / issues
outstanding
· A Business case for new transport fleet centre is being
progressed
· Open Top Tour Buses control now dependant on secondary
legislation - likely to be in place Autumn 2004
· LTP will raise some controversial local issues for
consultation
