CABINET 11 JULY 2005 - ITEM 4

Draft Hampshire Local Transport Plan (2006-11)

Supplementary Note: Comments of the Environment Policy Review Committee 23 June 2005

The Environment Policy Review Committee considered this report on the 23 June 2005, and after a full and wide-ranging debate the following points were supported for submission to the Cabinet. The Committee generally supported the proposed draft second Local Transport Plan (LTP), but suggested two particular changes for Cabinet to consider.

1) The Committee considered that the draft LTP should set out a clearer and more imaginative and aspirational longer term vision for transport in Hampshire, not limited to the emphasis of current LTP guidance, as a context for, and influence upon, the immediate policies, programmes and targets set out in the Plan being submitted;

2) The Committee considered that there should be clearer and stronger reference to the need for the existing infrastructure deficit to be addressed, and for the future growth envisaged in the South East Plan, to be clearly and explicitly conditional upon additional infrastructure investment in Hampshire, including a significant contribution to transport.
