Background:

This report set out details of the development of the Local Transport Plan (LTP3) following amendments to the provisional plan as part of the public consultation carried out during the summer of 2010.

The Local Transport Plan formed part of the Council’s policy framework and set out Medway’s transport strategy for the next 15 years. In addition, it was also a mechanism to obtain significant funding to deliver transport projects.

Details of the consultation process undertaken was given and Appendix 2 to the report provided a summary of the responses. The report also provided an analysis of government announcements since the Cabinet had approved a provisional version of the plan for consultation purposes in April 2010.

The report recommended a framework and funding allocation for a four year investment programme which would become the key element of the LTP3 Implementation Plan 2011 - 2015.

The Regeneration, Community and Culture Overview and Scrutiny Committee had considered the report on 10 February 2011 and their recommendations were set out in an addendum report.

A Diversity Impact Assessment had been undertaken and the screening form was attached at Appendix 4 to the report. It was noted that no issues had been identified that required any further action as the LTP had covered all aspects of the DIA process.
