Decision details

This report summarises the TfL funded integrated transport investment programme for 2012/13. Eighteen projects are proposed totalling £1.988 million under three programme areas; Corridors, Neighbourhoods and Smarter Travel.

The purpose of the schemes is to help meet the Transport Plan (LIP) objectives of improving access to the borough’s regeneration areas, improving the efficiency of the road network , improve the quality of our streets and air quality, make it easier for everyone to gain access to transport, control parking spaces fairly for residents and businesses and reduce the numbers of people killed and injured on our roads.

The funding has been provided specifically for these purposes by Transport for London and will be designed to give maximum value for money and reduce longer term maintenance costs to the Council . There will be full consultation on the details of schemes with residents, businesses and road user groups and schemes will only be supported if they have broad local support.
