9.45am Feedback from small groups & next steps
10.00am Close Better Bankside's Travel Planning Group started with a well-attended breakfast at the self-same venue in November 2005. Participants contributed enthusiastically to workshops designed to identify key transport issues in the area. This very successful event was repeated in 2006.
Since 2005, the Travel Planning Group has been meeting every six weeks at a variety of local venues. It is delivered in partnership with Southwark Council, as part of their commitment to the Optimum 2 project. Meetings are usually chaired by Barbara Thornhill of the Health & Safety Executive.
Some of its key successes have been a pilot pool bike scheme, an online Travel Resource, featuring an innovate interactive map, the Bankside Travel Plan, which sets ambitious targets for walking and cycling, Bikefest - a programme of measures to encourage cycling, a programme of guided walks, and support for the introduction of car clubs in the area.
The 2008-09 programme seeks to embed the earlier successes in the programme, supporting individual business travel plans, offering ongoing support for cyclists and would-be cyclists, and introducing innovative new travel modes. |
