Transport Context/Evidence Sample Clauses

Transport Context/Evidence. Local: Despite Pennine Lancashire’s close proximity to two of the North’s most economically successful City Regions (Manchester and Leeds) the area has not been able to share in their success. A recent Centre for Cities (2008) report, City Links, found that poor commuter transport networks and weak trade links were stopping wealth from spilling over into Pennine Lancashire. Indeed, just 2.6% and 3.6% of resident employees in Burnley and Blackburn commute to Manchester. Research carried out by Ekosgen (2008), Economic Relationship between Pennine Lancashire and Greater Manchester, found that poor connectivity is the main constraint to greater interaction between the economies of Pennine Lancashire and Greater Manchester. The infrequency of trains reduces the likelihood of many people commuting. Given the scale of the labour market, the numbers commuting in to the City of Manchester (just over 2000) are very low. With a forecast growth of over 90,000 jobs, improving accessibility will need to be a major priority. While road connectivity with northern Greater Manchester and Manchester City centre are adequate, increasing congestion and issues over sustainable development make increasing car borne commuting counter productive, and a threat to the environment. There is a need to link transport planning more effectively to the economic and housing growth policies of the area. The format of the LTP3 (201 -2016+) may change with local authorities being asked to develop an Integrated Transport Strategy with a corresponding implementation plan. The current LTP system focuses Government objectives at a local level and is not conducive to strategic planning across functioning economic areas. As such we are developing an Integrated Transport Strategy and Implementation Plan for Pennine Lancashire, within a wider Lancashire context, as well as developing complementary LTP3 submissions. Pennine Lancashire partners are working together to develop a rapid bus transport system through Pennine Lancashire. Pennine Reach is a proposed dynamic, new bus service designed to improve the public transport network between a number of Pennine towns. The scheme is being jointly promoted by the local highways authorities of Lancashire County Council and Xxxxxxxxx with Darwen Borough Council, the scheme is identified as a priority in RFA1. The Lancashire and Cumbria Route Utilisation Strategy (Network Rail, 2008) acknowledges both the Clitheroe-Manchester and Todmorden Curve schemes as po...
