Hi Jenny,<br />
Loving the weather & nice to hear from you.<br />
On your query below, your assumpti<strong>on</strong> that it is impossible is quite correct. Should<br />
the BRT <strong>scheme</strong>s fail <strong>for</strong> any reas<strong>on</strong> and not come <strong>for</strong>ward <strong>for</strong> Full Approval as<br />
planned, the m<strong>on</strong>ey will remain in the overall budget <strong>for</strong> Local Major Transport<br />
Schemes and will be allocated as required. There are no plans to bring <strong>for</strong>ward any<br />
other local <strong>major</strong> <strong>scheme</strong>s that were not c<strong>on</strong>sidered as part <strong>of</strong> the development pool<br />
process.<br />
I hope this clarifies the positi<strong>on</strong> <strong>for</strong> you.<br />
On a slightly different note – I will be moving to a new post at the beginning <strong>of</strong> June<br />
and will no l<strong>on</strong>ger be working <strong>on</strong> <strong>major</strong> <strong>scheme</strong>s. Your new c<strong>on</strong>tact point here will be<br />
charlie.sunderland@dft.gsi.gov.uk Our paths may still cross though as I’ll be working<br />
<strong>on</strong> envir<strong>on</strong>mental policy <strong>for</strong> High Speed 2!<br />
Best regards,<br />

Hi there<br />
Hope you are well and enjoying the weather!<br />
I d<strong>on</strong>'t know whether you are the right pers<strong>on</strong> to ask but I am trying to clarify <strong>for</strong> a number <strong>of</strong> Bristol<br />
campaigners, whether or not if a bus rapid transit <strong>bid</strong> fails (eg BRT2) that the west <strong>of</strong> England<br />
Partnership can get the m<strong>on</strong>ey switched over to <strong>use</strong> <strong>for</strong> the Bristol Metro.<br />
I have told people that this is impossible but they say that the WoE could swing it if they wanted to. I<br />
have said that the m<strong>on</strong>ey would go back to L<strong>on</strong>d<strong>on</strong> so to speak, but the campaigners say that it could<br />
be transferred to <strong>rail</strong>. Could you please enlighten. I think some councillors could also benefit from<br />
clarificati<strong>on</strong>.<br />
Many thanks and best wishes<br />
