Local Transport Plan 3 - Worcestershire County Council

As discussed elsewhere in this document, rather than delivering transport schemes in a piecemeal fashion,during the LTP3 plan period, Worcestershire County Council will seek to group transport schemestogether as packages of investment. Packaging investments in a range of modes of transport generallydelivers far greater benefits, and thus increases the value for money and business case for investment. It isvital, therefore, that schemes within each package are integrated such that benefits to the economy,environment and quality of life are maximised. This is critical in an era where Worcestershire will berequired to compete for funding. Each of these packages will be incorporated with a broad area strategy.The three area strategies are identified below, together with the proposed transport investmentpackages.Without contributions from alternative sources, including private sector contributions, many of theschemes and packages identified below will not be deliverable. It will be important, therefore, that theLTP3 is closely aligned with the relevant Local Development Plans and Core Strategies and that newdevelopments are accompanied with appropriate investment in transport infrastructure and services,such that the Worcestershire economy, environment and quality of life are not undermined.
