Environment & Transport Labour is fully committed to building a modern transport system and will work with the business community through the Solent Local Enterprise Partnership to secure our fair share of government investment to fund it. During 2018/19 we will review and consult extensively on a new Local Transport Plan for the City and surrounding areas. We will continue to increase spending on our roads and maintain our commitment to freeze or reduce parking charges. We will continue to implement our bold five year programme to deliver Labour’s Cycle Strategy. Labour will introduce a new enforcement team – one that is more joined up – to tackle environmental concerns and enforce existing laws to keep the city clean. We will work with a range of partners to spruce up Southampton and invest in the necessary equipment to get the job done. Sustainable Living Labour will bring in the Clean Air Zone by 2019 with charges for coaches, buses, HGVs and taxis that don’t meet emission standards. We will no longer licence any diesel taxis by 2023. We will ensure the availability of at least 100 Electric Vehicle charge points across the city by 2020. We will continue to work with partners including Associated British Ports to deliver Shore Power to Southampton and help reduce air pollution from local ships in port. We will start work on rolling out a ‘green wall’ across the boundary of the docks and explore further locations along busy roads. We are fully committed to 100% renewable energy supplied to all Council buildings. The council's new energy company will reinvest its profits into alleviating fuel poverty and, over time, introduce a low cost renewable tariff. 12 | P a g e

Places like Southampton are vibrant, diverse, modern, ambitious, and so much more because of the flourishing culture and artists they produce. Culture is becoming the beating heart of our city; we have art organisations helping to run our local libraries and working with our young offenders to help reduce reoffending. From the arrival of Studio 144 in Southampton’s emerging Cultural Quarter, to hosting mass sporting events and making physical activity more accessible, Labour is committed to ensuring culture is for everyone. 13 | P a g e
