Overview & Scrutiny Area: Environment & Waste Management
1. SUMMARY 1.1 This report outlines progress made in developing and delivering the third West
Yorkshire Local Transport Plan (LTP) during its third year of operation, with a specific focus on Bradford elements of the Plan, and the development and initial delivery of the second LTP Implementation Plan.
2. BACKGROUND 2.1. The third West Yorkshire Local Transport Plan (LTP), which covers the years from
2011 to 2026, was approved by the then West Yorkshire Integrated Transport Authority (ITA) in March 2011.
2.2. The objectives of the plan are as follows:
• To improve connectivity to support economic activity and growth in West Yorkshire and the Leeds City Region
• To make substantial progress towards a low carbon, sustainable transport system for West Yorkshire, while recognising transport's contribution to national carbon reduction plans.
• To enhance the quality of life of people living in, working in and visiting West Yorkshire
2.3. To focus delivery of the Plan it has been split into 3 year Implementation Plans, the first of which spanned April 2011 to March 2014 with the second covering the period between April 2014 and April 2017.
Progress on Implementation Plan 1
2.4. Progress on the Integrated Transport capital schemes that have been, or are being, implemented by the Council is shown in Appendix 1. Highway Asset Management programmes are set on an annual basis and in recent years have been set by the Executive or the local Area Committees as appropriate in accordance with the delegation arrangements previously agreed. The general approach to Highways Asset Management is the subject of a future report to this Committee.
2.5. Further information about the work that has been undertaken in Bradford during
2013/14 through the LTP and a number of related funding streams is provided at Appendix 2.
LTP Implementation Plan 2
2.6 The development of the second Implementation Plan during 2013 was set in the
context of uncertainties related to the Government’s redirection of 44% of LTP Integrated Transport Funding to the Single Local Growth Fund which was the subject of a bidding process. An Interim Implementation Plan 2 of the Local Transport Plan was therefore developed during 2013 and approved by the ITA in January 2014 to allow delivery of the Plan to commence in April 2014. This Interim Implementation Plan is now being updated in the context of the Single Local Growth Fund allocation announcement made in July 2014.
2.7 More details of the funding announcement on the Single Local Growth Fund and its impact on Bradford’s strategic transport investment priorities will be provided in a report to the next meeting of this Committee.
2.8 It should be also be noted that recent changes in the way that the DfT calculate
annual Integrated Transport funding paid to authorities will result in West Yorkshire receiving approximately £2m less each year (£13m rather than £15m) than the level of funding previously expected for future years (from 2015/16). This is because one part of the formula the DfT uses has changed to reflect numbers of casualties per kilometre of road rather than absolute numbers of casualties. This generally disbenefits the Metropolitan areas and other conurbations and favours more rural authorities. It should be stressed that this may not necessarily impact on the overall Safer Roads spend across West Yorkshire as this is determined at a local level from the available funding.
2.9 The Interim Implementation Plan 2 is now at the early stage of delivery across the
following themes:
• Assets
• Network Management
• Information
• Cycling and Walking
• Integrated Public Transport
• Safer Roads
• Bids and Leverage
• Low Carbon Fuels and Technologies
• Other (feasibility, monitoring and evaluation) 2.10 Details of the individual projects and programme areas included in the Interim
Implementation Plan are contained in Appendix 3. The main change to the Plan affecting Bradford is that a scheme for Bradford City Centre Variable Message Car Park Signing is now proposed to be included in the final Implementation Plan as this is a key project that is not being funded through the Single Local Growth Fund.
2.11 The Plan is still in the early stage of delivery but projects already completed or
initiated in Bradford include:
� The low carbon fuels and technologies funding allocation has been used to match a £46k DEFRA Grant and funding from the Bradford Institute of Health Research to deliver an air quality and behaviour change research project in partnership with the Bradford Health Research Institute (BIHR). The funding will provide a two year post for a researcher and recruitment is underway.
� The same funding stream is also being utilised to fund a West Yorkshire Low
Emission Zone feasibility study which is an extrapolation of the current Bradford/Leeds work. Modelling work has started and it is expected that the study will be completed by spring 2015.
• A further £50,000 of LTP funding was allocated to Bradford in September to install five charge points at partner organisations across the district. Key facilities at the The University of Bradford, Bradford District Care Trust and Airedale General Hospital will benefit from the funding enabling staff, visitors and fleet vehicles to charge up. The installations are due to be completed by March 2015.
3. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Other Transport Issues
Bradford Interchange & Forster Square Station
3.1 A Project Board and working groups with officers from the Council, Metro, Network Rail and Northern Rail have been established to develop short, medium and long term interventions that will ultimately transform Bradford Interchange and Forster Square so that they reflect their status as major gateways to a Regional City. A scheme to improve pedestrian and cycling links, as well as the urban environment, between the stations themselves, and their connections to the City Centre, is currently being implemented. A funding allocation to provide improvements to ‘Gateway’ stations across West Yorkshire including the Interchange and Forster Square has been included in the West Yorkshire Plus Transport Fund with the intention of levering in other funding. To inform this potential investment Masterplans have been developed for Bradford Interchange and Forster Square Station. More information on these will be provided in a future report to this Committee.
Local Pinch Point Fund
3.2 The Council submitted a successful bid for £2.665m support from the £170m DfT Local Pinch Point Fund for junction improvements at Canal Road / Stanley Road. This bid required a 30% contribution to be made from local sources and Executive agreed to allocate £1.143m from the Capital Plan to support this scheme. The DfT funding will allow this scheme to be implemented as the first significant phase of the Canal Road Improvements proposed in the ‘West Yorkshire Plus’ Transport Fund core package. Delivery of the scheme has commenced with the first phase being the extension of a culvert under Canal Road.
Air Quality 3.3 The impact of transport on Air Quality and consequential health issues is of
increasing concern. The District has four declared Air Quality Management Areas and a large number of other locations are thought to be at or close to exceedance levels. Particulate air pollution has been assessed as is responsible for 5.3% of all deaths in the Bradford district.
3.4 The UK is currently facing infraction proceedings from the EU due to failure to meet
air quality targets. It is expected that the case will soon be referred to the European Court of Justice and the UK could be subsequently fined approximately £300 million or receive ‘unlimited’ fines. The new Localism Bill leaves specific provision for the
‘passing on’ of fines seen to be as a result of the actions or inactions of the Local Authority.
3.5 The health impact of air quality on the Bradford population and the potential of fines
being imposed by the EU are a serious concern to the Council and the importance of encouraging more sustainable modes of travel and addressing congestion issues that impact on air quality cannot be overstated. A Low Emission Strategy (LES) for Bradford has already been developed and was adopted in November 2013 (the 2nd in the UK). The Council is now managing and chairing development of a West Yorkshire LES which should be completed in early 2015. With the support of DEFRA grants and Local Transport Plan funding other initiatives are being developed across West Yorkshire to help address this important issue as outlined earlier and below.
3.6 The Council recently submitted a bid to DEFRA to fund equipment to fit 25 buses
which operate in the District with equipment to clean up their emissions and was awarded the full sum requested (£394,998). The possibility of submitting further bids to fund infrastructure to support Low Emission Vehicles through OLEV funding is also currently being considered. These work streams are reported to the Health and Well Being Board in Bradford
Strategic Transport Priorities and West Yorkshire Plus Transport Fund
3.7 A number of other issues relating to Bradford and West Yorkshire wide strategic transport priorities including the West Yorkshire Plus Transport Fund, the Calder Valley Line, links to Leeds Bradford Airport, HS2 and West Yorkshire Bus Strategy will be considered in a report to this Committee at a future meeting.
4. FINANCIAL & RESOURCE APPRAISAL 4.1 The measures being undertaken by the Council and its partners through the Local
Transport Plan are being delivered from the Capital and Revenue funding and staff resources available.
5. RISK MANAGEMENT AND GOVERNANCE ISSUES 5.1 Both the Council and the WYCA have well developed performance management
processes to manage risk in a timely and effective manner. The programmes included in this report are subject to these processes.
6. LEGAL APPRAISAL 6.1 The programmes of work identified in this report are being implemented through the
Council’s role as Highway and Traffic Regulation Authority and the WYCA’s role as Transport Authority
7. OTHER IMPLICATIONS
Fuller details of many of the other implications of LTP3 were considered in an Integrated Sustainability Appraisal (ISA) details of which were provided in the Transport Delivery Plan report to Executive in March 2011. However key points are listed below.
7.1 EQUALITY & DIVERSITY 7.1.1 The public sector equality duty in s149 of the Equality Act applies to the Council in
the exercise of its functions. Those functions will include most, if not all, of the proposals and other measures referred to in this report.
7.1.2 The duty is to "have due regard to the need to (a) eliminate discrimination,
harassment, victimisation and any other conduct that it prohibited by or under [the 2010 Act], (b) advance equality of opportunity between persons who share relevant protected characteristics and persons who do not share it, [and] (c) foster good relations between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it". In summary, this includes the need to remove or minimise disadvantages suffered by persons that are connected to that relevant protected characteristic and taking steps to meet the needs of persons who share a relevant protected characteristic that are different from the needs of persons who do not share it and encouraging persons who share a relevant protected characteristic to participate in public life. It also includes taking steps to take account of disabled persons' disabilities and makes it clear that compliance with the duties "may involve treating some persons more favourably than others".
7.1.3 The duty is ‘to have regard’ which means such regard as is appropriate in the
circumstances. The duty and its effect are wide-ranging and this is also reflected in the definition of relevant protected characteristics which are age, disability, gender reassignment, pregnancy and maternity, race. religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation.
7.1.4 It is evident that all of the schemes and proposals referred to in this report have the
potential to impact on persons who share one or more of the relevant protected characteristics. Some of these were identified in the Integrated Sustainability Assessment (ISA) undertaken on the LTP3 as identified in a report to Executive on 18 March 2011 – Transport Delivery Plan 2011/12 (Paragraphs 9.1.2 to 9.1.7).
7.1.5 The factors considered in the ISA are narrower than the definitions of relevant
protected characteristics in s149 and the duty under that section itself. Due to the nature of this report it is not possible to provide any form of detailed equality impact assessment of specific schemes. However, officers will ensure that a specific assessment is carried out as part of the preparatory work for each programme or scheme as appropriate and, as far as practicable, is taken into account in the design of each scheme with Members being consulted if issues arise which either cannot be addressed, or can only be addressed with difficulty or excessive cost, as part of the programme or scheme.
7.2 SUSTAINABILITY IMPLICATIONS
The ISA considered that there were mixed implications on sustainability with neutral impacts on noise, townscape and landscape, heritage and water. Air quality, material assets, health and the economy would be benefitted by the strategy whilst biodiversity, flora and fauna could suffer minor adverse impacts dependent on the details of the schemes implemented.
7.3 GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS IMPACTS
The ISA suggested that there would be a reduction of CO2 of 19% by 2025 across West Yorkshire with LTP3 proposals (compared with a do-minimum scenario).
7.4 COMMUNITY SAFETY IMPLICATIONS
Safety and Security on the Transport Network is a key consideration for LTP3. One of the key objectives is to ‘deliver an integrated, reliable transport system that enables people and goods to move around as efficiently and safely as possible’. The ISA concluded that there would be benefits from the plan in terms of reducing deaths and injuries from collisions. The LTP Implementation Plans include projects and schemes to improve safety and reduce casualties on the highway network as well as improving personal security on the public transport network.
7.5 HUMAN RIGHTS ACT
Human Rights implications are taken into account in the development of individual schemes.
7.6 TRADE UNION There are no trade union implications 7.7 WARD IMPLICATIONS
The wards in which the measures described in this report are implemented will generally benefit from the improvements. Appropriate consultation has, and will continue, to take place with Ward Members and local communities during the development of individual projects.
8. NOT FOR PUBLICATION DOCUMENTS
None. 9. OPTIONS 9.1 The Committee could support the recommendation that progress on West Yorkshire
Local Transport 3 be noted, feedback be provided to officers and that a further progress report on these issues be submitted in Autumn 2015.
9.2 The Committee could suggest an alternative approach to receiving reports on this
issue.
10. RECOMMENDATIONS 10.1 That progress on West Yorkshire Local Transport 3 be noted and feedback to
officers be provided by the Committee. 10.2 That a further report on progress on West Yorkshire LTP3 be submitted to this
Committee in Autumn 2015. 11. APPENDICES 11.1 Appendix 1 - WY Local Transport Plan 3 – Implementation Plan 1 (2011 – 2014)

APPENDIX 2
EXAMPLES OF TRANSPORT PROJECTS AND INITIATIVES DELIVERED / COMMENCED IN 2013/14
A2.1 Local Transport Plan – Implementation Plan 1 Schemes
• Completion of a major project to change Saltaire Roundabout to a signal controlled junction to improve safety and provide an enhanced public realm on the edge of the World Heritage Site;
• Completion of the section of the Great Northern Trail between Thornton and Queensbury;
• Bus Lanes implemented (with enforcement cameras) on Woodside Road at Low Moor to speed up bus operations in both directions on this important corridor;
• Casualty reduction and local improvement schemes prioritised by the Area Committees through partnership working with local communities and other stakeholders have continued to be delivered including, amongst many other schemes: traffic calming schemes in Mandale Road, Buttershaw; Duchy Drive Area Heaton; Parry Lane/Lower Lane, Bowling; Broomhill Avenue, Keighley and Long Lane, Harden;
• Traffic signal refurbishments at 13 sites;
• 4 new Variable Message Signs to provide driver information and improve management of the network in the Saltaire area;
• Upgrading of Safety Cameras to improve efficiency;
• Introduction of transport hub elements in Shipley Town Centre;
• Rationalisation of bus shelters on Market Street, Bradford;
• Continuation of development work on Low Moor Rail Station by WYCA and Bradford Council including:
� Receipt of the official certificate of deviation for the proposed new rail
station (required due to non standard track curvature;
� Investigations into additional access and car parking sites to future-proof the parking provision at the station and work on securing other land required for the station;
� Securing Planning permission –the station project currently remains
on course for opening during the December 2015 timetable;
• Resurfacing and reconstruction projects throughout the district, on all types of road as below: -
A Road: 4.5km B & C Road: 4.0km Unclassified Roads: 13.5km
Notable works completed in 2013/14 year included: -
� Resurfacing to failing sections of Hall Ings in Bradford City
Centre; � Road reconstruction to the full length of Town Gate in Wyke; � A new surface provided on B6145 Thornton Road between
Girlington and City Road; � 5 Lane Ends Roundabout in Idle resurfaced; � West Lane, Keighley resurfaced between Oakworth Road and
North Dean Road.
• Street lighting improvements have been made across the District as follows:
Constituency Area Ward Road Bradford East Bolton and Undercliffe Grove House Road LED Bolton and Undercliffe Myers Lane LED Bowling and Barkerend Burras Road LED Bowling and Barkerend Thurley Road LED Idle and Thackley Town Lane, Idle Bowling and Barkerend Broad Lane, Laisterdyke Eccleshill Rowanberry Close LED
Eccleshill Whitebeam Walk LED Bradford West City Brownroyd Street LED Manningham/City Midland Road Clayton and Fairweather Lane Ends Close LED Toller Toller Lane Clayton and Fairweather The Avenue, Clayton Bradford South Wyke Roydsdale Way
Wibsey Rooley Avenue Royds Farfield Avenue Shipley Baildon Green Road, Baildon Bingley The Drive, Crossflatts Shipley Kendall Avenue Bingley Rural Main Road, Denholme
Bingley Rural Hallows Park Road
Cullingworth LED Keighley Worth Valley Providence Lane
The lighting schemes implemented this financial year have utilised LED light sources where possible and these have been indicated on the above schedule. There are significant energy savings on these units and also a reduction in the maintenance required - potentially not requiring any
reactive maintenance for 12-15 years. The use of LEDs also allows the reduction of the lighting levels in residential areas due to the white light emitted providing better colour rendering. The LEDs also ensure that the light is directed to where it should be on the carriageway and footway. Many of the schemes are also replacing old trolley poles and overhead supplies which cause significant maintenance issues affecting large numbers of lights when there are high winds and interference with highway trees.
• Significant highways structures schemes completed include:
� Brunthwaite Culvert
� Highfield Road Retaining Wall � Bolton Road Retaining Wall � Little Brook Cottage Wall � Scott Lane Retaining Wall
A wide range of other structural work was undertaken including further progress on the Primary Road Network (PRN) and non-PRN wall strengthening programme. In 2013/14 the focus was on the A647 Scarlet Heights, Queensbury, B6160 Bolton Road Wall & Stump Hill Burr Wall (Tour de France Route) and B6143 Minor maintenance works carried out at various locations.
A2.2 Leeds Rail Growth Package (Apperley Bridge Station)
Construction of the new station started in summer 2014 and the station will open in 2015.
A2.3 Cycle City Challenge (City Connect) / Walking for Health
WYCA, Leeds City Council and Bradford Council were successful in securing £18.052m to support the construction of a high quality cycle route from the east of Leeds to Bradford City Centre together with associated traffic management measures in the corridor and towpath improvements between Armley and Shipley. A further funding bid secured £250,000 for walking encouragement and engagement activities in the corridor. Designs for the cycle routes are being consulted upon and further design work is underway. Completion is due by mid 2015. More details of this major project will be provided in the report on the District’s Cycling Strategy which is to be considered by this Committee early in 2015.
A2.4 Local Sustainable Transport Fund (LSTF) Schemes
• Completion of cycling links from local communities to the Shipley – Bradford Cycle Route that is currently partly constructed with a ‘missing’ section to be delivered shortly (with the support of Public Health funding) once issues relating to contaminated land are addressed
• Improvements to cycle links between the Learning Quarter and the University Management Centre on Emm Lane
• Cycling promotion activities at Bradford College and University
• A further award from the LSTF of £300k across West Yorkshire has secured the following:
o Further funding for the go:cycling adult cycle training
programme o Mass participation events o A regional Cycle to Work Challenge programme
• A further £70k of LSTF money has also been secured for the LSTF Thematic funding stream, Access to Education, to continue a project focusing on engaging staff and students at the university and college.
A2.5 Cycle Safety Fund
The Council was successful in securing £150,000 from the Dft to support a new cycle route between Stockbridge and Utley and the scheme is now substantially complete.
A2.6 Other Cycling Strategy Initiatives A wide range of other initiatives have been delivered in alignment with the
District’s Cycling Strategy including the District’s successful involvement with the Tour de France, cycling skills training and cycling promotion and these will described in the future report on the Cycling Strategy referred to earlier.
A2.7 Congestion Performance Reward Fund Schemes
The remaining funding from this Dft programme has been used to fund the Sustrans ‘Bike It’ officer until June 2014, expand the delivery of Junior SAFEMark workshops to all schools in the Bradford district and outlying areas, and to support Workplace Travel Planning activities.
A2.8 Traffic Light Priority (TLP) for Buses
This West Yorkshire wide scheme originally included the introduction of equipment to provide bus detection for 60 sites in Bradford all of which should be implemented by the end of the current financial year. A further four locations were identified in Bradford where the implementation of TLP is desirable to assist the recently improved 72 bus route and these have also now been implemented.
A2.9 Regional Growth Funding
The successful bid by the Council for (£17.6m) is supporting, amongst many other initiatives, the delivery of City Centre public realm improvements associated with the development of the Westfield shopping centre.
A2.10 Safer Roads Initiatives
Practical Pedestrian Training The practical pedestrian training programme has been delivered in 46 schools with 2300 pupils receiving training. The programme is a positive contribution to health and sustainable travel.
Primary School Plan The Primary School Plan has been delivered in over 56 schools reaching 16,177 children. Priority Area Work
The Road Safety Team has worked with key partners to address road safety casualties in the, Bowling and Barkerend, City, Keighley Central, Bradford Moor, Manningham and Little Horton wards. Activities involving a wide range of partners have focused on community engagement, empowerment and ownership to reduce casualties. Publicity
Drivers, passengers, adult cyclists, motorcyclists and pedestrians are targeted through publicity activities. Press releases, advertising on buses, radio, JC Decaux boards, and leaflets are used to put out key messages related to seat belt wearing, speed, the use of mobile phones, drink driving, distractions and awareness of other road users.
The Road Safety Team work with the other West Yorkshire and Yorkshire and Humber authorities on publicity campaigns and support the Governments ‘Think’ campaigns.
‘Failure to Look’ - targets all road users and is the latest campaign from the West Yorkshire Safer Roads Delivery Group encouraging all road users to share the roads safely and to look out for each other.
A2.11 Workplace Travel Plans
Workplace travel planning remains a key priority in engaging employers and their staff on the benefits of sustainable travel options. The Transport Planning team continue to comment on Travel Plans associated with new developments as well as working with existing employers to ensure that the best possible travel opportunities are made available to staff across the district.
A2.12 Electric Vehicle Charging Points
In June 2013 the Council was awarded £30,000 from the Office of Low Emission Vehicles to install electric vehicle charging points on its own estate. Match funding has been pledged from CBMDC, Keighley Town Council and Baildon Parish Council to install at facilities in local centres. The first
installation (Jacobs Well) was carried out in March with installations at Baildon and Keighley due in November. The charge points will provide charging opportunities for staff, visitors and fleet vehicles using local centres across the district.
A2.13 Smart Ticketing
To date 34,000 Young Person’s Photocards and 32,762 Scholars cards (16-18) have been issued as smartcards. Over 3,800 smart Mcards have been issued to date. In total there are nearly ½ million smartcards in circulation the majority of which are used to hold Concessionary Passes. The gates at Leeds rail station and Bradford Interchange rail station have been converted to ‘read’ annual MCards (smartcards).
Some 800,000 ‘smart’ bus boarding transactions are being recorded each week. This data will be used in future as the basis of operator payments for Concessionary Travel and for the distribution of pre-paid multi operator ticket revenues. The forward plan for the smartcard project envisages weekly and monthly tickets being sold in ‘smart’ form from May 2015. This will require the deployment of a new retail network and operators configuring ticket machines.
