Local Transport Plan
The Government’s 1998 White Paper on Transport, ‘A New Deal for Transport: Better for Everyone’, introduced the concept of Local Transport Plans (LTP) to steer the development of national transport policies at the local level. The Transport Act 2000 then made it a statutory requirement for local transport authorities to produce LTPs.
The Wiltshire LTP sets out the County Council’s objectives, implementation plans and targets for transport in Wiltshire over a five-year period. Furthermore, as a document developed through partnership working and extensive consultation, the LTP also provides the framework for all other organisations with a direct or indirect involvement in transport in Wiltshire.
Wiltshire’s first full LTP (LTP1), published in July 2000, covered the period 2001/02-2005/06. In each of these years the County Council has produced an LTP Annual Progress Report (APR) which detailed delivery and spending on schemes, and measured progress towards targets. A LTP Delivery report which reviewed the whole LTP1 period was produced in July 2006.
The second Wiltshire LTP (LTP2) covers the period 2006/07 – 2010/11. A provisional LTP2 was produced in July 2005 and was assessed as ‘promising’ by the Government. The County Council sought to build on this position in developing its final LTP2 which was published in March 2006. The first of the progress reports dealing with the LTP2 will be produced in July 2008.
Copies of the APRs, the LTP1 Delivery Report, the LTP2 Strategic Environmental Assessment and other associated documents are available from the Publications page. Hard copies and CD-Roms are also available (at a cost) from the Transportation and Development Group.
