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 Council’s objectives, implementation plans and targets for transport in Wiltshire. 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 Council 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. Electronic copies of the LTP1, its associated Action Plans and the APRs are available from the Transport Development Services Group (see Contact Details below)
The second Wiltshire LTP (LTP2) covers the period 2006/07 – 2010/11. was published in March 2006. The first formal progress report dealing with the LTP2 was produced in December 2008 (an informal progress report was published in July 2007).
The third Wiltshire LTP (LTP3) will be published by March 2011 at the latest. As a first step towards developing the LTP3, a Consultation Issues Paper has been produced which is available from the Publications page - further details on the development of the Wiltshire LTP3 will be posted here as soon as possible.
Copies of the latest Progress Reports, 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.
