On a related note, publication of the LTP3 Consultation Issues Paper setting out proposals for the future of transport in Wiltshire has been delayed (link below.)

Question 6

Which of the approaches do you support and why? If you support the ‘Radical Approach’, how does the Council pay for some of the suggested measures (e.g. significant public transport enhancements) without damaging the local economy (e.g. by having to impose high parking charges)? Have we omitted anything significant from the three approaches?

Question 12

Given the difficulty in progressing rail freight policies and the fact that most freight movements in Wiltshire are by road, should the freight strategy be reoriented to focus more on road freight or should the rail policies be more aggressively pursued?

Question 15

Given Wiltshire’s predominantly rural nature and the need to support local businesses, do you think it is appropriate to increase demand management (e.g. parking standards and charges) and traffic management measures (e.g. onstreet parking) in Chippenham, Salisbury, Trowbridge and other large market towns to help encourage the use of sustainable transport modes?

Question 16

Should commuters and/or shoppers be particularly encouraged to use sustainable transport modes by the introduction of higher parking charges?

Question 17

With a limited budget to support public transport services, how can the Council  best respond to continuing above-inflation cost increases? For instance, should funding for public transport be prioritised over other Council services (with possible adverse impacts on delivery)? Should parking charges be increased to provide financial support for public transport (with possible adverse impacts on retail centres)? Or should we accept that public transport services will have to be reduced further? If you think it should be the latter, where should these reductions be made?

Dear Mr Ellis,
 
I would like to apologise for the inconvenience you have been caused. My team has been under a great deal of pressure lately making sure all the content is available for our new Wiltshire Council website. Unfortunately we did not upload this consultation in time. I have personally uploaded the consultation and transport policies, which can be found at:  http://www.wiltshire.gov.uk/parkingtransportandstreets/roadandtransportplans.htm. Alternatively, you can go straight to the LTP3 Consultation by viewing: http://www.wiltshire.gov.uk/ltp3_consultation_issues_paper_electronic_questionnaire.htm.
 
Again, please accept my sincere apologies and I do hope you have an enjoyable experience of using our new website.
 
Kind regards
