Public Statement from Luci Allen (BH Active Travel) on Agenda Item 9 – Our Place and Environment: Local Transport Plan (LTP) Capital Programme 2025/26
As Chair of campaign group BH Active Travel, I would like to thank the sustainable travel officers at BCP Council for their continued engagement with the DfT regarding successful funding applications and delivery of schemes on the ground, for the which the active travel community are grateful.
Following the visit of the two relevant Portfolio Holders to Christchurch last Friday, to join the Bike Bus and witness the safety issues around the Junior School, I trust that Cabinet will today approve the LTP budget and ensure that a substantial proportion of the Travel Safety Measures budget is allocated to the area surrounding the school.
Equally, we would welcome revised cycle infrastructure designs for Barrack Road and Fountain roundabout, developed in readiness for any future funding. Perhaps in the meantime some temporary schemes could be trialled.
