The Sub-Committee considered a report which updated Members on the requirements for the preparation of the forthcoming Local Implementation Plan (strategy) document and outlined the current proposals for its preparation and delivery.

 

The 1999 GLA Act required boroughs to prepare a Local Implementation Plan.  A LIP (as it was known) was a long term strategic document setting out how a borough intended to implement that Mayor’s Transport Strategy (MTS) in its area.

 

The final MTS was published in March 2018. Boroughs must submit their LIP’s to TfL as soon as reasonably practicable after the Mayor had published his final Mayor’s Transport Strategy.

 

Havering’s last Local Implementation Plan (2010) set out Havering’s transport objectives, priorities and targets over a 20 year period (the life time of the previous Mayor’s Transport Strategy). The new LIP will span the lifetime of the recently published Mayor’s Transport Strategy up to 2041.

 

Most importantly, the new LIP would provide the opportunity for the borough to promote its wider ‘connections’ ambitions such as improvements in north-south connectivity and the importance of radical interventions at Gallows Corner through the setting out of long term interventions up to the year 2041.

 

The report also advised what the key requirements of a LIP, the Borough’s transport objectives, delivery plan and additional requirements were.

 

TfL required that LIPs were the subject of engagement and consultation with TfL itself and other stakeholders.

 

Havering’s draft LIP (LIP3) must be submitted for consultation with TfL (along with all other consultees) by 2 November 2018.

 

TfL will aim to return comments by 7 December 2018.

 

Boroughs would then have to submit their final LIP for Mayoral approval by 16 February 2019. The Mayor would either approve or fail a boroughs LIP by March 2019.

 

TfL’s aim was for all Local Implementation Plans to be approved by the Mayor and “active” by April 2019.

 

The Sub-Committee noted the contents of the report.
