MAKING THE CASE FOR CHANGE

 Assembled evidence of “now”

• Economic, traffic and environmental

performance  Confirmed constraints

• Planning and environmental

 Gathered the evidence for the “future”

• Strategic economic plans, population and

economic growth, housing need, planned transport interventions  Produced (in draft) four tiers of reporting

• Case for Change – 20 pages
• Technical Report – c.100 pages
• Technical Annex – c. 350 pages
• Web-portal – data that would not fit in the

quietest section

• 260,000 AADT on

busiest section  Wide range of speeds during the day

• 720,000 flights per

year

• 110 million passenger

movements per year

 The long list.

ROUNDTABLE 1

1. Have we missed anything? 2. Are we including too many interventions?

16

 Objectives and achievements

ROUNDTABLE 2

1. Have we captured the right objectives for the study? 2. Are we assessing them properly? 3. Does the scoring system work when you have a package?

17

 Packaging and scoring

STAKEHOLDER HOMEWORK

 By the end of May the Project team will

• Provide a finalised long list
• Provide a packaging and scoring sheet

 By the end of June the Stakeholders are asked to

• Fill in 0-10 against objectives
• Generate your own package(s) to identify

interventions you feel have a role

• Score your package(s) against the
• bjectives

18

 Questions the facilitators need to answer.

SUMMARY OF ROUNDTABLE 2

 Are the objectives understood and do any need rewording?  Have we missed any objectives? Why are they important for the M25SWQ study?  Is the 0-10 range appropriate for objectives?  Can the package be scored using the 7 point scale?
