Transport Task + Finish Group

Although there is currently no permanent transport sub-group, a task + finish group was set up in 2011 to identify a programme of local schemes to be delivered using developers contribution funding. The membership of the group includes: East Hampshire District Council, Hampshire County Council, voluntary sector and the East Hants Disability Forum. 

The group agreed a set of criteria to assess schemes that are submitted by members of the public. Once assessed by the group, the list of proposed schemes will be presented to the EHDC Cabinet for final approval. The first round of schemes to be presented to Cabinet will take place in 2012.

Have you got an idea that will improve community access in your area?

East Hampshire District Council is inviting community groups to submit proposals for local transport initiatives that would meet the needs of local people.  Schemes will be appraised through a competitive process and those most likely to be supported will meet some or all of the following criteria:

• Longevity (likely to continue and would not require continuing financial support once completed)                            
• Optimising use of existing assets              
• Innovative                                                                  
• Community Benefit                                      
• Improving transport accessibility                
• Improving access to facilities                                 
• Reducing the impact on the environment  
• Promoting health, wellbeing and/or safety
