Transport Policy and Strategy

 

Quick Links

As a member of Sewta, the transport consortium for South East Wales, the Council has played a key role in developing the Regional Transport Plan for South East Wales.

The system of Regional Transport Plans (RTP) being developed by the local government consortia in Wales will support the Welsh Assembly Government’s Wales Transport Strategy, and its National Transport Plan.

The RTP, and the regional modal strategies that support it, will set out the transport policies and projects for the region. The RTP also contains a 5-year programme of transport schemes which will be located within, or will affect, Bridgend County Borough.

The RTP will take effect in April 2010 and will replace the Local Transport Plan (LTP) which was produced by the Council in 2001, and which provided the framework for the development of local transport policies, projects and initiatives.

To support the aims of the LTP, a range of strategy documents was produced along with a series of Annual Progress Reports (APR) to measure progress towards these aims. The following documents are available for download:

 

Walking and Cycling Strategy (English version), 2009

Walking and Cycling Strategy (Welsh version), 2009

Local Area Bus Strategy (LABS), 2003

APR 2004

APR 2005


The key planning document influencing local transport provision is the Unitary Development Plan (UDP).

The UDP was adopted by the Council in 2005 and provides guidance for the future use of land within the county borough. It is set to be replaced by a Local Development Plan, further information on which is available on the planning pages.
