Welcome to the Multi

MULTI-MODAL TRANSPORT STUDY

A453 Nottingham to M1 Junction 24

Welcome to the A453 Multi-modal Transport Study website.

This Study is one of several similar studies being carried out throughout the UK under the remit of Transport Minister as part of the Government’s Integrated Transport policy. The main purpose of this study is to develop a strategy and programme for implementing solutions to the transport problems in the A453 corridor from now until the year 2021. The study process has been designed to provide you with the opportunity to influence the environment in which you either live, work or spend your leisure time.

This Website is dedicated to inform and describe the study's Objectives and Programme and Approach on an ongoing basis. In addition, it provides a brief description of the study team and a forum for viewing electronic copies of all the Newsletters and Reports produced throughout the course of the study.

The department of Transport Local Government and the Regions (DTLR) commissioned by Pell Frischmann (PF) to carry out this study, which has been managed by the Government Office for the East Midlands (GOEM). Close liaison has been maintained with a similar study looking at north / south movements in the M1 Corridor between Sheffield and Leicester. Details of the M1 study can be found by clicking here.

The study has been undertaken in an open forum with consultations at key stages during the process. A key feature has been a series of all day seminars with the study Wider Reference Group, comprising representatives of over 100 local interest groups, agencies and authorities with a bona fide interest in the A453 Corridor. The final seminar took place on 29th May 2002 when study recommendations were presented. The series of seminars was supported by study newsletters, media events and public consultation on emerging options.

The Study's Final Report detailing the recommended Transport Plan has been published and has been available in the Reports section of this website since the beginning of August. Hard copies are available for inspection at the local public libraries, Council offices and through members of the Study Wider Reference group. Copies of the report may be obtained from the Study Team as a bound volume or in electronic format on a CD at a price of £50 per copy.

The East Midlands Regional Local Government Association are now responsible for putting recommendations on the Study findings to the Minister by 26th September.

The main steps in this process comprise:

- Public Consultation through the Wider Reference Group
- 'One to One' meetings with key players, including Local Authorities and transport providing agencies such as the Highways Agency, and the bus operators.
