Each London borough is required to develop a Local Implementation Plan (LIP).

This report sets out the timetable and process for the preparation of the Council’s third Local Implementation Plan (LIP3). Once approved by the Mayor, the LIP3 will become a statutory document supporting Brent’s transport improvements and is the main mechanism by which we will seek TfL grant funding to implement the schemes in the delivery plan.

RESOLVED:

      i.        Cabinet noted the timetable and process for preparation of the Brent Council’s LIP3.

    ii.        Cabinet approved the submission of the draft LIP3 to Transport for London (TfL) for their consideration by the 2 November 2018 deadline and approval by the Mayor of London in March 2019.

   iii.        Cabinet delegated authority to the Strategic Director for Regeneration and Environment, in consultation with the Lead Member for Regeneration, Highways and Planning, to make any further minor amendments following comments from Transport for London (TfL) and resubmit for approval in March 2019 or earlier, in February 2019, should substantive changes be required

Councillor Shama Tatler, Cabinet Member for Regeneration, Highways, Planning, introduced the report stating that the current Mayor’s Transport Strategy (MTS) was published on 13 March 2018. She stated that the MTS sets out the Mayor’s plans to transform London's streets, improve public transport and create opportunities for new homes and jobs. To achieve this, the Mayor wants to encourage more people to walk, cycle and use public transport, aiming for 80 per cent of all trips in London to be made on foot, by cycle or using public transport by 2041.

Councillor Tatler stated that each London borough is required to develop a Local Implementation Plan (LIP). The LIP sets out how the borough will deliver the MTS, take forward local transport policies, and target resources and investment to meet the relevant objectives at local level.
