The Local Transport Plan 2 (LTP2) sets out what transport-related improvements we are aiming to achieve over the next five-year period. The current LTP covers the period 2001-2006 and was the first plan written following the introduction of the LTP system by the Government in the year 2000.

The LTP explains broadly how the authority will meet the needs of the community in terms of better transport. This goes beyond simply increasing the capacity of the road network, but shows how we will make jobs, education, health and other services more accessible by a range of transport modes, and how we will ensure people can move safely around the conurbation.

Better transport can have wide ranging benefits by reducing  ‘social exclusion’ that results from poor access to basic services, contributing towards economic growth, improving the quality of life in our settlements and maintaining and enhancing the quality of the natural environment. There are of course many negative effects of transport such as the frustration caused by congestion, the effect of pollution from traffic on our health, and the visual clutter that can sometimes result from transport schemes.

The LTP sets out a transport strategy that takes these complex issues into account, and contains a set of targets that enables us to measure whether we are achieving the aims of the strategy as the plan is implemented.

The LTP is also used by the Government to determine how much funding we receive to implement future transport schemes and initiatives.

Our progress towards meeting our transport targets is published every year in our LTP ‘Annual Progress Reports’.

The 'Local Delivery Report' (LDR) gives an account of what has been achieved during the first five year period 2001 - 2006 in the South East Dorset area. It can be viewed and downloaded here.

The Final South East Dorset Local Transport Plan 2006-2011 was submitted to Government, in accordance with the Department for Transport’s guidance, in March 2006.

All Bournemouth’s Public Libraries have free access to broadband Internet and staff who will be happy to assist you in viewing and downloading the documents.
