What have we done so far?
- At our initial meeting we all put forward ideas we thought the Transport Group might work on, and came up with a list of 9 possible topics.
- Since then we have been educating ourselves about transport, using information such as government publications, e.g. Gear change and Bus back better, Dorset Council Documents e.g Bournemouth, Poole and Dorset Local Transport Plan 3, and sharing knowledge and links between ourselves.
- We contributed to the Dorset CAN Dorset Local Plan consultation submission.
- We are building relationships with Dorset Transport Action Groups, with several group members having joined the Transport Team.
- At our last meeting we debated our list of 9 ideas, and decided to focus on three interrelated ideas - provision of expertise to DC and BCP, contributing to the next Local Transport Plan, and developing local Transport Strategies.
- We are going to work with the Dorset Transport Action Groups and other local groups to extend the coverage of the Purbeck Transport Strategy, using the same consultative survey framework as used by Purbeck Transport Action Group (PTAG).
- The intention is to complement rather than duplicate the work of the existing TAGs.
- No transport expertise required, just interest and enthusiasm for all matters transportwise!
