Transport for South East (TfSE) the Sub-national Transport Body for the South East have published their draft Strategic Investment Plan (SIP) for South East England. This plan provides a framework for investment in strategic transport infrastructure, services and regulatory interventions in the coming three decades.
TfSE purpose is to determine what investment is needed in the South East, to transform the transport system and drive economic growth. It is composed of 16 local authorities, five local enterprise partnerships and representatives of district & borough authorities, protected landscapes and national delivery agencies.
The Strategic Investment Plan proposes a £45 billion plan to improve transport up to 2050. The plan is the culmination of five years of technical work, stakeholder engagement. It sets out the steps to decarbonise the transport system across the region, level-up left-behind communities and facilitate sustainable economic growth in the South East.
The plan highlights that a better transport network can affect profound change – connecting people with jobs and training, helping businesses reach markets, bringing family and friends closer together. It can unlock new housing and jobs and help cut carbon emissions. That’s why investing in transport is not an end in itself. It is an investment in people, in business, in our environment and our shared future.
TfSE would like to hear comments from anyone who lives, works, travels through or visits the South East region.
The SIP has details of packages of work for various transport modes. Ones that appear to directly affect Guildford Borough are listed below. Main impacts appear to be major upgrade on the Rail network, more bus enhancements in Guildford, support for cycling and some work proposed for the A3 mainly north of the town to the M25. The proposal to segregate out Local Traffic from the A3 is of interest
