Transport for South East Strategy PDF 103 KB For the Economy, Transport & Environment Select Committee to pre-scrutinise a report regarding Transport for the South East’s Proposal to Government to establish a statutory sub national transport body for the South East, to be known as Transport for the South East (TfSE). This will be considered at Cabinet on 14 July 2020. Additional documents: Minutes: Councillor Forster declared an interest
as an advisor to Central and Local Government on Electric Vehicle
Charging (EVC)
The County Council had been proactive in
helping to develop TfSE’s
Transport Strategy which was based on sound evidence and applied a
clear methodology. The strategy
provided a strong economic, social, and environmental policy
framework for future transport planning up to 2050 and, was
therefore considered appropriate to adopt into the County
Council’s own policy framework, alongside the Hampshire Local
Transport Plan.
Members queried when investment may start to
be received and whether bids were required and it was confirmed
that some funding had already been received from the Department for
Transport (DfT) for development of the
strategy. Funding for large schemes would be a competitive process
against other national transport bodies. |

Recycling and Single Materials Recovery Facility Update PDF 8 KB For the Economy, Transport & Environment Select Committee to pre--scrutinise the proposals regarding the work undertaken through the Hampshire Waste Partnership programme in the context of the recently reintroduced Environment Bill and the impact that this will have on waste management in Hampshire. The report updates on the work done to review potential collection systems and consider the implications of these on the waste and recycling infrastructure. The report provides information on the various infrastructure options, the associated financial implications of the options and how they fit the expected legislative changes that are coming forward and will be considered at the Decision Day of Executive Member of Economy, Transport and Environment on 2 July 2020. Additional documents: Minutes: Councillor Martin Tod declared an
interest as a portfolio holder for waste management at Winchester
City Council
he officer summarised the
report, highlighting the work that had been done so far and
subsequent modelling. Investigations so far had speculated that a
single MRF would cost the County Council around £4.6million
for the remainder of the contract, and therefore it was felt
necessary to look at other options alongside the MRF, which were
detailed within the report (paragraph 36) and drawn to Members
attention. A good working relationship with District and Borough
Council’s was crucial in identifying the best way
forward.

Covid-19 and the Hampshire Economy PDF 1 MB To receive a presentation from the Assistant Director for Economic Development on the impacts of Covid-19 on the Hampshire economy. Minutes: The Select Committee received a presentation
from the Assistant Director for Economic Development on the impact
of the Covid-19 outbreak on the Hampshire economy and
recovery.
More recently, export and
freight had started to recover and Southampton Airport was offering
some domestic flights. Many visitor attractions also had plans to
reopen, which was a positive development.
It
was important that small businesses continued to be supported and
buying local was also more important than ever in driving demand
for Hampshire businesses. In the longer term, capital projects will
contribute to rebuilding the economy and recovering from the
pandemic. The Select Committee thanked the Assistant Direct for Economic Development and his team for their work.
