The Ltp Is A Statutory Planning Document Which The Council Is Required To Produce In Line With The Transport Act 2000 And Local Transport Act 2008. The Ltp Sets Out Strategies For Improving Transport Networks, Identifies Projects For Investment And Plans How Key Objectives Will Be Achieved.

Luton Council Is About To Embark On The Development Of Its Fifth Local Transport Plan (ltp5) And Is Seeking To Appoint A Consultant To Develop This Document And Supplementary Integrated Impact Assessment (iia) And Quantifiable Carbon Reduction (qcr) Tool To Support This.

The Appointed Consultant Will Lead And Manage All Technical Work Associated With Developing The Ltp5, Iia And Qcr. In Doing So They Will Produce A Document (and Suite Of Technical Assessment Documents Associated With The Iia And Qcr) That Will Become Adopted Council Policy. The Final Ltp5 Will Act As The Touchstone For All Strategic Decisions Pertaining To Local Transport In Luton.
