Description

Corsham Town Council's Strategic Plan 2022-2026 has four strategic priorities, one of which is Transport and Highways. The Town Council is seeking proposals from qualified transportation consultants to develop an evidence-based Town Transport Plan for Corsham, Wiltshire. The plan should provide a comprehensive strategy for improving transportation within the town and set out how the Town Council's key transport and highways priorities could be addressed. The priorities are:

• Affordable, well-connected and regular public transport
• Well-maintained roads and routes for walking and cycling
• Lower traffic speeds and improved road safety measures
• Plans in place for new transport infrastructure

The Plan should:

• Define the long-term vision for the transportation system
• Set specific, measurable goals that align with the vision

Project Scope

A detailed assessment of the current transportation infrastructure, including the road network and its performance, cycling and pedestrian facilities, and public transport, paying particular attention to issues experienced by mobility-impaired and disabled people;

An analysis of traffic patterns, congestion points and accident data within Corsham parish, together with an analysis of the way people are travelling to, from and within Corsham parish;

An analysis of the environmental impact of the various modes of transportation; and
An analysis of the issues affecting businesses in Corsham town centre.
Identification of data gaps and proposals for new data that is required.
The solutions considered should include:
Improvements to the road and footpath network;
Improvements to public transport;
