Adoption of the Tunbridge Wells Borough
Transport Strategy by Kent County Council (KCC).
How the decision relates to BS4K and Corporate Objectives
The Transport Strategy will support the BS4K objectives of Helping
the Kent Economy to Grow and Tackling Disadvantage by managing
congestion in Tunbridge Wells, improving the reliability of journey
times for commuters and freight, improving air quality and
enhancing key public transport links to employment, education and
healthcare.
Impact/costs and risks of proposed decision
The delivery of the improvement measures (schemes) identified in
the Transport Strategy will be heavily dependent on securing
funding contributions from development through the Section 106 and
Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) processes, as KCC’s Local
Transport Plan funding allocation from Central Government is likely
to be under sustained pressure for the foreseeable future.
