The Current Major Schemes Programme
Details of our Major Scheme proposals, including costs, timings and whether they are fully or provisionally approved are set out in this section.
We illustrate how each Scheme contributes towards the four themes of the Transport Shared Priority (TSP) and to our own LTP objective of ‘ensuring that the transport system underpins the economic revitalisation of the West Midlands Metropolitan Area’.
The programme has been refined from our 2003 LTP. It takes account of:
- contribution to the strategy
- priorities identified for the West Midlands by the Secretary of State in June 2003
- the indication by the Secretary of State in June 2003 that up to £1 billion could be available for major schemes
- the three themes of our strategy
Each scheme has been subject to peer review and prioritised according to its contribution towards the following criteria:
- regional transport priorities
- local objectives
- the Transport Shared Priority
- regeneration
The deliverability of each scheme has also been assessed, in order to prepare a realistic programme. This process has led to a robust strategy-generated programme of Major Schemes within the financial constraints set by the Secretary of State.
