  1. Presentation to Totnes Town Council 5 November 2012 John Fewings

  2. John Fewings Principal Engineer – Jacobs Engineering Technical Advisor to the Totnes on the Move Community Board

  3. Background - LSTF • Fund was created by the DfT to help build strong local economies and address the urgent challenges of climate change • Bid submitted by DCC in April 2011 • Devon bid successful in July 2011 • LSTF gives DCC the ability to borrow extra funding, which is then reimbursed by the DfT

  4. Devon LSTF Areas Three areas have been selected because: “they are the fastest growing areas and have congestion problems to address. They also have a relatively strong transport network with the greatest potential for major modal shift, transformational economic growth and quick wins within the project period.”
