Consideration was given to the award of Local Sustainable Transport Fund (LSTF) Business Travel Planning Grants, totalling £22,055, in accordance with the Council’s LSTF Business Travel Planning Grant Scheme Policy.
The LSTF business travel planning project directly supports the All Change for Crewe regeneration programme by enabling transport measures which help to unlock the growth potential of Crewe in a low carbon way. Encouraging increased levels of walking and cycling for short local journeys also has associated health and wellbeing benefits
Of those applications recommended for award, the grants are split relatively evenly between capital and revenue expenditure. Capital expenditure (e.g. cycle parking, shower facilities, car share database) totals £11,424. Four applications include revenue expenditure for the purchase of cycling personal protective equipment, publicity, cycle maintenance training and health screening provision – with a revenue value of £10,631.
The LSTF Business Travel Planning Grant Scheme is fully funded by a grant from the Department for Transport and each application has been assessed to ensure it meets the criteria in encouraging employees to walk, cycle, use public transport or car share for their journey to and from work as well as for business travel.
