FREE TRAINING available to NH Municipal Association members to Apply for Federal Grants for Your Community’s Infrastructure Needs Act Today! Registration ends May 15th. The trainings are designed for small to mid-size municipalities, and no prior grant-writing experience is necessary. Communities that participated in the trainings have collectively secured more than $200 million; we know this program works and has helped numerous local governments secure needed resources. The trainings focus on grants in the following areas: bridge investments; railroad crossing improvements and safety improvements; solid waste infrastructure for recycling; brownfields; and removing transportation that increases connectivity in communities. Space is limited 50 New Hampshire municipalities. NLC plans to run additional rounds of the program in the future that will focus on other types of grants, but the classes this spring will be focused on these types of grants.

Interestingly on East-West Rail there's a discussion group/similar facilitated in early February and we have not even been invited. Our focus is Bedford-East Coast Main Line (ECML) at Tempsford. We want East of Bedford via St John's believing it not to be a panacea, but a least costly, most flat landed and simple to reinstate a railway tahn Northern Route E or avoiding Bedford altogether at Wixams for example. If you support our stance, please either join BRTA https://lnkd.in/d7ARn7y or encourage supporters to join our free email loop via richard.erta@gmail.com We are in transition from ERTA to BRTA but some technical aspects are to take longer than simple name changes, so please bear with us and do not get confused. Our public transport is under attack and in some disarray and things can either spiral up positively or spiral down to closure or irrelevance. It is a value-priority choice. There is no money, yet HS2 goes on guzzling public money and £27 billion new roads budget was found whereas (environmental alarm bells!) the Rail Reopenings Fund was set at a mere £500 million, is that fair or what the country needs (land take)? Everyone has cars, but we do need more choice. Take A428/A1 Black Cat-Caxton Cambridge dualling for example... where will the traffic go on reaching urban interfaces which are congested a lot of the time? Town and City Centres like Bedford and Cambridge lack the capacity of road space, being a built environment, to cater for the inevitable increases in traffic the wider road-space will engender. So without a rail alternative, it will be pollution and mayhem and that has a cost to it. I wish the council was working closer with me as an observer-advisor who has been on East-West Rail since 1986! Oxford-Milton Keynes is reaching end game, Bedford-Cambridge needs sorting to continue the works necessary to get it done in a timely manner. I feel some works could be combined with other rails upgrades as per the 4-tracking at Addenbrookes/Cambridge South Station which East-West Rail services are due to call en-route to Cambridge City and onwards to Norwich and Ipswich respectively and vice versa. That is why to benefit, it must call at Bedford urban interface, not orbit the town. Reversal at Bedford Midland with a single through track for more freight from east-north and vice versa and west-north as well, is also needed. Can it be done on existing tracks? That is the question. Can a Northampton-Bedford Thameslink (new-build) arm be done with existing tracks too? That is what should also be being studied alongside new stations north of Bedford beit Oakley, Sharnbrook and a new all stations service Watford-Bedford semi-fast and Bedford-Leicester/Corby all under the wires. #rail #railways #transport #infrastructure #trains #stations #lines #dft #networkrail #government #bedford #environment #publictransport

Thanks GHD, Maurice and Brad for hosting a really good event, and to the Panel members for asking important questions about ACT New Zealand policy. We agreed that a change of government shouldn't mean a rupture in the pipeline of work. So what are we to do about it? ACT has plans to embed 30yr local and regional infrastructure plans which cannot be undone by future governments. A switch from fuel tax/ RUCs to electronic road pricing means that revenue can be allocated to the regions which have measured the highest need for maintenance and growth, instead of hoping that Waka Kotahi and the Minister agree with regional priorities. Half the revenue collected from 15% GST on building and construction should be returned to the council which signed off the consents, to provide cashflow for further borrowing to fund 3 waters and other infrastructure.

Planning for a brighter future was at the heart of our recent Leaders’ Lunch in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland. In partnership with our friends at Infrastructure New Zealand NZ, we delved into how we can achieve sustainable and efficient infrastructure to create a resilient future for Aotearoa. We were pleased to host Simon Court, ACT New Zealand List MP, who shared ACT's future policy plans in the context of the building and infrastructure industry ahead of the election. Guiding the conversation was Maurice Hoban, our Regional Market Leader, who facilitated an open discussion and Q&A session with our panellists: Denise Lee, Advocacy Consultant – Property Council New Zealand, Hamish Glenn, Head of Transport Policy – Auckland Transport and Nick Leggett, CEO – Infrastructure New Zealand, whose perspectives highlighted some of the key impacts these policies will have on our sector. Our host and Tāmaki Makaurau Regional Leader, Brad Nobilo, was encouraged by the passion brought to the discussion, “I enjoyed the lively debate around balancing environmental protection with urban development and where there might be opportunities for change, a topic we will continue to hear more about as the election approaches.” This event is part of our series dedicated to the exploration of future infrastructure policies and provides a platform for collaboration as we approach the upcoming election, with the active participation of our valued clients and partners.

The Shrewsbury North West Relief Road has been given the go-ahead at yesterday’s planning committee. The NWRR will provide a huge boost for Shropshire’s economy, making Shropshire businesses more accessible. It is key piece of national and regional transport infrastructure, completes a ring around Shrewsbury that’s been unfinished for 30 years, while also supporting a key international road link with Ireland. By reducing traffic in Shrewsbury town centre it will also help improve air quality. Other environmental benefits include reduced journey times, fewer jams on the A5 around Shrewsbury, alongside the creation of a new network of cycle routes and footpath We believe it will free up road space and take traffic out of Shrewsbury town centre and encourage people out of their cars to walk and cycle in the town, making this a much more attractive place for residents, businesses and visitors. It will also improve safety in many Shropshire villages currently blighted by traffic rat runs trying to bypass the long loop around Shrewsbury created by the incomplete ring road. It is estimated that 85% of aggregates used in schemes such as this come from Shropshire. Once construction begins, it means that not only will we use local materials, we will also use local people to build it, creating employment and investing in people skills.
