Somehow, I find myself invited to the Mainstreaming Smarter Travel event on 3rd / 4th December in Manchester Town Hall. This is described in the publicity as an "annual event where representatives and stakeholders from all Local Sustainable Travel Fund (LSTF) awarded regions come together to share knowledge, good practice and discuss effective implementation of projects."
(Programme details available here)
One of the sessions on Wednesday 4th December, there will be what is describde as "an extended interview and discussion with the new Transport Minister with responsibility for LSTF, Baroness Susan Kramer, Cllr. Andrew Fender, Chair of TfGMC and Mike Blackburn, Chair of Greater Manchester LEP and BT regional director for the North West."
A message from Lynn Sloman, Director of Transport for Quality of Life, Plenary Chair for Mainstreaming Smarter Travel Day 2
On
the second day of the Mainstreaming Smarter Travel conference, there
will be an extended interview and discussion with the new Transport
Minister with responsibility for LSTF, Baroness Susan Kramer, Cllr.
Andrew Fender, Chair of TfGMC and Mike Blackburn, Chair of Greater
Manchester LEP and BT regional director for the North West.
I’d
like to know your top questions for our three interviewees. We’ll
endeavour to cover as many of them as possible – and certainly to
address all the most popular topics.
Baroness
Kramer was famed for her indefatigable pavement-pounding when she was
the Lib Dem candidate for the London mayoral election in 2000, pledging
to walk every high street in the capital city. So you might want to ask
her what options she sees from her Ministerial hot seat to boost active
travel. Or you might want to know what ideas Mike Blackburn and his
fellow LEP Chairs have got for capital investment in sustainable travel
post-2015.
Please send your questions by 12pm FRIDAY 22nd NOVEMBER to rory.mcmullan@landor.co.uk.
Mark your email ‘LSTF Question Time’.
