A further five projects have been shortlisted for a People’s Award for a transport planning project that has made a positive impact in a local area.

All 10 finalists for the two awards were revealed at a House of Commons reception organised by the Transport Planning Society. Winners of both awards will be announced on Transport Planning Day 2019, which takes place on 20 November.

The five shortlisted projects for the Transport for New Homes Award are:

• Royal Arsenal Riverside (South East London)
• Poundbury (Dorset)
• Kilnwood Vale Phase 1 and 2 (Crawley, West Sussex)
• Kidbrooke Village (South East London)
• Bath Western Riverside (Bath)

The five shortlisted projects for the People’s Award are:

• Better Streets Enfield: A105 Scheme (Enfield, London)
• Croydon Living Streets Group and Friends of Love Lane Green Community Garden (Croydon, London)
• Plymouth City Council: Plymotion (Plymouth, Devon)
• Ramblers: The Deepings Green Walk (Market Deeping and Deepings St James, Lincolnshire)
• Seaford Head School: active travel maps (Seaford, East Sussex)

Transport for New Homes Award judge Jenny Raggett said: “The way we combine new homes with transport will determine how we travel and therefore the way we live for decades to come. Cutting back on car use and instead being able to walk, cycle or use public transport on a daily basis is all part of the lower carbon and healthier lifestyle that many people aspire to.”

Transport Planning Society chair Stephen Bennett said of the People’s Award: “While major projects hit the headlines, the award is a reminder that often the most important initiatives are ones that take place in the local community, informed or even led by local people; projects that keep us connected to the things we need every day – our jobs, schools, green spaces and health services.”

The Transport for New Homes Award and People’s Award are part of the Transport Planning Day campaign led by the Transport Planning Society with support from Jacobs, AECOM, Mott Macdonald, WSP, Arup, PBA – now part of Stantec, and Steer.
