More Information:
We are delighted to announce that – in line with current Government policy thinking – the Thames Valley Transport Group has been relaunched as the Infrastructure, Connectivity & Transport Forum. The new format forum will now encompass all forms of infrastructure, connectivity, ICT and the green/low carbon agenda. Thames Valley, south-east and national issues will still be addressed.
The group will continue to meet four times a year and continue to discuss important current consultations with stakeholders in all modes of infrastructure & connectivity: rail, road, air, buses, environmentally-friendly options, as well as new technologies, station improvements and government funding.
And at this forum, we will summarise with a round-up of transport activity – successes & schemes put “on hold” for 2010 – and give an end of year review. We will outline our vision for the forum for 2011.
An interactive, round-table discussion will be encouraged, along with built in networking time over coffee
