CouncilPlanning policies for transport
The principles behind the Local Implementation Plan (LIP) system are that London local authorities should identify how they intend to implement the Mayor’s London’s Transport Strategy at a local level.
The concept of the Local Implementation Plan (LIP) stemmed from the Greater London Authority Act 1999. The Mayor for London was required to set out his Transport Strategy, which Local Authorities must then seek to implement at the local level.
The LIP is used as a bidding document for funding for transport initiatives, as well as monitoring progress towards delivery. It sets out the council’s programme for transport spending for all sources of funding.
Authorities are required to have their first adopted LIP in place by December 2005 and must draw up their LIPs in consultation with local people, interest groups and businesses.
