Supporting Documents

The Local Transport Strategy is supported by three documents:

All of these documents are contained within the Local Transport Strategy and can be dowloaded from the publications and documents section below.

Strategic Environmental Assessment

Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is a systematic process for identifying, predicting, reporting and mitigating the environmental impacts of certain proposed plans and programmes. The Local Transport Strategy falls under the EU Directive 2001/42/EC and the Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes (Scotland) Regulations 2004. Therefore the Local Transport Strategy must be assessed for environmental effects.

The Clackmannanshire Strategic Environmental Assessment reports for the Local Transport Strategy can be downloaded by following the link in the Publications and documents section below. Responses from the consultation authorities are also available.

Consultation

In summer 2005 Clackmannanshire Council collected the public's opinion via a questionnaire with a prize draw on a variety of roads issues. The results were analysed and used to develop the Local Transport Strategy. A copy of the results can be viewed by following the link in the publications and documents section below. A series of public forums were held throughout the area in June 2006, to present the draft strategy and provide the opportunity for questions and opinions. Further consultation exercises were undertaken with key stakeholders. The Strategic Environmental Assessment was also consulted on by key stakeholders and the SEA Gateway.
