The Waterfront is about to appoint its own Mobility Co-ordinator whose role will be to advise pedestrians, cyclists and bus users, current businesses and possible relocating businesses on how to best take advantage of the Waterfront’s travel infrastructure.
The co-ordinator will have seven key areas of activity which will focus on ensuring easy access to and from The Waterfront for all of its users. They are:
• To assist companies and employers within The Waterfront to develop and implement staff travel plans
• To provide a personalised journey planning service for people either employed on The Waterfront or in other businesses immediately adjacent
• To develop the Waterfront’s own cycle hire scheme
• To help identify and implement innovative transport solutions to tackle the needs of all Waterfront users
• To regularly assess travel needs and patterns
• To act as key transport advisor to Halton College during its reorganisation.
As part of the Council’s Mobility Management Unit they will be in place for a period of two years and as well as providing the hands on advice and reporting role described above they will have a marketing role designed to engage local people with the wide ranging programme.
