Wednesday 31 August 2016
On Wednesday 28th September 2016, 09:15 – 16:30 at the Holiday Inn Royal Victoria, Sheffield, S4 7YE (Sat Nav: S1 2AU),
Dr Erica Ballantyne is hosting a free interactive workshop for Local Authorities & Freight Transport Operators.
The event is free to attend and refreshments and a buffet lunch will be provided.
I would be pleased if you could share the following/attached information with the members of the South Yorkshire Freight Quality Partnership and other relevant contacts in the region and further afield.
To book your place at this workshop, please click here: Booking form (places are limited so please register your attendance).
The workshop aims to:
1. To create awareness of the implications that urban transport policy has on essential freight movements and operations.
2. To identify a range of possible solutions for servicing urban areas more efficiently, whilst alleviating problems caused by urban traffic congestion (reduce air & noise pollution caused by stationary vehicles, create safer urban environments, improve existing policies that may no longer apply).
3. To understand how engagement between policy makers, freight operators and others can contribute to the creation of better informed, more efficient urban transport policies in the future.
Please find attached an accompanying flyer with details of the event and how to book a place etc.
I do hope that you and some of your colleagues are able to attend the event on Wednesday 28th September here in Sheffield.
