The Camden Freight and Servicing Action Plan outlines ways to address the challenges of air quality, congestion, and emissions from freight deliveries.
Some positive points of the plan include reducing the number of motor vehicle freight movements, encouraging the use of cargo bikes and electric vehicles, and promoting deliveries during off-peak times. Overall, the plan aims to make freight and servicing in Camden more efficient, safe, and clean.
- It is clear we can support many of the short-term actions:
- Develop an e-cargo training and support scheme for businesses
- Increase the uptake of FORS and CLOCS
- Strengthen requirements of, and compliance with Construction Management Plans (CMPs). Expand the conditioning of CMPs, compliance and monitoring.
- Promote the use of local services and trades and service sharing
- Explore the feasibility of setting up micro consolidation centres
- Expand e-cargo bike sharing schemes in town centres across Camden
- Lobby Central Government to promote better safe driving standards
- Deliver a new freight consolidation centre with expanded capacity
I do find it strange that it does not reference the TfL Cargo Bike Action Plan.
