Construction News Image
Atkins and Jacobs have been selected as lead consultants on a new study looking at transport improvements to support growth and regeneration in the corridor between Abbey Wood and Ebbsfleet.

Funded by the Ministry for Housing and Local Government (MHCLG), who have pledged up to £4.85 million, the work will be overseen by the C2E Partnership, comprising Kent County Council, the boroughs of Bexley, Dartford and Gravesham, Ebbsfleet Development Corporation, The Thames Gateway Kent Partnership, the Greater London Authority and Network Rail. The study will explore and build a business case for enhancing transport links in the area subject to suitable housing ambition.

Ellis Walker, Client Director at Atkins, said: "Transport continues to be a key enabler for regional growth, and the Abbey Wood to Ebbsfleet Connectivity Study is a great opportunity to help secure a bright and exciting future for the region. Our team of experts at Atkins and Jacobs bring significant experience from other transport schemes and a wealth of local knowledge to help the region understand and unlock the potential of local transport investment."

Atkins and Jacobs will help C2E launch a broad programme of research and analysis to detail the transport and development challenges within the area, identify possible transport improvement options, understand how these options can support further housing and jobs growth both within the study area and beyond and consider what potential mechanisms could help fund any improvements. The work will include analysis of a range of transport interventions, engagement with local stakeholders and two phases of public consultation, later this year and again in the new year.

The study is programmed to last approximately 15 months, ending in the autumn of next year. Atkins and Jacob are also working with KPMG, who will consider funding and finance options for the scheme.
