We are pleased to present this first four-year Business Plan produced for the Tamar Bridge and Torpoint Ferry, covering the period 2011-2015.

The development of this plan follows a resolution by the Tamar Bridgeand Torpoint Ferry Joint Committee in December 2009 to adopt abusiness planning framework that would reflect the strategic nature of the two crossings and integrate operational and financial aspects of theundertaking into a single document.

This document represents a significant step forward in the governanceand management of these two crossings that are so strategicallyimportant to both Cornwall and Plymouth. We believe that it will be avaluable reference for a range of readers including councillors, officers,customers and other stakeholders in gaining a fuller understanding of the undertaking and of our plans for the next four years.

2.1 The Tamar Bridge and Torpoint Ferry providethe travelling public with the two majorcrossings of the lower reaches of the River Tamar connecting Plymouth and South-East Cornwall. Their operation is governed bya Joint Committee representing the twoauthorities, Cornwall Council and PlymouthCity Council, that own the crossings. The strategic importance of these crossingswithin the context of Plymouth and Cornwallstresses the wider perspective within whichthe Business Plan has been developed.

2.2 Our mission is to provide the travellingpublic with safe, reliable and efficientcrossings of the Tamar through theoperation, maintenance and improvement ofthe Tamar Bridge and Torpoint Ferry.

2.3 Core values shape the organisation’s culture,priorities and decisions:

respect excellence creativity

integrity accountability openness

ownership accessibility teamwork

and these values underpin the way in whichthe undertaking operates.

2.4 The service relies on major infrastructureassets and human resources to deliver itsmission. Both crossings operate on a 24 hour,365 day basis and have significant peaks indemand predominantly eastbound onweekday mornings and westbound onweekday evenings, and the crossings areoperated to maximise the service availabilityto match those demands.

2.5 The undertaking employs approximately 100staff, and some services including tollcollection and vehicle recovery at the bridgeare provided by contractors.

2.6 Approximately 95% of the finance needed tooperate, maintain and improve the twocrossings is funded from tolls, with theremaining 5% derived from rentals, wayleavesand contribution from the Highways Agencyin relation to joint operation of the TamarBridge/Saltash Tunnel tidal flow system. Theundertaking works with many otherstakeholders through partnerships and jointworking arrangements which reflect the need to integrate the service within a wider context.

2.7 The undertaking recognises the importanceof managing risk so that it can achieve keystrategic objectives and organisational goals. Ittherefore maintains a contemporary riskregister which is used as the framework formonitoring and managing both strategic andoperational risks.

2.8 Longer term planning sets the context fordetermining key priorities for the BusinessPlan, which are set out together withassociated actions.

2.9 A range of improvements are included in theBusiness Plan, and most of these will befinanced by borrowing. The undertaking isfinancially self-sufficient, using toll income tofund the crossings and capital projects. Toll income forecasts assume that trafficlevels will fall by 2% in 2011/12 andthereafter remain unchanged. Based on theforecast income stream it is anticipated that asmall increase in tolls will be required in2014/15 in order to deliver the Business Planand maintain adequate reserves in line withgood business practice.

3.1 The Tamar Bridge and Torpoint Ferry provide the major vehicularand pedestrian crossings of the lower reaches of the River Tamar.The two crossings are operated as a single undertaking by theTamar Bridge and Torpoint Ferry Joint Committee, which wasestablished by the Tamar Bridge Act 1957. The Joint Committeecomprises five elected councillors from each of the JointAuthorities, Plymouth City Council and Cornwall Council. JointChairmen are elected from each of the two councils and theychair Committee meetings on an alternating basis.

3.2 The Tamar Bridge Act 1957 gave the Joint Authorities powers tobuild the Tamar Bridge and to charge tolls to cross it. The Act alsomade provision for the Joint Authorities to take ownership andcontrol of the Torpoint Ferry, which at that time was owned andoperated by Cornwall County Council.

3.3 When opened in 1961 the Tamar Bridge was the longestsuspension bridge in the UK and it remains the only fixedcrossing of the Tamar between Plymouth and South East Cornwall.

3.4 The last decade has seen significant investment in the twocrossings. In 1998 a new Tamar Bridge Act came into force givingthe Authorities powers to strengthen and widen the TamarBridge (1999-2001). The strengthening ensured that the structurecould continue to carry all classes of vehicles permitted on UKhighways including the new class of 44 tonne heavy goodsvehicles. The widening added capacity and improved safety for all users.

3.5 In 2004 and 2005 the previous generation of Torpoint Ferries,then over forty years old, were replaced by faster, quieter andsafer craft with additional 50% capacity.

3.6 In 2007 the TamarTag electronic tolling system (ETC) wasintroduced at both crossings replacing a paper voucher pre-payment scheme. At the Bridge the toll plaza was upgradedwith new toll booths and a canopy, and the new ETC systemgave the toll plaza an increased traffic capacity approximatelymatching that of the bridge structure. At both crossings thesystem provides a more convenient method of payment forregular users.

3.7 The above projects together represent approximately £60million of capital investment over the last decade. Thisinvestment has been made to allow the provision of safe, reliable and efficient crossings into the future.

4.1 Effective transport links between South East Cornwall andPlymouth are vital in building and maintaining a sustainable localcommunity. They contribute to the achievement of a strongercommunity with better local economies and also provide accessto health, education and leisure services. The Tamar Bridge andTorpoint Ferry make a significant contribution to these goals,providing the only links across the lower Tamar for public, privateand commercial vehicles, and provide significant access links forpedestrians and cyclists.

4.2 This Business Plan recognises the wider role of the crossings inthe future of the communities of Cornwall and Plymouth, andthe work necessary to ensure that role will continue during theperiod of the plan. An integrated approach must therefore beadopted that supports wider area strategies and predictedchallenges for both Cornwall and Plymouth.

4.3 A number of challenges may develop during the period coveredby this Business Plan. They include:

� accommodating the potential impact of population andhousing growth in Cornwall and Plymouth throughrespective Spatial Strategies and Local DevelopmentFrameworks;

� minimising the impact of the crossings on the naturalenvironment, heritage and landscape;

� ensuring that the crossings are able to support growth inthe economies of both Cornwall and Plymouth;

� maintaining and improving provision of good access tohealth, education and other services;

� adapting to climate change and mitigating its effects;

� managing the effect of traffic growth on the capacities ofthe Bridge and the Ferry;

� managing the demand for travel and influencing travelbehaviour where appropriate or necessary;

� improving the quality of journey integration by addressingpublic transport, walking and cycling;

� ongoing maintenance requirements to optimise the operational lives of both the Bridge and the Ferry.

4.4 To ensure that safe, reliable and efficient crossings are available for thelong term future of the region, the strategy developed for the crossingsmust recognise these challenges in the wider strategic context forCornwall and Plymouth. In doing so the plan will aim to:

� maximise certainty for the community, investment and development;

� enable and support planned investment in infrastructure andservices;

� ensure that development of the crossings is informed by andintegrated into other strategic plans including the localdevelopment frameworks, local transport plans and economicdevelopment plans;

� ensure that investment is made in the crossings for theirmaintenance, operation and improvement and that the fundingis available to enable this to happen;

� provide a clear process to guide the management of the crossings.

The Assets

7.1 The core services are delivered using large infrastructure facilities.These facilities are key to the delivery of the service and theiravailability must therefore be optimised with robust and effectivemaintenance programmes. With appropriate maintenance theTamar Bridge has an anticipated remaining life of 120 years andthe current generation of Torpoint Ferries will serve for at leastanother 20 years.

7.2 Whilst the majority of traffic using the crossings is relatively localin terms of origin and destination, the Tamar Bridge is also a vitalelement in the trunk road network. Peak traffic flows occur onweekday mornings (predominantly eastbound) and weekdayevenings (predominantly westbound). To maximise capacity, trafficlanes on the bridge are operated in a tidal fashion to match thepredominant traffic flow or to facilitate specific trafficmanagement for activities such as maintenance work andbreakdown recovery. This tidal flow system includes the Bridgeand the Highways Agency’s Saltash Tunnel and requires 24 hour,365 day monitoring and control. Our Bridge control room istherefore staffed around the clock and is operated in partnershipwith the Highways Agency. The Bridge carries approximately50,000 vehicles on an average weekday and around 16 millionvehicles a year. The south cantilever lane of the Bridge provides adedicated pedestrian and cycle lane which forms part of theLocal and National Cycle Networks.

7.3 The Torpoint Ferry operation is the largest inland waterwayvehicular ferry crossing in the UK, transporting up to 8,000vehicles across the river on busy weekdays. The ferries also carry foot passengers providing a vital link between the Torpoint areaand Plymouth, and the crossing forms part of the National CycleNetwork. All three vessels are operated in peak periods, withtwo vessels operating off-peak and a single vessel operatingovernight ensuring continuity of service for the public andemergency services.

7.4 Both crossings offer priority arrangements and free crossings forbuses and also provide free crossings for pedestrians, cyclists,certain emergency vehicles and those individuals qualifying forour mobility scheme.

People

7.5 Approximately 100 full-time and part-time staff are directlyemployed on the undertaking, 75% of whom work at the TorpointFerry operation. Many of the staff are employed on a shift workingbasis to resource the round the clock service.

7.6 At the Bridge fifteen toll collectors and four recovery vehicledrivers are employed by contractors to deliver 24 hour coverage of those two functions. These contracted staff are integrated intothe undertaking and form part of the operational teams.

7.7 An organisation chart is attached at Appendix 1.

7.8 The Joint Committee also relies upon professional support fromPlymouth City Council and Cornwall Council.

Funding

7.9 Approximately 95% of the finance to operate, maintain andimprove the facilities is funded from tolls. The ‘user pays’ principleensures that those who derive most benefit from the crossingscontribute accordingly.

7.10 The remaining 5% of income is generated from rentals, wayleavesand reimbursement of the costs of operating the Saltash Tunnel onbehalf of the Highways Agency. Funding is covered in more detail insection 12.

Management

7.11 The General Manager and officers of the Joint Authorities presentreports at the meetings of the Joint Committee. The reportsaddress contemporary issues and provide updates on expenditure,projects and studies, and also seek approval of the annual statementof accounts. The meetings allow the Joint Committee to considerreports reviewing the performance of the undertaking.

7.12 Certain powers are delegated to officers of the two Authoritiesand to the General Manager through schemes of delegation,financial regulations and individual decisions of the Joint Committee.

Partnerships and Joint Working

7.13 As well as drawing on resources from the Joint Authorities forprofessional and support services, the undertaking operates inpartnership and joint working arrangements with a range oforganisations including:

Highways Agency – partnering on the operation of the TamarBridge/Saltash Tunnel Tidal Flow Corridor;

Department for Transport (DfT) – member of DfT’s InteroperabilityForum Operators’ Sub-Committee which represents UK current andpotential toll operators - also general partnering on exchange of trafficinformation and other data;

GoSkills – industry representation on development of nationaloccupational standards;

Devon and Cornwall Police – emergency planning, emergencyresponse and facilities surveillance;

Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service – joint working on rescueprocedures and emergency planning;

Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service – joint working onrescue procedures and emergency planning;

UK Bridge Operators, UK Toll Operators and UK Chain and CableFerry Operators – joint working on shared documents and standards,benchmarking and exchange of information;

International Cable Supported Bridge Owners/Operators –representation, benchmarking and exchange of information.

7.14 These relationships contribute to the safety, reliability and efficiency ofthe crossings. Significant efforts are invested in the maintenance anddevelopment of these important relationships, and this investment isrewarded with a return, through shared benefits, exceeding that whichmay be achievable solely through contractual arrangements.

Contracts

7.15 Contracts are in place for a range of services and works including theTamar Bridge toll collection service, specialist engineering termconsultancy and engineering advice, and marine consultants tosupervise ferry refits.

7.16 As a public body the undertaking complies with all relevant UKlegislation and European Directives on procurement and value formoney and this is reflected in robust contract procedures.

8.1 Risk management is both a statutory requirement and an essentialelement of good corporate governance. It embodies the culture,processes and structure that are directed towards the effectivemanagement of potential opportunities or threats to an organisationin achieving its objectives.

8.2 The Tamar Bridge and Torpoint Ferry Joint Committee recognises the importance of managing risk so that it can achieve key strategicobjectives and organisational goals. It recognises that riskmanagement must be embedded into the culture of the organisationso that it is an integral part of all business planning functions.

8.3 Until 2009 risks had been managed on an ad hoc or grouped basis.However a formal risk register has since been developed using inputfrom risk workshops for Joint Committee Members and officers. The risk register incorporates a formal hierarchy of risk probability,severity and outcomes which are adjusted to recognise existingmitigation measures. The management team will continue to monitorand review the register and prioritise further mitigation. Headlinerisks from the undertaking feed into the risk registers of the JointAuthorities.

8.4 Whilst the risk register will assist the management of theundertaking, recognition and management of risk continues to be afundamental part of day-to-day operations, influencing workingpractices, specifications and procedures.

8.5 The integration of risk management into the organisation, its businessplanning and its routine working practices has many benefits and as aresult the Tamar Bridge & Torpoint Ferry Joint Committee can:

� achieve the key strategic objectives and organisational goals;

� improve strategic, operational and financial management;

� be more efficient with resources;

� safeguard or improve its assets;

� mitigate key threats and identify key opportunities;

� improve decision making, planning and prioritisation ofkey issues;

� promote innovation, change and improvement;

� ensure value for money;

� avoid any unforeseen issues, unknown threats or failures;

� develop, support and protect employees.

8.6 Our approach to risk management is defined in our RiskManagement Strategy and sets out:

� the overall process for identifying, assessing and managing risk;

� the requirements and responsibilities of members and officers;

� arrangements for monitoring and reporting risk.

8.7 One of the key objectives of the strategy is to identify, assess,record and manage those risks that threaten the delivery of keystrategic organisational objectives or goals. Therefore, the TamarBridge and Torpoint Ferry Joint Committee maintains riskregisters to record, review and monitor strategic and operationalrisks. The organisation recognises that Risk Management is notabout creating a totally risk free environment but more aboutpreparing a disciplined approach to managing uncertainty andbeing prepared to take mitigating action. The risk registers areregularly monitored and reviewed and, when used effectively, actas an early warning for any movement in risk.

8.8 The ultimate measure of effective Risk Management is that the Joint Committee has the resilience to deliver its key strategic objectives by providing safe, reliable and efficient crossings now and into the future.

8.9 The strategic risk register of key risks is attached as Appendix 2.

9.1 Plans for the longer term must sustain the mission to providesafe, reliable and efficient crossings of the river Tamar.

9.2 These plans are influenced by the Local Transport Plans of theJoint Authorities through close liaison with their respectivetransportation teams.

9.3 To a large extent, major maintenance of the facilities occurs incycles and we must ensure that the physical and financialresources are available for major tasks such as resurfacing andrepainting the Bridge and undertaking refits of the Ferries. These maintenance cycles may span Business Plan cycles.

9.4 Changes in traffic demand, user expectations, legislation andother factors may stimulate changes in the way the undertakingoperates and may require improvements to facilities. Theundertaking must therefore continue to look ahead to maintain a clear strategy for the future.

9.5 Planning well ahead preserves the level of service, reducesoperational risks, maintains funding options, informs futureincome requirements and helps minimise disruption for thetravelling public. Therefore while this Business Plan spans fouryears, plans beyond that period must also be considered.

9.6 In accordance with good asset management practice, anyprojects proposed for potential future investment are tested byundertaking feasibility studies to investigate options and toconfirm their viability before higher costs are committed.

9.7 The current long term planning has been set to incorporateforecast replacement of the Torpoint ferries between 2025 and2030. Our detailed financial forecast model extends to 2025 andincorporates foreseeable expenditure on operations,maintenance and capital investment.

9.8 The Business Plan for 2011-2015 has been developed within thecontext of this longer term plan.

12.1 Toll revenues represented 95% of Joint Committee income in2009-10. The remaining 5% consisted of rentals, wayleaves and acontribution from the Highways Agency to cover the costsincurred in managing traffic using the Saltash Tunnel.

12.2 Income received through tolls and other sources funds theoperation, maintenance and improvement of the two crossingsand can also be used to reimburse transport initiatives thatbenefit either of the two crossings. There are no grants orcontributions from other sources (eg Council Tax) and by law thecrossings cannot provide a revenue stream for the JointAuthorities or other organisations.

Anticipated Income 2011 to 2015

12.3 Toll income is determined by:

� the toll charging structure;

� the volume of traffic using the crossings;

� the proportion of users choosing our pre-paymentdiscount scheme (TamarTag) and the level of discount offered;

� the extent of free concession crossings offered to buses,emergency services, disabled drivers and others.

12.4 This means that changes in the general economic situation, fuelprice variations and the availability of public transport will directlyand indirectly affect our income.

12.5 Toll charges are authorised and limited by a Toll Order issued bythe Secretary of State for Transport. The order sets out themaximum charges that can be made for certain classes ofvehicles. In order to revise tolls, a statutory process must befollowed involving a formal application to the Secretary of Statefor Transport setting out a business case that supports the needfor a revision.

12.6 The Joint Committee offers a discount to users who set up apre-paid electronic payment account.

12.7 While longer term national forecasts predict traffic to grow and,because there is such uncertainty about many of the factors thatwill influence travel behaviour and therefore traffic demand, we

12.10 Expenditure is in the form of revenue expenditure fundeddirectly from income or reserves, and capital expenditure whichmay also be funded directly from income or reserves, but islargely funded by borrowing. Where significant investment isneeded to improve the facilities or to significantly extend servicelife, we generally borrow to smooth peaks in expenditure and inorder that those benefiting in the future will contribute towardsthe associated cost. The full cost of this capital expenditure isrepresented in accounts through the annual payment of intereston the associated loan and on the element of the loan that isrepaid during the course of each financial year.

12.11 Expenditure plans for each financial year are recommended bythe Joint Committee to each Council in the late Autumn of thepreceding year. Generally formal approval is only in place forrevenue expenditure for the current or immediately forthcomingfinancial year, while expenditure forecasts for subsequent yearsare noted and will be subject to approval in due course.However for contracts delivering beyond the routine budgetapproval timescales, approval for expenditure may be approvedon an ad hoc basis.

12.13 The forecast expenditure for the four years covered by thisBusiness Plan is as follows:

*Debt servicing forecasts for 2012/13 onwards include provisionof £380,000 per annum to fund possible bridge officedevelopment (estimated at £4.6m), but this project will besubject to approval of a satisfactory business case.

Efficiency and Value for Money

12.14 Competitive tendering is the default approach for externalprocurement of goods and services to achieve best value fromthe supply market.

12.15 Review of internal costs is also undertaken to ensure best valuedelivery of the overall service, to avoid duplication and toeliminate waste.

12.16 Key performance indicators are used to ensure that we aremeeting or exceeding our general service obligations and anyspecific planned levels of service.

12.17 Term contracts or multiple year contracts are adopted to realiseeconomies of scale and reduce overall tendering costs. Durationsof these contracts are moderated to allow periodic review,renewed market competition and innovation in delivery.

12.18 An independent efficiency review of the undertaking will becarried out during the second year of this Business Plan.

Funding

12.19 The major source of funding for the undertaking is through tollscharged at both crossings. Tolls at both crossings were increasedby 50% in March 2010 following a public inquiry.

12.20 Current projections of reserves are set out below. Theseprojections confirm indications noted at the inquiry that we willneed to seek a further increase in tolls in 2013/14 forimplementation in April 2014.

12.21 This will ensure that the finance is available to meet the costs ofmaintenance, operation and improvement of the crossings. The Joint Committee has agreed to pursue smaller but morefrequent increases in tolls to meet forecast income requirements.This approach is in line with the preference indicated in theresponse to public consultation undertaken in 2009.
