We take considered measures to coordinate our construction delivery vehicles in order to minimise impact on residents, businesses and the local highway network. An estate-wide approach to logistics provides us with an opportunity to identify and engage with delivery operators and service providers, allowing us to work together to demonstrate our joint commitments to sustainability, safety and best-practice working methods.
Benefits include:
• A reduction in the impact of increasing delivery and servicing movements, facilitating estate-wide rules.
• Sustainable freight travel to and from the development.
• Improved management of the increasing number of deliveries and servicing trips, particularly during peak hours.
• A reduction in the impact that heavy vehicle trips have on the surrounding public highways, residential areas and environment.
• A reduction in congestion and associated vehicle emissions.
• Better communication and wider understanding of estate-rules, reducing the need for enforcement measures.
Delivery & Servicing Action Plan: Our Phased Approach
The phased approach we have been adopting is outlined below:
PHASE 1
Introduction of servicing time slots, with access routes and specific servicing bay locations identified as the only servicing spaces available. Enforcement measures introduced to focus on compliance, allowing a period of time for site users to adjust to the new system.
PHASE 2
Implementation of exact time slots, set using the online booking system. Estate users to communicate their delivery and supplier companies with the Wembley Park Operations team and ensure suppliers comply with access routes and time slots. Ad-hoc and last-minute servicing will be accommodated in specific locations and based on space availability, with any emergency servicing events communicated to the Wembley Park Estate Management or Security Teams. Enforcement measures will be in place and will include the use of all available enforcement options.
PHASE 3
Applying lessons learned from Phases 1 and 2 to establish the final, fully operational online booking system and enforcement procedures.
