The indicators which we have put in place to enable us to measure our success in achieving this outcome are: Increased number of people as volunteers Younger and older people have more opportunities to interact and community residents have more opportunities to “Old” “new” interact This strategy will seek to fund projects which address one or more of these indicators. Outcome 3: more people have access to public/community transport between the villages and towns of the area and to the new railway line The opening of the new Borders railway has allowed people to travel more freely and regularly between urban and rural areas. However, we have heard from local people that public transport still does not adequately service the communities’ needs to travel between places in the Tyne Esk area, and does not give some of them easy access to the new railway line. We know the tendency is for public transport in Tyne Esk to point towards Edinburgh. This allows travel into Edinburgh for employment and tourism but does not provide a regular service to those who are employed within the Tyne Esk area and to those who wish to travel between local areas. Whilst recognising that the limited LEADER budgets are not adequate to fund large-scale transport routes, and knowing that these responsibilities fall within other Council departments’ authorities, we are keen to fund projects which offer more creative approaches to addressing some of these issues. Projects we would like to fund may, for example, include community transport schemes, cycle pathways, and car-sharing schemes. The indicators which we have put in place to enable us to measure our success in achieving this outcome are: Increase in number of community transport routes Improved dissemination of information on public/community transport
