When: 10 September 2024, 17:00 - 19:00
Where: Zoom Webinar
Speaker: Morag Robertson, Chair of Policy Group, Polaris Consulting
       Paul LeBlond, CILT
               Clare Sheffield, Director of Transport Planning ARUP

The phrase Road User Charging evokes a number of reactions; fear, anger, triumph, glee but whatever your feelings are about the subject it is likely to be something that is required to address transport funding gaps and to help achieve environmental targets by engaging modal shift.

We are edging towards a turning point in our transport history where our reliance on fossil fuel cars is shifting but our desire for mobility is greater than ever.  With these shifts comes challenges for us as individuals and as a society as well as how we govern and fund transport strategies.

With this in mind we are hosting a workshop on 10th September to discuss some of the issues this debate raises.  As an institute we have held a position on the subject and the aim of this session is to review that position with a view to updating it.  To do this we would like to gather the views and opinions of our members.

It is a very important but contentious issue and so it is unlikely we can address all the issues that the subject raises however we would like to start the consultation process, with maybe the opportunity to set up a working party to develop our position further.

The agenda will start with an introduction to the subject, covering the objectives of Road User Charging, types of charging with examples, principles of charging and current CILT position.  This is meant as a broad thought provoker as the main session will focus on discussion on:
1. What should the objectives of RUC be?
2. What principles should we be aspiring to?
3. What are the challenges?
4. What advice should we be giving government?
The aim of this session is to garner thoughts and opinions to update CILTs position with a view to engaging with stakeholders, in particular to inform government in their thinking about what Road User Charging may look like.

When: 18 October 2024, 10:00 - 15:00
Where: Diamond House, Main gate. Harwell Science & Innovation Campus, Fermi Ave, Didcot, OX11 0DE, UK 
Speaker: Mick Conmy FCILT, Diamond-II Logistics Manager


Attendance will be limited to a maximum of 36 and attendees will be vetted by Diamond Light Source prior to confirmation.

The UK’s largest particle accelerator is undergoing a upgrade programme starting next year and running through to 2029, it is the largest ever investment in UK science. It will involve construction of a new, even brighter synchrotron machine, which is essentially a giant microscope, producing light 10 billion times brighter than the sun.  The light is directed, via beamlines, into laboratories where research takes place in virtually all fields of science from health to energy.

To underpin this a logistics plan is currently being designed that creates a network of local and remote storage, kitting and assembly operations from scratch. 

A project team will handle the receipt, assembly and despatch of 17,000 SKUs of largely bespoke scientific instrumentation. Much of this is both very heavy and extremely sensitive. At the same time there will be a complex and overlapping extraction and removal process. Metal recycling will also form a big part of this project. 

Diamond Light Source, along with CILT Defence Forum and Central Southern Region will run a workshop to scope the art of the possible and look for innovative movement and temporary storage solutions for this project. Defence heavy-lift and expeditionary storage experts are already engaged in this, but wider industry experts are sought to workshop ideas about the most appropriate strategy to apply to this unique endeavour. 

After an initial briefing, there will be a descriptive tour of the facility giving unprecedented access to the current particle accelerator.  The workshop will then discuss concepts and exchange ideas about how to approach the programme.  The workshop will be held in the Diamond Light Source boardroom.
