Freight quality partnerships
- Freight quality partnerships
Freight Quality Partnerships or FQPs are groups of transport operators and local authorities that come together to tackle the issues around freight access and deliveries in a particular location. FQPs are regarded as best practice by the [http://www.dft.gov.uk/stellent/groups/dft_freight/documents/page/dft_freight_507561.hcsp Department of Transport] (DfT ). Best practice is published by the Energy Savings Trust (on behalf of DfT). Two booklets are available:

Some of these are small geographically, i.e. covering only one business estate, e.g. Brimsdown Business Area in Enfield, whilst others cover larger areas, such as West London.
Some are funded by the members themselves, others by regional authorities, e.g. Transport for London (TfL). Freight Quality Partnerships are a key part of TfL's [http://www.tfl.gov.uk/freight London Freight Plan] .
