Local Plan 2040 Draft Plan - Strategy options and draft policies consultation

Representation ID: 4106

Received: 30/08/2021

Respondent: Debbie Irish

Representation Summary:

When you hired consultants for the EWR project you disregard their reasoned, intelligent and factual results when they did not fit your agenda. I am not aware of any meaningful traffic assessment data for Bedford town centre. I believe it is deeply flawed to rely upon a railway not properly consulted upon in order to justify housing plans to suit the agendas of others. Will you be transparent and publish the full information at every stage of this consultation, including reports and their contents so the people you represent understand what is being committed to in their name this time?
