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

Representation ID: 5264

Received: 03/09/2021

Respondent: Mr Jetinder Dhaliwal

Representation Summary:

Please correct to state that support for EWR route E was personally by the mayor and not the elected council (this is documented btw). The Council should be obtaining facts from the goverment and not on elements that are not fully defined. How can a solution be developed for any project if the requirements are not clearly defined. That is a recipe for scope creep, resoource shortages, impact assessments being inadequate and cost increase. At the end of the day, Bedford will suffer, especially the services provided by it if not sized correctly and openly.
