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

Representation ID: 5403

Received: 03/09/2021

Respondent: Mrs Gwendalyn Selo Skingley

Representation Summary:

I support having more green spaces and better public transport, walking, cycling, carbon neutrality, however I think the borough will fail to deliver on its quadrants.
Cycle lanes are inadequate or poor. Even walking between Shortstown and Cardington requires on road walking. Housing is generally small, not spacious and medical and social care provisions are hit and miss.
Groth needs to based on sustainability not the use of roads - in direct contrast to looking at warehousing and logistics for employment
