Representation Summary:

I could not find a reference to the footway provision in the North Beds Villages nor could I find any mitigation measures to reduce the traffic through and between villages. The roads between villages are already eroded at the margins where vehicles pass each other caused by the high volume of vehicles using the byways. The Borough has not considered the use of the 2006 quiet lanes legislation in these areas. Most villages in North Beds do not have adequate footways and in many cases no footways at all. These plans will make the rural environment even more dangerous for walkers, cycling and equestrian users.
