Strategic Growth Options

Representation ID: 3448

Received: 16/01/2015

Respondent: Mr. Michael R. M. Newman

Representation Summary:

I believe you have covered the main infrastructure issues. Community integration should be a consideration and developments should not isolate small communities from the other residential areas. I am concerned that there is no real availability/possibility of safe cycle ways along the major roads in the built-up areas of the borough, due to the narrowness of these roads (esp. Shenfield Road between Bentwood High St. and Hutton Road). This encourages/forces cyclists to use the (narrow) pavements. I am not sure that anything can be done about this.
