Strategic Growth Options

Representation ID: 4822

Received: 17/02/2015

Respondent: Mr Sasha Millwood

Representation Summary:

Local public transport infrastructure is erratic and expensive -- I refer in particular to the bus network. Investment in a better bus service, preferably so that it is co-ordinated with the train timetable, would be welcome, provided that fares became a lot more affordable. This is why I would favour high-density development in a small number of brownfield sites, since it is easier to make a dedicated bus service for a focussed centre of population, as opposed to urban sprawl.
