Respondent: Mr William Cairns
Balsall Common is surrounded by green belt, present public transport fails to meet the new criteria for both rail and bus. No bus services after about 6.30pm none on Sundays, in the day once an hour to Coventry and 2 an hour to Solihull. Settlements like Balsall Common only exit because people have access to cars. Improved public transport will not encourage people to switch the convenience factor of the car far out-way other considerations. This means improved bus services are unlikely to be sustainable. Rail is the best but parking limitations at the station must be addressed
