Representation ID: 14180
Received: 14/12/2020
Respondent: Transport for the West Midlands
Legally compliant? Yes
Sound? Not specified
Duty to co-operate? Yes
Park & Ride:
- TfWM's Park & Ride policy discourages short car trips to stations (within 2km)
- Park & Ride can provide interception opportunity for traffic going in and out of Shires to metropolitan area
- Whitlocks End and Dorridge stations are good examples of interception locations
- Berkswell would not usually be a priority location for Park & Ride (low service frequency, high proportion of users within 1 mile of station), but delivery of relief road would increase opportunity for interception
- Any plans for Berkswell station should be in accordance with adopted WMCA's Park & Ride policies and principles, and operations ideally transferred to TfWM.
Policy P8:
Amend text to state Park and Ride expansion sites should meet conditions within WMCA's Park and Ride Policies and Principles report.
