Respondent: Meriden Parish Council

Unless rural travel is improved, it will not reduce inequalities in the area as those residents with disabilities will be discriminated against.
Question whether challenge J Improving health and well being is addressed in these policies. Walking and in particular cycling in Meriden is hazardous due to the rural roads that carry large vehicles with little or no cycle paths. More vehicles on the road increases air pollution. What about the provisions for those with disabilities? Will sustainable travel be dementia friendly?
Speeding traffic is a problem through Meriden.
