Yes, provision needs to be made for safe crossing of motorway junctions for cyclists to encourage cycling as one of the means of commuting. Some recreational areas do not have children's play facilities, for example Prospect Lane Recreational area . This would seem to conflict with the desires of government to get children to be more active. There is little SMBC can do to encourage recreational and leisure use of local rivers as most are now routed underground. The canal network could be put to better use although it is already actively used in some parts of the borough.
see attached letter for full text . Generally supportive and the letter comments on each of the 23 questions.
Where I generally agree with most of the points highlighted in the consultation I do not agree with them all and post my concerns and suggestions.
