Yes

Draft Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 50

Received: 20/12/2016

Respondent: Mr Steven Webb

Representation Summary:

I agree with what is trying to be achieved but totally reject the possibility of it actually being possible. Mention is made of cycling however the road network in and around Solihull would have needed to be designed from day one with cycling in mind. The roads are to cramped and to busy to allow safe cycling by more than the brave few and I just can't see this happening. Also it appears to be assumed that local hosing developments will mainly contain people who will work in the town centre, what proof is there of this?
