Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 7811

Received: 12/03/2019

Respondent: Mr Mark Briers

Representation Summary:

There is not the infrastructure to support this, particularly the road system. Already small roads often with traffic control that are extremely busy. Getting on to the M42 at peak times already very, very slow.
"Highway improvements" are undefined and I feel only new highways will help. To suggest that bike lanes are going to solve any congestion is ridiculous given our climate. Dickens Heath has limited facilities so for supermarkets people will have to drive.
