Draft Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 81

Received: 29/12/2016

Respondent: Mr Stanley Silverman

Representation Summary:

the statements made about increasing the provision of schooling in Balsall Common lack rigour and clarity. The schools in the village are already oversubcribed. It must be made absolutely clear what extra school provision will be provided.
Merely improving waiting room provision at Berkswell station is wholly inadequate. There are only 2 trains per hour from Berkswell towards Birmingham and the same towards Coventry. At peak times these are packed...even getting on the train to stand is problematic. Increased public transport capacity is urgently required and the steps to be taken clarified not some wishy washy jam tomorrow policy statement
