Representation Summary:

To reiterate, these seemingly environmental solutions are often proposed by people who haven`t researched the issue properly but need to be able to tick the box.

The purported aims are good but how they could be achieved is not seriously thought out. The P&R idea is only paying lip-service to environmental concerns in the same way as some of the cycle tracks in Leamington are- the one along Lillington Road to N Leamington School is just the pavement with a few posts and a few lines on the pavement. It is better than having to ride on the road, except that residents don`t seem to accept that it is a cycle track, along which cyclists will be moving faster than a pedestrian. Motorists come hurtling out of their blind drives as there are no marks to tell them to give way. Who would be in the wrong if a cyclist was killed?
