Support this proposed policy especially regarding minimising the need to travel. Increased fuel costs make it more likely that local people will take local jobs.
strongly support the proposals in the Draft Infrastructure Plan for Sustainable Travel Infrastructure. We support the suggestion of bus lanes and bus priority schemes to encourage modal shift between Kenilworth and Leamington and encourage this to be also considered on other routes.

We do not support a proposed Leamington Northern Relief Road as we believe it has potential to encourage more private car movements rather than reducing the need to travel or encouraging more sustainable forms of transport. It seems contradictory to other proposed sustainable travel improvements
