Not a proper park and Rise so will be underused by shoppers. They will not want to wait for a bus to come along and hope there is a place on it. Wrong place , should be off the A 46 roundabout, if it were required (it is not). Added flooding risk from tarmac. A lot of A452 traffic not for Leamington centre itself.
It just won't be used. Another white elephant and a waste of resources, financial and environmental.
Park and Ride:
I object:
There are no buses laid on, merely local buses calling. Shoppers will not see this as a Park and Ride
as they will have to take pot luck that there is room on a bus for them as it calls. There will not be a bus waiting for them to board and relax
The site is too close to Leamington. Better would be a site at the A46 roundabout which will be the main feed anyway for users. That site could be used for Kenilworth, Warwick, Warwick University and South Coventry. All of which have car park needs
Car parking in Leamington is adequate and there is no reason to believe it will not be in the
future. The cheap short stay ticket pricing works well in the town.
Yet more car parks in the Green Belt , with their tarmac surfaces, means more contribution to flooding
A lot of A452 traffic is crossing to businesses in the South of Leamington, not to go shopping
