Representation Summary:

Leamington Spa is a small town which simply does not need a Park and Ride. There is more than adequate parking in town.
Worst of all the proposed site is Green Belt land, and a Park and Ride is not, by any stretch of the imagination, Exceptional Circumstances.
The Park and Ride will fail, as may have in other parts of the country. More precious Green Belt will have been destroyed and the developers will come in by default. Maybe this is what you want but residents, and anyone who cares about our rapidly diminishing green spaces, definitely do not.
