I have grave concerns regarding the use of Park & Ride facilities. Leamington has a unique character in the West Midlands as a place to eat and/or shop and part of that appeal is the current, relative ease of parking. Shoppers/diners do not favour park & ride over in-town parking.
The proposed sites themselves are in green belt and impact flood management of the River Avon.
Experience suggests that park & ride systems rarely work as planned and there is a danger that an under utilised such facility becomes a magnate for fly tipping, illegal traveller sites, etc.
