I object to the proposed Park and Ride Scheme either in OLD MILVERTON (from Northumberland Road to the Warwickshire Nuffield Hospital) or BLACKDOWN (near the Sandy Lane crossroad).
These areas are Green Belt land and there is no justification or supportable rationale for setting up a Park and Ride scheme on these sites.

There is sufficient car parking available in Leamington town centre, and so no demand for a Park and Ride scheme.
The proposed locations are so close to Leamington town centre they will not actually remove any traffic from the main access roads from the north into Leamington Spa.
I understand the Park and Ride operators (Stage Coach) say that dedicated bus lanes on the A452 are necessary. However, there is no money available to make the A452 into a dual carriage way and the proposal has been withdrawn from the Local Plan.
The scheme is very unlikely to proceed and the areas of search just blight the neighboring properties
If Park and Ride should ever prove necessary or viable a site north of Chesford Bridge should be used to reduce traffic congestion on the A452
