Local Plan Main Modifications 2017

Representation ID: 70406

Received: 27/04/2017

Respondent: Ms Janet Dowthwaite-Clark

Representation Summary:

I am surprised and dismayed to find that a site in Old Milverton has been included in the search for a Park and Ride facility. I believe this to be unnecessary and detrimental to the area proposed. This is not a dedicated park and ride that is being proposed, it will use current bus routes and cause more congestion as extra buses will need to run. There is ample parking in town and this service is unlikely to be put to use by the majority of locals. It will also affect residential homes nearby.
