I am objecting to the P&R scheme because I believe that the site in Old Milverton has been included in error. At the Public Examination session in October 2016 dealing with the proposed allocation of this land for residential and park and ride uses, I understood that Warwick District Council Officers had agreed to remove this land from the areas of search for a park and ride facility.

As one of the requirements of a P&R facility is that it is convenient to passing drivers to maximise its attractiveness of changing from car to bus, having it so close to Leamington removes this attractiveness to drivers, considering that there is plenty of parking in Leamington and that the council is spending 6million on a new car park in town that is inconsistent with a park and ride scheme. As it is a "virtual" service with no dedicated buses it is not attractive to people. The park and ride scheme would drive shoppers away from Leamington and hurt the local traders.

As a resident of Old Milverton Lane adjacent to the proposed area of search for the North Milverton Park and Ride it is evident that the land north of Milverton would either require an access on Old Milverton Lane which would be dissociated with the main road or would require a new junction on A452. Any junction at this location is likely add to traffic congestion between the A452 Bericote Road roundabout and Old Milverton Road Roundabout, thereby encouraging people to proceed directly into town to park to mitigate delays incurred.
