Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission
Representation ID: 3786

Respondent: Mr Andrew Gould
It is all very well to say you support cycling and alternatives to the car, but if you do not allow cycling in the centre of Chichester, including the current pedestrian area of all 4 roads leading to the Cross, then this whole plan is unsound. Time is the main factor here. I can cycle to the Cross in 25 minutes, but if it takes 10 minutes to walk my bike across the centre, it is just too much, and i will go by car instead. The door to door time to cycle has to beat the car.
