Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035

Representation ID: 857

Received: 02/02/2019

Respondent: Ms Valerie Briginshaw

Representation Summary:

The Council needs to do more to combat pollution. Poor air quality is one of our biggest problems in the city. I live in Orchard Street and witness daily the build up of traffic and pollution at certain times of the day. The Council needs to do much more to limit pollution caused by vehicles eg introduce clean air zones, clean buses, safe cycle routes, anti-idling zones, more electric car charging points, use of bus lanes, workplace parking levies, car sharing schemes for commuters, use of the car club rather than car ownership, car free days...etc .
