Representation ID: 8906

Received: 24/06/2021

Respondent: Mr Peter Baker

Representation Summary:

This is a sop towards sustainability.
* 140 houses means 280+ cars as there are no other means of transport
* cars will be used by parents taking children to school - in Barley and Barkway. There is daily traffic chaos outside both schools at the moment.
* Walking to Barley is almost impossible because of a lack of footpaths. Of course, parents could invest in cross-county buggies.
* Has this been sustainable transport been costed? In perpetuity, or just until the next round of cuts, or until S106 money runs out?
