The transport strategy seems insufficiently ambitious. Rather than just promoting active travel and public transport, there needs to be a strategy to actively discourage car use, including building developments that do not include storage for vehicles other than bikes and car club vehicles.
It would also mean that any development includes filtered streets, so that cars can only drive in and out but not through.
All new properties must have space to store a bicycle, and identify how to access a cycle route, in a similar manner to the Oxford Local Plan.
