Draft Greater Norwich Local Plan – Part 1 The Strategy

Representation ID: 20430

Received: 06/03/2020

Respondent: Miss ANGELA MAKINSON

Representation Summary:

Transport in villages on the outskirts of Norwich struggle with insufficient, unreliable bus services and without a car the only way to get to villages close by for access to shops, and other essential services, is by taxi which not everyone can afford. So some residents become isolated and feel abandoned. Ridiculous when they may only be four miles from the City. There is no reference that I could see to community transport solutions, nor low carbon options such as electric buses.
