Representation ID: 20559

Received: 10/03/2020

Respondent: Mr Michael Baldwin

Representation Summary:

I Object unless proper safe footpath provision is made to access the town centre without having to cross the dangerous B1108.
This requires creating a footpath between the original Abels development up to Bears Lane. Though this may require radical thinking ( money! ). It is time genuine thought to pedestrian safety was given in creating new housing. To survive the key service centre facilities need people in the proposed new estate to able to use them safely!
I would also like to see where safe vehicle egress is envisaged.
In addition pedestrian safety in the centre needs to be addressed.
