Ridgeons, Cromwell Road: Supplementary Planning Document

Representation ID: 30860

Received: 06/03/2016

Respondent: Chris Smith

Representation Summary:

The document is disingenuous in that the poor links between this development via a safe cycling and walking route to the city centre are a severe issue. Mill Road Bridge is Victorian, too narrow, no DDA compliant and dangerous for cyclists and pedestrians. Coldhams Lane Bridge leads to the Beehive Centre and has no clear access routes onward to the city centre. This issue should be addressed within the text and alternative solutions proposed if space for a new crossing is not secured e.g. improvements to Mill Road Bridge.
