Grafton Area of Major Change SPD 2017
Representation ID: 32073
Received: 06/11/2017
Respondent: Mr Martin Lucas-Smith
This proposal is not evidenced and should be removed entirely.
Completely inappropriate to allow taxi usage in this area.
I have never heard any statement of demand, and a previous attempt to provide a taxi rank on Fair Street failed due to lack of use.
Having car-like vehicles being driven through this area will encourage illegal use by non-taxis. The area should not be designed to facilitate this.
I speak as a taxi user who supports better provision for taxis overall.
