North East Cambridge Area Action Plan Issues and Options 2019

Representation ID: 32713

Received: 22/03/2019

Respondent: Dr Roger Sewell

Representation Summary:

Transport of multiple sets of smart clean clothes by bike in a way that leaves them presentable is a major hurdle. Likewise the amount of shower/washing space that would need to be provided at companies if everybody expects to do all their self-washing on arrival at work would be huge.
