Hastings Development Management Plan Proposed Submission Version
Representation ID: 5447
Received: 03/04/2013
Legally compliant? Yes
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? Not specified
I support the proposal to construct the network of cycle routes as shown in the Local Plan Policies Map, as the urban road system in Hastings is difficult and dangerous for cyclists and is a prime cause of many residents giving up or not starting to travel by bike. The cycle network would reduce the risk of accidents and encourage many people to travel by bike for utility and leisure purposes, and this would benefit the environment by reducing car journeys, improve the health and fitness of the local population and help the local economy. It would help to connect communities and provide a facility for all ages and abilities. I also support policy T3 in the Local Plan and the other measures to improve sustainable travel.
