Representation Summary:

Objectives 7 & 8, neither of the objectives promote sustainable transport enough within the existing urban areas. There must be a huge investment in a walking and cycling network encouraging a decrease in car use and promoting a healthier lifstyle. This should include the improvement of existing steps, twittens and footpaths that should be made attractive and safe. The extension of the seafront cycle path from Robertson Street to the Old Town should be a priority. The two college sites in central and Ore should be connected by a greenway link that will include the present Balfour Beatty/Network Rail site alongside the railway which will also connect the Town Centre with Alexandra Park for pedestrians and cyclists.
