Number of people: 2

Representation Summary:

Transport
Support for the extension of car parking at Apperley Bridge station, however the current visual impact is detrimental to the visual amenity of residents with a view across the Aire Valley. Measures to decrease the visual impact such as additional mature planting and low impact lighting should be included in any further scheme. The car park is not covered by CCTV which should be addressed. In conjunction with plans to redevelop Esholt as Employment Land access to the station should be created from the Avenue side.

Would like to see more emphasis on segregated cycle paths, the creation of additional safe walking routes to/ from Apperley Bridge station and improvements to the canal side for pedestrians.

Would like to see the creation of Green Bus shelters and living walls to remove carbon from the highway network with priority given to sites outside schools on major traffic routes.
