Colchester City Centre Transport Plan
Representation ID: 9938
Received: 07/07/2023
Respondent: Ms Elaine Peaston-Jones
Colchester cannot cope with the traffic as it currently is. By increasing public transport you could lessen this problem but then you want to build many houses within the city centre area - thus increasing the cars again.
Why?
The park and ride never worked before as too expensive. If you are intending to put in a better public transport system, it has to be affordable.
Unless you improve what the city centre offers, no-one will want to visit - this needs addressing.
Please please please focus on making the city centre a vibrant place with shops that are open.
