REJECT The Council's Carry On Car Parking Proposal because it: ● Fails to remove cars from the riverside, and relocate them underground (as previously promised) ● Fails to pedestrianise the riverfront (as previously promised) ● Adds another 35 car parking spaces for new flats ● Directs all service vehicles along the Embankment because of service road closure ● Fails to improve Air Quality. The Air Quality Action Plan calls for reduction in car use/parking ● Fails to provide a town square large enough for farmers markets and a seasonal ice rink ● Fails to provide boathouses for riverside activities ● Fails to consider the whole site, by excluding the riverside roads/parking and all of Diamond Jubilee Gardens ● Grossly over-develops the remaining small site down the side of Water Lane ● Fails to provide any attractions that will draw residents and visitors to the riverside and town centre ● Fails to deliver a Riverside Park This is the final reminder that the Council’s consultation on the riverside development closes on Monday 30 October. The image above shows a direct comparison between the parking and parking related traffic impacts of our proposal vs the Council's proposal. We think there's a clear winner. Key: Parking = purple; Parking traffic flow = red So, What Can You Do...? 1. Have Your Say in the Council’s consultation survey.
