Respondent: Campaign for Better Transport

The 'Scope and issues' section gives very mixed messages. 'How to maximise accessibility to jobs, shops and services is identified as being 'the main issue' (13.1) which suggests that a 'travel to work area focus' on forming strategy would be appropriate. In contrast however, paragraphs 13.2 - 13.4 move us quickly on to a discussion on big regional infrastructure. There is a lack of coherence. Access by buses is singled out as a specific issue , but that is only one of many issues around modes that have to be addressed. It is misleading to begin a debate on modes of transport at the objectives setting phase of a draft strategic document.
