Objection to Park and Ride in North of Leamington. Limited support for Park and Ride in South of Leamington.
Objection: The potential for a park and ride to the North of Leamington appears to have been added very late to plan process and with little analysis.
Objection: The North Leamington locations are very unlikely to produce a sustainable park and ride scheme.
Objection: There are exceptionally few successful park and ride schemes, Statford upon Avon is a close example of a scheme which has not been taken up by drivers. Leamington is not likely to be able to attract shoppers in competition with the likes of Solihull and '0ut of Town' by forcing people to park and then pay to catch a scheduled bus to town.
Objection: The North Leamington locations are also too close to town meaning car users gain very little and have the inconvenience of having to swap from car to bus. They will therefore drive past the Park and Ride and park in town.
Objection: The North Leamington location can only be used for Leamington and does not help Warwick.
Support: A park and ride to the south might have the ability to ferry people both to Leamington and Warwick. This may help reduce the perceived concerns over increasing traffic in Warwick Town centre.
Support: A well placed park and ride in the south, with good cycle links to the proposed new estates, may provide people with the potential to access Leamington and Warwick from home without a car.
Support: A park and ride to the south catches people coming from Its primary feeder roads from the M40.
