Park and ride scheme
The land is highly valued by the town as an area for recreational activities as well as used by local schools for educational walks.

I believe the proposed park-and-ride scheme is unsustainable because:
There will be no dedicated buses, so users will have to time visits to coincide with the bus timetable
The site is too close to Leamington. It would be better if the site was focused on the A46 roundabout with the A452, which could form part of the Thickthorn development, and provide for Leamington, Warwick, Kenilworth, Warwick University and potentially Coventry
As there is already plenty of parking in Leamington shoppers with the major employers in the South of the borough the site will be unused.
Oxford appears to have the only park and ride scheme in the country which really works and this is because there is such limited parking in Oxford city centre.
With the site being unused it would be abused and seen as an opportunity to be used as an illegal caravan park as the cark park at Newbold Comyn.
A railway station is unviable because the railway line is in a deep cutting in Old Milverton making construction impractical.
