Testun llawn:
We object to the North Leamington Park and Ride Scheme because:
1. It is inappropriate and irresponsible to have a "parking lot" of considerable size on Green Belt land. Valuable farm land and hedge rows should not be covered in concrete and lost forever. The "green lung" is needed wherever it still exists. This may be just "the tip of the ice berg" for wholesale development in the Green Belt.
2. Since Warwick District Council is building a new multi storey car park this new scheme is not needed.
3. Unless there are very frequent dedicated buses (which would add to traffic congestion on the A452) no one is going to use the Park and Ride, since it increases commuting time and cost.
4. Instead of helping the local economy, particularly Leamington town centre, it may drive business away.
