Representation ID: 3755

Received: 02/04/2019

Respondent: Southend Borough Council - 2050 Safe and Well

Representation Summary:

The borough is well served by rail with two lines and 10 stations in the borough. Is there a way that can be found of utilising these stations as hubs for starting points for more sustainable transport modes? Potentially including park and ride and increased cycling.
Enhanced cycle lanes to encourage more cycling would also have multiple benefits including on health and wellbeing and reduced emissions from vehicle use.
