Still going through the #LocalTransportPlan - this is a big piece of work! I'm on to the Managing Space Strategy.

One statement which has jumped out at me suggests #WarwickshireCountyCouncil perhaps doesn't quite understand what #CarDependency is.

Car dependency *always* negatively affects people's lives and #WCC should work to reduce/eliminate it everywhere - rural and urban. There should always be another travel option besides driving.

I'm beginning to look at the #MotorVehicle Strategy part of the #LocalTransportPlan - and I can feel my blood pressure rising.

Just how awful and #carCentric is this line?

"Roads also provide a vital connection for those less able to use forms of transport other than cars."

Where exactly do people walk, wheel, and cycle? What do buses use? 🤦‍♂️

Still working through #Warwickshire's draft #LocalTransportPlan, having read the Core Document, #ActiveTravel Strategy, & #PublicTransport Strategy.

Lots to like, but also a number of issues. Two things keep coming up:

1. "Encourage" appears too often when "enable" must be the primary focus.

2. Use of language like "we will seek to" and "we will strive" instead of the more powerful "we will". This devalues commitments to near meaningless.
