Draft Black Country Plan

Representation ID: 10709

Received: 07/09/2021

Respondent: Mr Richard Slaughter

Representation Summary:

Walking and cycling along canals don't mix, towpaths too narrow. Pedestrians only.

Roads are in a terrible state, potholes, unremoved debris, markings for cycle lanes, etc often worn away. I often cycle on roads in Dudley, but often feel I am mad to do so.

Roads need to be redesigned (and better maintained) to encourage safe cycling and priority for buses, in such a way as to actively discourage and frustrate car drivers.
