Representation Summary:

Support, but the network as presented in Figure 9 should be much more comprehensive. At a minimum, all Tier 1 and 2 centres should be connected or in close proximity to the cycling network. Currently it appears Bearwood, Cape Hill, Stourbridge, Cradley Heath, Bilston, Bloxwich, Brownhills, aren't. The network should also not just 'end' - eg the stub running west from Blackheath should connect to another section of network. Connectivity to Birmingham cycle networks should also be highlighted and promoted to encourage sustainable travel across the region.
