We support the requirement, where possible, for existing links such as the canal network to be
enhanced. This is consistent with policy ENV7. We have suggested amendments to policy DEL1, above, to further support this.

As well as providing opportunities for sustainable travel within the Black Country, the canal network provides opportunities for sustainable travel to/from neighbouring areas. We note that nothing within policy TRAN5 excludes the possibility of improving such links but we would suggest that the supporting text is amended to confirm this. At present, much of paragraphs 9.50 to 9.52 'refers to within the Black Country'
