Restrict the number of vehicles approaching the town centre by a) increasing park and ride facilities at the town border, b) drastically restricting parking space available to non-residents in the town centre, c) improving public transport. If the new vehicle bridge can be used wisely to draw traffic away from the gyratory system AND bold initiatives are taken to reduce vehicle numbers and shift usage to more sustainable modes, the highly commendable Waterfront Town Centre dream could become reality. There must be methods to stop traffic being drawn in from the A14 (height/weight restriction for the new bridge? diesel surcharge?)
