Representation Summary:

Support but require changes. Two more bridges should be in the Transport Proposals. Firstly, a pedestrian and cycle bridge across the Gipping from the Elton Park site to Boss Hall and the Sugar Beet Factory site and secondly, across the railway to connect the Felixstowe Road "Coop" area and the Foxhall road area. Both of these would improve porosity and encourage walking and cycling where the alternative route is so long that inevitably people will drive. If included in a Policy document now, it will be easier for future planners to insist on them in future applications.
