2.3 NON MOTORISED USER PROVISION<br />
Problem 8 - Provision for non motorised users<br />
Local road network from Swinford <strong>Road</strong> to Local Link <strong>Road</strong> to Rugby <strong>Road</strong><br />
Problem<br />
The provision for non motorised users has<br />
not been made clear to the auditors. There<br />
is existing provision from Swinford <strong>Road</strong> to<br />
Rugby <strong>Road</strong>. The new layout must make<br />
provision for non motorised users and<br />
should be easily understood by them.<br />
Recommendation<br />
Provide details of non motorised user<br />
provision to the audit team.<br />
Designer’s <strong>Response</strong><br />

Pedestrians<br />
Provision for pedestrians agreed with the Ramblers Association and local Parish<br />
Councils at recent consultations:<br />
