4. Public transport infrastructure needs to be in place in order for people to get out <strong>of</strong> their<br />

cars. Uxbridge is poorly accessible via public transportation.<br />

5. More motorbike parking spaces required<br />

6. Public transport convenience and reliability needs to be improved<br />

7. Business is being driven away. Planning decisions <strong>of</strong> 20 years ago would promote<br />

supermarkets with free parking. A lack <strong>of</strong> parking affects parking and shopping parades<br />

die as a result.<br />

8. Green travel plans are not anti-car or anti-business. Occasional changes can be made.<br />

9. Car sharing works well but needs organisation<br />

10. The Council has no green travel plan yet but it intends to develop one<br />

11. Cycle lanes are put in for the sake <strong>of</strong> it because they are not used. Lanes cause<br />

congestion.<br />

12. While density on cycle lanes is low they are nevertheless used throughout the day.<br />

13. Access into Oxford and <strong>Hillingdon</strong> Road is poor and can impact negatively upon Uxbridge<br />

14. Park and ride around the <strong>Borough</strong> is agreeable by surrounding <strong>Borough</strong>s. Needs to be<br />

used for local people and not for those going into central <strong>London</strong>.<br />

15. Provision for local workers. Parking is unaffordable.<br />

16. Improve local stations as interchanges and improve links with other stations<br />

17. People who live and work in the <strong>Borough</strong> should be prioritised<br />

18. Transport for <strong>London</strong> has a lot to answer for. Several businesses contribute but do not<br />

get enough in return from Transport for <strong>London</strong>. They do not want to discuss parking and<br />

traffic issues with <strong>Hillingdon</strong>.<br />

19. Reduce charges in Chimes and the Pavilions. May attract the community to park and<br />

shop in the centres.<br />

20. Planning decisions are causing problems<br />

21. Building above stations<br />

22. Car boot sales in South Bucks takes business away from Uxbridge<br />

Accessibility<br />

1. North-South connections in the <strong>Borough</strong> are poor and there and people are therefore forced<br />

to use their cars. No bus link between South Ruislip and Uxbridge. Orbital routes are<br />

required within and outside the <strong>Borough</strong>.<br />

2. Integrated travelling throughout the <strong>Borough</strong><br />

Pedestrianisation<br />

1. Pedestrianisation <strong>of</strong> Hayes is a partial solution. A one-way system could open the centre up.<br />

A by-pass that is a car park. Joined up thinking.<br />

2. Town centres need people not cars.<br />

3. Key workers need parking to avoid getting fined<br />

4. Weekend demand for parking<br />
