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 />
