Mitcham's Corner Development Framework SPD

Representation ID: 31272

Received: 21/09/2016

Respondent: Mrs Elizabeth Simpson

Representation Summary:

Support - The quicker this is implemented the better as over the years the sense of community has become disjointed due to the priority given to vehicle movement in order to relieve the congestion in the city centre and beyond.
However, in the greater city deal we were informed that there would be a 50% increase in traffic along Chesterton Road at certain times. How would this be controlled in the new Mitcham's Corner layout?

This is the most crucial part of the plan. Agree strongly with the assessment of the present situation.

The character of the area has been completely swamped by the gyratory system where vehicle movement is the only consideration. It has shattered the sense of community and left islands of sanity between which pedestrians scurry at their peril, especially if shepherding young children.
Please proceed as quickly as possible.
