Representation ID: 330

Respondent: Mr Robert Drury

Representation Summary:

The dream of the 15 minute neighbourhood is just that, a dream. How is this possible within a town filled with Victorian streets, 1950s estates, and badly planned industrial areas. The aim shouldn't be to bring more people into the densely populated areas, but to provide opportunities outside of these areas, in new communities that can be self-supporting. Only in new communities can you begin to develop the 15 minute neighbourhood. And it doesn't even need to be limited to 15 minutes. It should be less.
