  • Reference: 2017/4625
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2017
Sir Mark Boleat (Chair of The Housing and Finance Institute) has recently called for a complete overhaul, of what he calls, deeply flawed planning system which gives far too much attention to 'articulate groups who make a lot of noise'.

Double Decker Buses on Rushout Avenue

  • Reference: 2017/4621
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2017
Thank you for your reply to question 2017/4073 concerning the introduction of a double decker vehicle on routes H18/H19 to accommodate 'increased demand in school journeys during the AM and PM peak'. However, any notion that this vehicle operates during the stated hours has been strongly challenged by local Councillors and residents.
