 | TFN Business Plan 2023 | Looking to the wider transport sector we will continue to work with our partners to ensure that we have a transport system that offers choice, to champion investment in our highways, and to promote active travel. A well produced report for the 80s/90s promoting more of yesterday's failed thinking! Highways investment will create more nee pollution, fail to understand that you cannot build your way out of congestion. No alternative to rubber wheeled transport including buses. No mention of sustainable public transport and does Metrolink exist to them ? The world has changed this year and sadly TFN hasn't noticed. Get out of the silo thinking and redo this report. | Political Reports |

| Warrington Tram Response | It is this Group's assertion that this revised version of the Local Plan lacks a clear vision for the future of Warrington and essentially PSV2, if it is adopted in its current form, will continue to ensure that Warrington will continue to be a 'car-centric' town. This will severely limit the full economic potential that Warrington undoubtedly has and will condemn it to a future that repeats the unintended mistakes of past local planning policy. | Political Reports |
