Plymouth Plan Consultation9 more themes...
Arts & cultureCity pride & visionEconomyEducation & learningGetting aroundGreener PlymouthHealth & well beingLiving & housingLocal community
...but why not enterprise ?
Plymouth Plan ConsultationWhat we like...
The visionThe 4 main strategic objectivesSafeguarding of the airportGrowth to 300,000 people by 2031Retail, housing & employment land show no need to redevelop the airport
Most of the rest of it...Health, education, environment etc
Things we said in Connectivity Consultation that have been adopted
Plymouth Plan ConsultationWhat could be improved...
Needs more simplification & a clear summaryAirport opening needs to be in the measures of success
Air connectivity is implicit is the strategic outcome to have “excellent transport and communications connectivity...”
What is meant by “strengthening links to Exeter and Bristol Airports” and how ?
Recognition that Exeter is not a secure optionSafeguarding needs to include airspace and runway extension land at Estover
Plymouth Plan ConsultationConclusions
PCC should be congratulated on setting out a bold agenda for positive change
Hardly anyone in the city disagrees we want our airport so its now time to focus on delivering that objective
Vital to protect the airport land and also provide for a runway extension towards the end of the plan period
We can't control investment in trunk roads and railways but we can re-open our own airport
Need to see the airport in the “Infrastructure and delivery plan”
