(A) Future of Bishop's Stortford (submitted by Mr B Edwards)

Having attended the Community Voice meeting on the Bishop's Stortford Master Planning Study, I feel strongly that Councillors should put party politics on one side and unite to take on the common issues for the town of Bishop's Stortford. I would ask that in parallel with active comments on the totally inadequate proposals, they establish a set of bargaining positions against which some development of the land north of the town (ASR's) could be considered, for example:

1. Detailed traffic survey followed by complete review of the highway layout to ameliorate traffic congestion in the town and achieve a pedestrian precinct along Potter Street at least.

2. Upgrade of the policing service for the town.

3. Improved school facilities.

4. Improved health facilities.

5. Establishment of 3 Park and Ride facilities to reduce traffic in/out of the town centre. One south (Thorley Wash). One West (Tesco area) in addition to the one East (Birchhanger).

6. Better sports and social facilities for all but especially for the 11 - 18 age group.

7. Investment in Rhodes Centre to give a quality entertainment centre.
