Respondent quotes:
“Build a massive park and ride at the top of Eastern road that is free for unlimited time. Have lots of free bicycles to ride on to the island and 24/7 regular and cheap buses. Make one lane of Eastern road a bus lane so it’ll be quicker to get the bus or cycle then drive and that’ll massively reduce the amount of cars on the island. Look at the Netherlands or Paris. Make it more convenient to cycle or get public transport than drive and everyone will get it”
“Promote the council’s already successful “garden Centre“ as a place for advice and perhaps offer window box kits or similar Home planting encouragement. Identify small triangles and pockets of land that are currently not planted, (but covered in slate for example) Owned by the city Council and make sure they are planted and local people encouraged to look after them and take Pride in there [sic] corner of Portsmouth.”
“Stop pandering to private vehicle users – there’s too many cars in Portsmouth, we need to reduce that number”
