Disagreement with objective 3
Summary
- Larger proportions of respondents aged 35-54 and living outside of PO1-PO6 disagree with objective 3 (11%-12%) which is to improve air quality and reductions in carbon emissions through utilising parking to support development of sustainable travel as an attractive choice for residents, visitors and businesses
- A fifth of respondents disagreeing with objective 3 feel that it is anti-motorist and restrictive
- 18% think it will lead to more expensive parking and / or driving charges
- 12-14% disagree because air quality is not a priority for them, they don’t think cars are the main cause of poor air quality, and they feel that public transport needs to be much improved and advertised better to reach new user groups

| 5 | Public transport needs to be improved / promoted more | 12 |
| 6 | Sustainable travel not always an option e.g. not enough safe cycle lanes, not safe to walk in the dark, need to be smartly dressed at work | 8 |
