Draft Regulation 18 Sandwell Local Plan

Representation ID: 704

Received: 18/12/2023

Respondent: Miss E Garrehy

Representation Summary:

When it comes to transport within the Black Country specifically Cape Hill and Smethwick, during the last consultations when West Bromwich got its regeneration regarding the bus station moving and the new boundary was drawn up. These 2 areas were suddenly excluded from being part of the Black Country, which in turn meant residents within the area were no longer able to purchase and use the black country bus tickets or passes and subsequently had to pay more for bus travel. Is this something that can be looked into as to why they were excluded.
