Poor infastructure within the community has a knock on effect on the ability of our children to walk and cycle to school. Roads likes the Rock Road and the Mullagharlin Road without footpaths, and roads without bicycle lanes and seriously dangerous juctions like sextons, means that more cars at peak times with schools are casuing massive traffic congestion and Health and Safety issues.
Housing built without the infrastructure that should go with them.
Proper flat green areas within housing estates that children can play on. Not lots of small and hilly green spaces just to make up the area for the developer getting over the planning rules and regulations which are unsuitable, unsafe and unattractive for all our children.
Developers finishing outside these estates properly with some development levies used accurately and for the local area for proper and safe footpaths from estates to schools finished as part of a larger plan.
Shops and local amenities within a certain distance for people should be accessible by well-maintained cycle lanes and safe and suitable footpaths for people to at least have some comfort and not needing to drive everywhere. This is where climate action funding should be spent.
