In this para refers to Market Harborough Transport Strategy 2017-2013. All M.Harborough allocations require to contribute.
STRATEGY NOT APPROVED AND JUST A WISH LIST.
We responded to consultation in January 2017. Objected to some of the proposals- suggested other projects be included. Still waiting for a decision. Hope we will not be ignored.
Not clear which projects are relevant to which developments. Projects require Finance, Design and Land acquisition. so not Sustainable in the life of the Plan.

If this development goes ahead a reliable and frequent bus service must be provided to the other facilities in the Town. An hourly service ,which does not run in the evening or Sundays, is not good enough.
