I thank you very much for those points. Just to reiterate again the key importance that we see to infrastructure being seen in the round when we’re talking about building transport links and the transport citizens of the future. They absolutely have to include walking and cycling.

I’m interested in what you say about the satellite car parking facilities. I think that’s fantastic, because as one of the previous speakers said, some people do have to drive several miles to work, but there’s an opportunity at the end of your journey, for maybe 10 or 15 minutes, to take that last part of your journey and clear you mind before a hard day ahead of you at work, and so on.

I’m really keen to listen to any innovative ideas, wherever they come from, within this Chamber or from the organisations who are supporting our work. I do have to say a big thank you to the voluntary organisations and others who have been working so closely and offering us such great support and expertise over the recent months and years.
