I've had concerns, via e-mail and letter, from constituents who are concerned about pavement parking. Many new housing developments are being constructed with very narrow carriageways and insufficient space for cars. That applies to the Cwm Calon Redrow development in my constituency, which is a relatively new development, and people have no choice, because of the bad design by Redrow, but to park on the pavements. One particular issue that any further steps need to consider also is the issue of contractors and trades vehicles that people are driving home from work. These have caused significant obstructions in various different parts of my constituency, and I think it's a planning as much as it is a transport issue, which needs to be addressed. I feel the way forward, following the task group, would be to examine how further consultation will happen, and residents must be included in that, but also developers too. So, can you tell me, once the task group reports, what will be the further plans and how will that then be taken forward?
