Increase Green Space in Romsey
Romsey currently has less than half the national average green space per person. Expanding public green space would improve the town's appearance, air quality, and access to outdoor community spaces.
Improve Pedestrian Access in Romsey
Romsey's pedestrian infrastructure is inadequate, with heavy traffic and too few crossings putting residents and visitors at risk. This motion calls on local authorities to install additional pedestrian crossings, create dedicated pathways, and introduce traffic calming measures to improve safety and boost the town's economy.
Increase Parking in Bridgend Town Centre
Bridgend town centre is experiencing a parking crisis worsened by the opening of a new college, with vehicle numbers up over 20% while parking spaces remain static. This motion calls on Bridgend County Borough Council to expand parking infrastructure — including multi-storey car parks and use of underused spaces — to ease congestion, support local businesses, and improve quality of life for residents.
Local business support and high street vitality needed
Community members are encouraged to support local businesses to prevent closures, particularly on specific commercial streets.
