GOLDEN MILE Stakeholder Workshop
Feedback….
The workshop was well attended and raised many important points tobe considered through the course of this project including:
• The need for better public transport provision and/or links toexisting stations to unlock the potential of the Golden Mile;
• A concern about traffic generation and the existing congestion onthe network;
• The need for improved amenities within the area for employees;• Providing stronger links to existing facilities within Brentford;• Providing a mix of uses within the corridor to diversify the offer;• How any future change would impact existing businesses;• Strong leadership from the council is required.
On the whole there was broad support and enthusiasm for the ideasand direction currently being pursued by UIs and the LBB.
