Re: Re: Metro West

sorry, yeh the land use section itself was more or less rejected. The DTO doesn’t regulate transport It co-ordinates all the other agencies and works with county councils on transport issues. I don’t think they have any real power at all, as far as I can tell. Correct me if i’m wrong but that’s my understanding,,,,

I agree with you on the substantive issue. The major problem is that local authorities make poor planning decisions with no regard to transport stategies. The original DTA document sought to overcome this through the DTA havin the power to reject develpemtn plans and major planning aplications but this has disappeared. And I’d remove “virtually” from your last statement…
