As we are mainly a rural community and thus transport is a problem.Unlike urban communities we are reliant on cars,so the need to accomodate them is paramount in any reorganisation. The need to service as an alternative the aging population within the area must be included. Building of housing without near by access to public transport is not an option, integration is the key and this has not been thought through. Rural services have to be subsidised otherwise communities reliant on such services will suffer in the long term.
