Ms Anne Graham:

I wish to make one final point. The proposals we are putting forward are to deal with the growing congestion in the city. It is about trying to encourage more people to use public transport as part of their journeys and giving priority to public transport and sustainable transport. That means the space is not available for car users. That possibly increases journey times for those that use their cars but we have to start giving priority to the bus where we possibly can. We always said it would be challenging and would cause impacts locally but the aim is to try to improve sustainable transport and bus priority. We would not propose something that would make it worse for buses. What we are about is making it better for buses and bus users and encouraging more people to use buses and means of transport other than the car.
