Focus on people access not vehicle access 2. Provide efficient and effective alternatives to car access 3. Parking policy and strategy must support sustainable transport 4. The appropriate amount of parking for a centre will be well below the unconstrained demand for parking 5. The provision of parking requires a demand management, not a demand satisfaction approach 6 Parking must be managed as part of an integrated transport strategy for Guildford
