Quotes about the Urban Audit data from Fareham’s MP, Mark Hoban, and Fareham Borough Councillor Woodward

23. The Executive Leader referred to data recently released by the Office of National Statistics which shows that Fareham has the highest level of car ownership of any town or city in the country at 539 cars per 1,000 of the population. He summarised opinions that high car ownership is a sign of a prosperous area and is also common in medium sized towns with a population of over 100,000. This compares with densely populated cities which are generally far better served by public transport and therefore car ownership tends to be much lower. The Executive Leader suggested that these statistics justify why a large proportion of Hampshire County Councils’ road budget is being spent in the Fareham area.
