Views Wanted On City Access Plans

Greater Cambridgeshire Partnership want to hear thoughts on plans to improve walking, cycling and public transport links from Waterbeach and Eastern areas into Cambridge city.

 The Greater Cambridge Partnership’s Waterbeach to Cambridge and Cambridge Eastern Access schemes look to make it easier for people to get into and around the city.
 
People are being asked to share the challenges they face travelling into the city from these areas and what they think about potential improvements to walking, cycling and public transport along these routes.
 
Cllr Roger Hickford, Chair of the Greater Cambridge Partnership, said: “The A10 and the A1134/A1303 routes suffer from significant congestion, with thousands of new homes and jobs planned for the area. Work has started on the Marleigh development on Newmarket Road while plans for Waterbeach New Town are advancing.  
 
“It is vital we invest in better public transport and walking and cycling routes to help people get to jobs, schools, or other places quickly and safely without relying on using a car, so we can cut congestion and improve air quality."
 
The Cambridge Eastern Access and Waterbeach to Cambridge projects – along with two other dedicated public transport, cycling and walking routes put forward by the GCP – could form an integral part of the Cambridgeshire Autonomous Metro (CAM) in the future.
 
The online engagement campaign closes on Monday 3 August.
