Been busy reviewing the Greater Cambridge Partnership (GCP) latest scheme which cuts through green space and agricultural land.
Went to see figures from Cambridge Past, Present & Future and Better Ways for Busways today - and saw the proposed route. A 14 metre wide, tarmac and concrete "guided busway", cutting across the fields from Babraham, Sawston, Shelford & Stapleford to Cambridge Biomedical Campus (CBC).
A better way has been proposed - to upgrade the A1307 and explore better rail provision.
It would address the congestion hotspots on the A1307 with in-highway bus lanes a new dedicated spur into the Biomedical Campus.
This busway looks like yet another reason why we should scrap the GCP.
