Cambridgeshire LAF welcomes opportunity to provide input into Waterbeach Neighbourhood Plan and how it might be revised and improved to better reflect existing and potential future use of the non-motorised transport network across Parish of Waterbeach.
Recognise that it's a very comprehensive plan, with a lot of concern for biodiversity, historical sites, and conservation. Pleased to see and support policies that aim to protect, enhance and develop the rights of way network providing a network of routes to promote walking, cycling and riding and to point out that circular routes, or routes that link with others, are particularly recommended.
We have the following specific points to make about the plan:
1. Footpaths need to be safe and the footpath at the exit from Car Dyke Road on to the A10 isn't (a baby was killed there recently, and mother is still in hospital).
2. We have concerns about the route of the proposed busway out from Cambridge needing to have houses demolished.
