North East Cambridge Area Action Plan Issues and Options 2019

Representation ID: 32610

Received: 01/03/2019

Respondent: Mr Roger Hetherington

Representation Summary:

I work for [redacted] in an office at St John's Innovation Centre in Cowley Road. I live in [redacted South-Cambridgeshire Village]. Most days I commute via car into work. Occasionally I use the bus which means for me a 1/2 hour walk from home to the guided bus and a further 10 minutes from the Science Park costing £7.00. If you seriously wish me, and people like me to stop using our cars then you have to reverse policy of the last few decades, invest seriously in improving public transport options serving the rural hinterland surrounding Cambridge and subsidising costs so that it becomes far better value for money.
