A new bridge should be built and it should include a road. This should connect from the area served by the level crossing to Milton Road.

At the moment the Fen Road level-crossing is sometimes closed for 20 minutes continuously. This prevents emergency services from reaching a critical incident leading to potential loss of life. This imposes a serious negative discrimination against the communities at the north end of Fen Road. A new road bridge is required if the council is to meet its equalities responsibility to this community.

Furthermore, a road bridge will improve access for this community to the new services and facilities, and deliver employment opportunities to this deprived area.

Rather than linking to the towpath, it needs to connect to proper roads and to the Waterbeach Greenway.
