North East Cambridge Area Action Plan Issues and Options 2019

Representation ID: 33003

Received: 25/03/2019

Respondent: Gillian Bickerstaffe

Representation Summary:

The statement ' a socially and economically inclusive ' area, is fine as far as it goes. However as it stands this will ' exclude ' the Traveller community from being ' included '. This community is cut off for a considerable portion of the day as their only access is along Fen Road, Chesterton, across the level crossing. Because of Cambridge North Station the crossing is closed for a long time. This community has a relationship with the new development area, and access for them should include the provision of a vehicular bridge across the railway from Cowley Road.
