Draft North East Cambridge Area Action Plan

Respondent: Cambridge Cycling Campaign
We support the location of a variety of different types of jobs and businesses in the area so that as many people as possible are able to travel to work without driving. However, the distribution of jobs and homes is unbalanced, with the western half of the site remaining business-focused and therefore likely to be quieter and less used outside office hours. This could have an effect on the safety and perceived safety of those walking and cycling through the area.
We support plans to move existing heavy industrial activities away from homes, schools and key walking and cycle routes – e.g. by converting Nuffield Road Industrial Estate to residential use – although we feel this area should also include some shops and services. Consideration should be given to providing a connection from Nuffield Road out to Milton Road when reconfiguring the Milton Road junction with the busway, particularly if the underpass will be removed.
