Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Respondent: Gamlingay Parish Council
We propose that a Strategic Cycle link is required between Bedford and Cambridge. This link already exists between Bedford and Sandy, and funding has been secured that the link reaches Potton (Central Beds). The proposal in Gamlingay Neighbourhood Plan (SUSTRANS report) suggests this route continues along the B1040 to Gamlingay and Waresley, and follows Waresley Road to Great Gransden-Caxton-Cambourne.

There is a proposal for the Camborurne to Cambridge section already. We strongly urge you to consider including this route within the emerging plan. It will improve the connectivity between villages and access to the transport hub of Cambourne for all residents west and south of Cambourne. Gamlingay parish Council is consulting with local parish councils on the matter and Potton Town Council.
