Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 57004

Received: 09/12/2021

Respondent: Trumpington Residents Association

Representation Summary:

The Trumpington Residents' Association notes that there are references to support "via multiple providers" and "in all cases, to encourage competition and consumer choice, this will include the provision of multiple ducts to enable several providers to access the site" (both page 322), but in our experience in the Southern Fringe we are aware that this may not happen. The infrastructure would be in place for early residents, who should not be expected to live without connectively for months, as was the case in some areas of the Southern Fringe.
