Received: 12/12/2021
Respondent: Histon and Impington Parish Council
Greater Cambridge is dominated by high end tech and science jobs. There is not enough diversity of opportunity. For climate change we need a higher level industrial strategy across the county. Some lost industries should be onshored, reducing global transport emissions and not relying on Chinese coal powered electricity for manufacturing. Cambridgeshire as a county should play a role in that. Cambridge Science Park North presented an opportunity to create a different type of hub, with technical development roles which are lacking in this county and the country. It also had excellent transport links across county.
