Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options
Representation ID: 57865
Received: 12/12/2021
Respondent: Histon and Impington Parish Council
parking proposals for bikes need to be bolder. Cambridge local plan currently says fewer than one cycle space per room in shared accommodation. This needs a complete re-write. Need to assume multiple bikes of different types per person, space for cycle maintenance, secure storage and storage that feels safe e.g. for women at night. Need community wide spaces for shared facilities e.g. bike trailers and e-cargobikes. Also need to use section 106 money to retrofit neighbouring communities so that they aren't left behind, e.g. Kings Hedges/ Arbury even Orchard Park not sufficient facilities for cycle storage compared to NE Cambridge.
