We support the Greater Cambridge Partnership's aims to deliver 'sustainable and inclusive communities' by connecting new developments to existing transport networks. The Partnership's commitment to the improvement of Whittlesford Parkway Station will ensure that there is enhanced capacity for the projected increase in commuters both to and from Whittlesford Bridge. As such, commercial development at Whittlesford Bridge is ideally placed if the goal is to maximise public use of the improved Whittlesford Parkway Station, and there is some guarantee that the enhanced facility will be able to accommodate additional footfall generated by such developments.
We would emphasise that rail services are the most sustainable form of public transport and development should be situated in conurbations with rail connections (e.g. Whittlesford Bridge) to ensure that incoming residents can travel sustainably.
