Only way to achieve a large modal shift is to provide a rail station on the existing railway line.
We have proposed that a new station be built at the point where Fulbourn Old Drift used to cross the railway line. The south side is readily accessible from Fulbourn and much of Cherry Hinton as well as from northern Cherry Hinton, the proposed new development and Teversham.
The station would also give workers at the local employment sites a practical alternative to driving into work at Peterhouse Technology Park (home to ARM), Capital Park, Fulbourn Hospital, Tesco, etc.
Please see attached document
Summary:
*Impact the development will have on the local road network, and the modal shift required to offset that impact.
*Inadequacy of the proposed mitigations.
*Role of a railway station in stimulating modal shift.
*Opportunity to improve the urban environment of Cherry Hinton by re-routing through traffic away from the village.
*Requirement for walking and cycle routes to be available from when residents first move in.
