Greenfield
This whole area should be rewilded, and linked to Coldhams Common by a green bridge. It should be a safe haven for wildlife and therefore be closed to the public most of the time. No dogs.

Lungs for the city, and life support system for all wildlife that is endangered due to pesticides, habitat fragmentation, new housing development and roads.
The biggest constraint is Cambridge Ahead members and Labour councillors both pushing growth. Cambridge Ahead primarily to build min reg standard unimaginative housing to maximise profit margins, labour councillors to try to get rid of the waiting list for council homes that still hasn't reduced despite the endless new developments that have already gone up around the city.

We need to protect our green spaces from gardens to fields, to airport land. We need to look at existing housing/office footprints and designate a small number of conservation areas and then redevelop and densify the rest. There may be more of us, but we need to take up less space. We should create lots of microapartments close to where people work, so they can walk or cycle to work or school. We should redesign Cambridge for bikes, while cars will have less space. Maybe a one way system. The Grand Arcade Car Park should become microapartments for people who work in the city centre. We could close the city centre to all motorised traffic between 8am and 3am. Buses could connect up with rickshaws at the entrance to the city centre. All roofs should be green or covered with solar panels.

Stop building on green fields. Make space for wildlife. Reduce car use by making cycling easier and safer. Solar panels, green roofs, replace gas boilers with heat pumps.

We should have a net gain in green spaces and wildlife. Green roofs, and green walls. Ban pesticide use. Make hedgehog holes in fences compulsory. Incentivise tree planting and shrubs in front gardens, by providing a biodiversity discount on council tax to green homes. Tackle light pollution by turning off street lighting at midnight.

Green bridges are better than wildlife tunnels. Community engagement one estate at a time to join up garden habitats and educate home owners/ occupiers about the benefits of wildlife.
