Draft North East Cambridge Area Action Plan

Agree

Little Abington Parish Council recognises the need to upgrade the area of NE Cambridge that is under consideration. It will offer an opportunity to increase the housing supply close to the city centre. Initiatives to discourage motor traffic, make excellent provision for non-motorised traffic, increase biodiversity and to provide plenty of open space are welcome. Although the proposals include opportunities for local employment it will be important to ensure there is adequate traffic management for routes into and out of Cambridge City. At present routing is not clear and there is rat running through residential areas. Several Abington residents work on or visit the nearby Science Park. They will probably continue to drive there unless there are efficient direct public transport routes across the city.
