New searchThe complete omission of equestrians from the non-motorised user transport and travel sections needs to be corrected. The Peterborough and Cambridgeshire Local Transport/Travel Policy and government Active Transport/Travel Plan both formally state that non-motorised users are walkers, cyclists and equestrians, not just walkers and cyclists. The Greater Cambridge Partnership Greenways initiative is to deliver high quality non-motorised user routes for walkers, cyclists and equestrians. There are many equestrians in and around Cambridge city and its rural surrounds on all sides. Horses live within the city confines and are regularly ridden across, through and around it. Wherever your documents and consultations reference "walker and cyclists", that needs to be amended to "walkers, cyclists and equestrians". Your map 2.1.3 shows Mere Way as a "non-surfaced off road cycle route". This is incorrect. It is a Public Byway and therefore open to walkers, cyclists, equestrians (ridden and driven) and unless there is a wet season closure gate on it, it is also open to motorised traffic too. The Chisholm Trail project underway should be usable by equestrians as well as cyclists and walkers. All three groups are vulnerable and need safe routes across the city. The Genome Trail path from Shelford to Addenbrookes should be open to equestrians.

Your open spaces should include allotment spaces (plenty of them) for householders to rent too.

Creation of new inclusive non-motorised (NMU) routes for walkers, cyclists and equestrians gives ample opportunity for creation of biodiversity corridors with appropriate grassing, flowering plants, vegetation, hedges and trees bordering such routes which will mean that the new NMU routes also cater for wildlife and bees as well as humans on foot or with dogs, horses or cycles or wheelchairs.

10pc biodiversity increase is appalling. It should be at least 50pc. One of the best ways of achieving this will be to create combined inclusive non-motorised routes (for all of walkers, cyclists, equestrians) along a cohesive network of corridors across and through and out of and around the area with a wonderful, good, rich mix of grassland, flowering plant, hedge and tree planting along all of these routes. This will provide extremely wonderful benefit for wildlife both in terms of foraging, food, shelter and movement.
