@betterbusways
Campaigning against a greenbelt busway in S Cambs around Magog Down. Advocating for an alternative route delivering the same benefits at a fraction of the cost.

As the legally accountable body for Greater Cambridge Partnership when are Cambridgeshire County Council councillors going to start holding GCP to account❓Stop the financial and environmental destruction of our City❓#ClimateCrisis #CostOfLivingCrisis
The GCP are “pausing“ the CSET (Addenbrookes to Babraham busway) because they’ve run out of money. But a £100m cheaper scheme that better connects Addenbrookes was an option the GCP offered five years ago. Tell the GCP to do it now!@BrianMilnes Stephen Ferguson Steve Count
Phil Rodgers Cambridge cows, smarter than the GCP 🌳🪓🟰🥵
A read through the papers Greater Cambridge Partnership proposes to submit for the TWAO indicates that the harm of the route over Madingley Hill and through Coton Orchard is understated whilst that of an on road alternative route is falsely exaggerated.🤷♀️
2 x Greater Cambridge Partnership’ environmentally destructive & financially crippling Bonkers Busway Cambs in Cambridge Independent this week. Instead of asking for more money isn’t it time to start listening to Cambridge Past, Present & Future & deliver Better Ways 4 Busways with the £ms you’ve received Cambridgeshire County Council ❓#BusLaneNotBusway
‘Not in my back yard’ says Cllr Milnes of South Cambs LibDems 🔶 . However he is quite happy to vote emphatically to drive a bulldozer through Coton Village and protected Coton Orchard as part of a land grab on the other side of Cambridge. Such hypocrisy. #SaveCotonOrchard Bonkers Busway Cambs
And it’s transport! Invest in a modern, sustainable light rail system to address growth pressures. Drop the Greater Cambridge Partnership busways, anachronistic schemes conceived over a decade ago. “Everything about Cambridge is booming — except housing supply”ft.com/content/4a486e… via @ft
Will be interesting to see which candidates clearly state their support for Rail Haverhill &/or Cambridge Connect 🇺🇦 in Railfuture EAnglia - essential for any parties supporting the expansion of Cambridge Biomedical Campus. 👀
