Public Meeting on the CSET Busway (Better Ways for Busways)
February 18 @ 7:30 pm GMT
Better Ways for Busways (BW4B) are holding a public meeting at 19:30 on Tuesday 18th February at Great Shelford Memorial Hall, Woollards Lane, Great Shelford. CB22 5LZ. Everyone is welcome!
In January, following approval by the County Council, the GCP submitted their proposal to the Government to build their bus-only road (busway) through the green belt close to Stapleford, the Shelfords and Sawston. The GCP busway proposal will now go to public enquiry where it will be examined in detail.
The scheme has been opposed by Stapleford Parish Council and a number of local organisations including the Magog Trust and Cambridge Past Present and Future. They are in favour of an alternative route for the busway that would be cheaper, potentially more useful for village residents, and have far less impact on our green spaces. There is more information on this alternative proposal on the Better Ways for BusWays website.
At the public meeting, the CEO of Cambridge Past Present and Future (CPPF) will present the case for BW4B’s alternative busway route.
2G3S encourages you to attend the meeting, and voice your personal objection to the CGP scheme. Objections must be submitted by 7th March. Please send in your objections to: www.bw4b.org/how-to-object
Donations towards the costs of presenting the case are also welcomed. You can donate using the link on the CPPF website, here.
