Please Respond to the East West Rail Consultation
There is a window of opportunity for all Haslingfield residents that care about the impact that EWR would have on our parish including Chapel Hill, the poor residents who would have construction sites close to their homes and indeed all of us who would suffer years and years of disruption, to provide formal feedback to the proponents of the scheme. Our Campaigning in 2021 has resulted in some changes for example a short tunnel through Chapel Hill, but there are still many issues. There is a Cambridge Approaches post here which explains how to do respond and describes some of the issues you make wish to raise. If you think it would not affect you I recommend that you have a look at this video from 8:50. You might also reflect that this railway is intended to support growth of the Cambridge Economy (although the evidence presented for that very flawed) and that if you divided the capital cost of building the railway equally amongst all residents of the greater Cambridge area today we are being asked to pay £53,000 each.
The Parish Council are also organising a meeting which I believe is 14th January 2025 at 1930, they will no doubt confirm the details of that.
