The Cambridgeshire and Combined Authority has launched a public consultation on a developing plan for better transport in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. The Local Transport and Connectivity Plan (LTCP) will set the strategy for the future of travel in the region. A 12-week public consultation on the draft LTCP runs until the end of the day on August 4.
The public can take part via the website, www.yourltcp.co.uk or via in-person drop-in events. Two events are in South Cambridgeshire – at Cambourne Church Centre on June 25, from 2pm to 7pm, and Sawston, Spicers Pavilion, on July 14, again from 2pm to 7pm. People can also pick up hard copies of the consultation materials, either at pick up points or by calling the LTCP team.

According to letters from the Department of Transport to the local conservative MPs Anthony Browne and Richard Fuller in Bedfordshire, the new Rail Minister is reviewing the business case for the EWR between Bletchley and Cambridge. They expect to report on their findings in June. These MPs are setting the expectation that the railway will be cancelled; this is based on information that they have not disclosed, but Anthony Browne has also met Grant Shapps. Their interaction with the rail minister has been facilitated by the activities of Cambridge Approaches and BFARe (which is an acronym for Bedford for a Re Consultation).
Meanwhile the rail minister and EWR Co. are indicating that the project is full steam ahead. EWR Co. are arranging a series of public meetings starting in Bedford and working towards Cambridge. They do not expect new information to be released at these meetings. A recent strategy report issued by Network Rail in March assessed how well the railway performs against the road network at peak times. Read more
