Cambourne to Cambridge Better Public Transport and Active Travel – Environmental Impact Assessment consultation
Officers from the Greater Cambridge Partnership will give a presentation on the consultation seeking views on how to best manage and mitigate impacts of the scheme on the landscape and environment.
Public consultation is open until 11 July 2022 www.greatercambridge.org.uk/c2c-eia
Minutes:
The Committee received a presentation on the GCP consultation. A member of the public asked a question regarding the number of diesel buses that may use the C2C busway. The officer replied that the buses would be at least of Euro 6 standard as a minimum which are able to be used in designated Clean Air Zones (eg. as London). But it should be noted that an Environmental Impact Assessment would be undertaken as part of the statutory processes.
Discussion took place on how the junction with Grange Road and the (current access) road to the Rifle Range would work, noting a large tree would be required to be taken down. The officer noted that the current plan was for between 6-10 buses an hour.
The committee thanked the officer for the presentation.
