Representation Summary:

5.2 MOVEMENT AND PLACE
Object to access to the railway station being via Cody Road and SPD needs to address traffic, parking and rat-running impacts on Waterbeach.

Waterbeach railways station needs to be moved immediately but with preferential access and parking for local residents who majorly contribute to local and national economies. The Cody Road 'solution' however is unrealistic. A reliable zipper-bus or RT system is needed from outset. Not everyone is able to walk and cycle the new distances for H&S, age and disability reasons.

Traffic, parking and rat-running issues need to be tightly managed and coordinated with A10 development.

Residents of Waterbeach deserve clear, vehicular access to the new station. Station needs to be moved first and fast, and with a ban on construction traffic through Waterbeach.

The upgrade of the A10 is of less importance.
