4.2 KEY STRUCTURING ELEMENTS (FIXES)
GREENWAYS AND CORRIDORS
Many of my neighbours in Waterbeach have chosen to live here because of ease of access to the local countryside. I would therefore suggest that there should be provision for both pedestrian and cycle access from the new town to the river Cam and onward to the countryside on the eastern side of the Cam. Currently, access would be via Bottisham Lock but this will be a significant distance to walk for new residents and could also become a pinch-point.
