Cambridge Northern Fringe East AAP - Issues and Options

Representation ID: 29348

Received: 18/12/2014

Respondent: Dr Alan Mayes

Representation Summary:

Network Rail's disused private access road from Milton Road to Chesterton railway sidings running along the north side of the Business Park is currently a wasted asset. It should be made into a public footpath and cycleway for pedestrians and cyclists travelling to and from the new railway station. This would also enable the Crown Estate to install side entrances on the North side of the Cambridge Business Park to shorten the walk between offices on the Cambridge Business Park and the new railway station.

Making Network Rail's private access road from Milton Road to Chesterton railway sidings running along the north side of the Business Park into a public footpath and cycleway would help to meet these objectives.
