Cambridge Northern Fringe East AAP - Issues and Options
Representation ID: 30287

Turnstone is broadly supportive of the key transport and movement principles identified within the AAP. Turnstone consider however that there would be merit in expressly making reference to the significant role that could be played by the new railway station at the edge of the AAP area, and also to the Guided Bus, both of which clearly have scope to help meet the objective to minimise journeys to the site by private car.

Having said that, the AAP should not fall into the trap of assuming that those who might gain employment at CNFE will only arrive by train or by Guided Bus, as other modes of transport, e.g. conventional buses, cycles, journeys on foot and other journeys by road will also contribute to arrivals to the CNFE area. It is furthermore important that the AAP emphasises connectivity not only from immediately adjoining residential areas, but also to the entire City of Cambridge, and other locations further afield where journeys can be made by sustainable transport modes.
