Cambridge Northern Fringe East AAP - Issues and Options

Representation ID: 30386

Received: 04/02/2015

Respondent: Milton Parish Council

Representation Summary:

In 6.10 you say "there are no recorded instances of groundwater flooding within CNFE". Milton Parish Council was always concerned with the high water table South of the A14, and flooding on Chesterton Sidings and Fen Road Chesterton area. The very important First Public Drain provides for the whole of NE Cambridge (from Huntingdon Road eastwards), and Orchard Park, not just "the surrounding area".
Please consider safeguarding the old surface water drain under the sidings (and existing railway) straight through to Camside Farm, which could be a cheaper route for a sewage connection under the railway to Fen Road residences.
