The proposal to include both the Cambridge Northern Fringe East (CNFE) and Cambridge Science Park is welcomed. The highway network in the vicinity of both sites already operates at capacity at peak times of the day and in order for the intensification of either or both sites to be acceptable in transport terms, the way in which people travel to, from and within the sites will need to be significantly different in the future. it is essential that key pieces of infrastructure are used to their maximum potential and the area considered holistically.

The proposal to include both the Cambridge Northern Fringe East (CNFE) and Cambridge Science Park is welcomed. The highway network in the vicinity of both sites already operates at capacity at peak times of the day and in order for the intensification of either or both sites to be acceptable in transport terms, the way in which people travel to, from and within the sites will need to be significantly different in the future. Now that Cambridge North station and the Guided Busway have been delivered, along with the prospect of the area being connected to the CAM network it is essential that these key pieces of infrastructure are used to their maximum potential and the area considered holistically. The proposed boundary is therefore supported.
