Concentrating on Cambridge East takes advantage of existing clusters and will relieve the pressure on the Southern Fringe resulting from any expansion of the Cambridge Biomedical Campus.
I support your policy and proposals.
I repeat my comment above that It is essential that all development is synchronised with the relevant infrastructure. This is particularly important for transport and connectivity. A comprehensive network of rapid, accessible and cheap public transport provisions is essential, as is full provision for those people for whom a car is essential, such as the disabled.
Encouragement of biomedical and other high tech opportunities could take advantage of the potential ease of connectivity with the existing clusters around the Cambridge Science Park, Cambridge Business Park and the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, while by-passing the City Centre. This approach will also relieve the pressure on the Southern Fringe resulting from any expansion of the Cambridge Biomedical Campus.
