Rob lit up Madingley Hill like a runway to show what a line on a map really means on the ground: farmland cut in two, hedgerows torn out, and Coton Orchard facing devastation 🌳🚌❌ #SaveCotonOrcard ✏️ change.org/p/save-the-gre…

Congratulations to Paul Bristow as the new Mayor of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. We welcome his plan for delivering light rail to get the region moving. It’s time to turn the corner on the lost decade of the GCP C2C & CSET Busways & build a positive system of mass transit. 😃

The “GCP spokesperson” claims in @Cambslive that “The on-road options have been fully assessed and, if bus lanes were to be provided, they would also damage areas such as Madingley Wood, an ancient woodland and site of special scientific interest, and the setting of the American Cemetery.” This is misleading. The on-road alternative utilises the existing road, which remains regardless of the chosen routing. The @CambridgePPF alternative, which safeguards Coton Orchard, has the backing of the AMC Superintendent and experts. Journalists, next time GCP tells you this, challenge them to explain precisely what damage the SSSI would suffer 📺 youtu.be/E3rHS1w_wlI?si…

Today @CBG_Connect submitted to DfT an objection to the @GreaterCambs Cambourne - Cambridge Busway. The busway will harm precious Green Belt near Cambridge, which is unnecessary - great alternatives exist. The busway is outmoded & poor value. We offer plans for a better future 😀

‘The GCP’s proposed Cambourne to Cambridge busway, sold as “green” with promises of electric buses and active travel, falls far short of its claims. These habitats, formed over decades, cannot be replaced by token planting.’ 🗞️ Andrew Levy mol.im/a/14255989 via @MailOnline

Busways offer very poor value for money in reducing road traffic and emissions.
Bonkers Busway Cambs News@BonkersBusway

I was trying to take a break, but the councillor’s gaslighting couldn’t be left unchallenged. It isn’t “just” Coton Orchard that will be cut in half but also family farms across @MadingleyHill, which will be taken out of food production. Hundreds of mature trees are set to be felled along the route, including within a City Wildlife Site beside M11, and thousands of tonnes of concrete will be poured that will take 60 years just to offset. The harm to nature is far from the “short term” impact he implies. An off-road route isn’t operationally necessary, as over 50% of the journey will be on-road. For more facts, visit @CotonBusway website.

@sky_larking @dave4labour @CotonView @camcitco @GreaterCambs We’ve repeatedly pointed to the relevant pages of the TWAO and leading experts on orchards and biodiversity weighed in. Dave knows the harm goes beyond ‘5 old trees,’ yet he keeps gaslighting the public. This scheme is costly—financially and environmentally—and unfit for purpose.
Bonkers Busway Cambs News@BonkersBusway

@lin6_thomas @CotonView @CotonBuzz Clearly Dave didn’t bother to read their own EIA statement before voting to bury Coton Orchard under concrete … 490 “fruit” trees, there will also be a loss of hundreds of non-fruit tress (oak, ash, elder…) and 1.3km of hedgerows 🌳🍎🚌❌ #SaveCotonOrchard
