Splendid—six new fruit trees funded, showing a welcome appreciation of their value. So, can we expect this wisdom to be applied on 11 Feb, or is it just a bit of green optics while 500 Coton orchard trees face the axe at the other end of the village❓🌳🍎🚌❌ #SaveCotonOrchard
Another day, another successful projected funded in South Cambs using UKSPF funding allocated by us to improve green spaces.🌲
Residents in #Coton can enjoy eating apples, plums and cherries produced from the orchard this summer.🍎
Stay tuned for more UKSPF projects!
We very much hope that @borofergie and his independent colleagues will support @CotonBusway at tomorrow’s crucial vote at the County Council. Don’t let @GreaterCambs run a bus through Coton Orchard with its protected trees and status as a county wildlife site 🍎🌳🍏
Coton Orchard in the Telegraph:
‘As a busway threatens to rip through 60-acres of biodiverse Cambridgeshire countryside, residents are fighting to preserve the historic site.’

Will 300 cross-party, expert-backed objections make @CambsCC councillors think twice when asked—22 months on, this Tuesday 11th Feb—to back the GCP £200m+ CtoC busway❓
🚆 Gov backs rail (EWR)

❌ Time to say no GCP❓ 🗳️ 🤔

Letter from campaigners, sent to councillors today, ahead of full council being asked to confirm the C2C TWAO on Tuesday.
In March, the Busway was formally approved by 33 votes to 26 at the full council meeting.
County council elections take place in May.
Interestingly, @CambsCC councillors appear to be voting, to confirm ‘that the (C2C busway) application should continue’, at full council next Tuesday (11th).
This requires ‘at least half’ of councillors to vote for it👇.

Let's use existing road infrastructure better. I think @CambridgePPF is right. I would say the way the first consultation disregarded gantries and flexible lanes was absolutely shameful, time to rethink.
