My last post from @GoCambsTidalBus Best wishes and best of luck to all followers. Living and working with the multi-layered democratic deficit in Cambridgeshire is a huge challenge! Special thanks to @EdwardALeigh and @CBG_Connect and @greenarteries
Rather confirms my decision to move back to Wales: @EdwardALeigh on Cambridge politicians acceptance of 65% growth without a plan for the infra-structure or to defend quality of life: smartertransport.uk/growth-r…

The C2C and CSET busways which are planned to be ploughed through the greenbelt rather than using existing infrastructure, that @SCLibDems are promoting, will be a really appalling legacy to leave future generations.
It is time Boris Johnson’s Conservatives stopped taking people for granted, time people got a fairer deal, time we guaranteed a better life for future generations. youtube.com/watch?v=3a5s_U_o…
Can you start a conversation with @GreaterCambs please about #climatechange to explain that assaulting the Green Belt & providing Greater Car Parks is not the answer to reducing car journeys in Cambridge
Starting the conversation 💬 about #climatechange 🌍 can sometimes be daunting.
The @TheCCoalition are sharing some tips to help make having those conversations easier. Find out more here 👉

Enforcement appears to be an optional extra. Skills shortages and lack of funding for planning departments means that trees are needlessly damaged and removed. @michaelgove it takes 50 years for a young tree to have an impact on climate change. We must #CherishTrees
Road pricing could be a national strategy which negates @GreaterCambs Greater Car Parks daft plans: theconversation.com/road-pri…
When will Cambridge wake up to @GreaterCambs bound-to-fail Greater Car Parks strategy? @EdwardALeigh bemoans their dangerous lack of vision: smartertransport.uk/gcps-car…

#COP26 @BorisJohnson @RobertJenrick
500 campaign groups are registered on this map, all fighting to save their own local environment.
Across the country the story is the same: communities ignored & landscapes bulldozed.

@michaelgove @ab4scambs @CEN_HQ @NikJohnsonCA please do something about Greater Cambridge Planning.
It's the wild west. No planning enforcement, no regard to environmental limits on #water, no accountability, and possibly unhealthy relationships between Cam Uni and China.

We're STILL waiting for @camcitco to take any enforcement action for this development at 291 Hills Road in Cambridge.
It undermines the public’s confidence in the integrity of planning system when developers can be seen to be breaching planning conditions with absolute impunity.

This article demolishes the argument by @cllrbridget, @lewis_herbert & others that @camcitco and @SouthCambs are powerless to stop development where there is no possibility of adequate water infrastructure.
The planning powers in place in '75 continue in effect via the 1990 Act.

Re location of sewage works taking green belt of 3 Cambs villages to support employment led growth in city with a water crisis & Cam full of sewage? Anglian Water gets tax payer £200m to re locate plant working well yet doing nothing about all the antiquated village sewage works?

New homes in north east Cambridge to be built with half a parking space each. Presumably by then Trinity College & the Councils who have invested will have “clawed back” 7,000+ parking spaces at Cambridge Science Park? democracy.cambridge.gov.uk/d…

As @SmarterCam has stated, getting to the station from the car park will require pedestrians dashing across the A10 at an uncontrolled crossing (if you can find a gap in the traffic).

This is not a good look @SCLibDems
• Scrutiny committee meeting CANCELLED again (last scrutiny meeting was also cancelled)
• Planning committee audio disconnected after allegations of wrongdoing made against council
• No accounts available for this year, or last year, or the year before
This is @SouthCambs.
