Save Coton Corridor 🍃💚🍃

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-green-…

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=sS5M…

‘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

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.
