Minutes:

Cabinet considered a report on South Cambridgeshire District Council’s response to the A428 Black Cat to Caxton Gibbet Preferred Route consultation.

 

The Deputy Leader (Statutory) said that, even if the final response between Cambridge City Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council, the latter should still be at liberty to make comments unique to the District’s own circumstances. Councillor Grenville Chamberlain asked that the response should highlight concerns about the possible adverse impact on the quality of life of those people living in South Cambridgeshire villages.

 

Councillor Dr. Tumi Hawkins said that the Girton Interchange needed to be reconfigured in the light of development along the A428 corridor, principally at Cambourne West and Bourn Airfield. The Joint Director of Planning and Economic Development replied that no modelling had yet taken place but that officers would investigate. He added that a formal comment on this aspect might have to take the form of a supplementary response from South Cambridgeshire District Council.
