This opportunistic project at Water End and St Neots Road in Renhold does not support The England's Economic Heartlands' strategy to focus on decarbonisation of the transport system by harnessing innovation and supporting solutions which create green economic opportunities; and promote investment in digital infrastructure as a means of improving connectivity, in order to reduce the need to travel.
Furthermore, it fails to:

1. Support the delivery of low carbon transport by working towards reduced congestion, digital connectivity, and a net zero carbon system by 2040
2. Promote connectivity and accessibility in new development, and link
new and existing communities
3. Support opportunities for active travel and green infrastructure
4. Promote and support infrastructure development which reflects the ambitions of the three preceding principles.
Please look again at these plans which threaten Renhold and its rural village way of life.
Please accept that youhave chosen the wrong location for this kind of development and agree that they contradict your agreed focus on decarbonisa tion.
You must be bold enough to cancel it. After all, you are supposed to be representing the' people who currently live in Renhold; none of whom are seeking employment in a great white elephant that is a 'Science Park' which, in reality will simply morph into a Warehouse Distribution Centre, however noble the intentions of the landowner.
