Representation Summary:
the Plan should actually promote the use of the former Bedford to Cambridge rail track bed for any future East-West rail link.
To promote a route which swallows up acres of valuable arable land and the beautiful North Bedfordshire countryside is against the stated green and environmental objects also included in the plan.
The Borough cannot claim to be green while also encouraging the rape of the countryside in its area.
The current political situation should make us all completely aware of the need to retain agriculture land for our own food growing and green credentials.
