Local Plan 2040 Draft Plan - Strategy options and draft policies consultation

Representation ID: 3618

Received: 16/08/2021

Respondent: Miss Mandy Wilson

Representation Summary:

I support Option 2c. This would allow the current A421 to be used, upgrades are due at blackcat and A428. East/west rail plan a station at StNeots or Tempsford as part of the east coast mainline and this goes into London, plus a station is due at Wixams. If building at Wyboston its important that mitigations are put in place in villages like Thurleigh to ensure they do not become a rat run as AECOM seem to think people going to Cambridge will go into Bedford and out ( much longer route) rather than straight through Thurleigh to St Neots
