Bedford Borough Local Plan 2040 Plan for Submission
Representation ID: 9309
Received: 28/07/2022
Respondent: Milton Ernest Parish Council
The whole plan is heavily relent on the EWR project going ahead. As there is now some uncertainty whether this project will move forward, how will the Borough Council manage this eventuality?
Milton Ernest Parish Council would like clarity on how the EWR Bedford to Cambridge section will impact the A6 corridor, in particular the consequence of high-speed trains travelling high above the floodplain as they leave Bedford and the increased traffic passing through Milton Ernest Village as a result of increased rail usage.
