Some lovely news to share:
Bridge to Royston
We’re delighted to let you know that the Greater Cambridge Partnership is recommending that it fund the long-awaited pedestrian/cycle bridge to Royston.
This would complete the Melbourn Greenway and the Cambridge-Royston route. September meetings of the Joint Assembly and Board will need to consider papers and agree recommendations in order to allow next steps – so much work still ahead.
The item falls within Item 7, Future Investment Strategy – page 392
We’d like to say a big thank to all our campaigners, young, old and in-between, for helping to get us this far, since our campaign started in 2013 – and your continuing support is still needed. We’ll aim for a campaign meeting in person sometime this autumn, after the key GCP meetings have taken place and we have a clearer picture of what’s next.
Path maintenance
With nesting season now over, work will be taking place soon on overhanging and side vegetation along the path from Melbourn to Hauxton. Further work, including a siding out of the path, will take place over the course of the year to keep the path in better base condition than of late. This is possible thanks to a new maintenance grant from Bruntwood SciTech at Melbourn Science Park, and a newly agreed plan with Herts and Cambs Grounds Maintenance. This is coordinated by volunteers.
Please note that this does not take the place of County Highways, but supplements the two annual verge cuts and spot work in their brief. Please, if you notice anything along the path that needs doing, report it here:
