We’re delighted to see our issues making it into the local press, with the Hinchingbrooke estate making the news with Cambridgeshire Live:
Our very own John Greenhalgh spoke on the ongoing traffic problems, and upcoming proposed developments:
“Having lived on the estate for 25 years, I have seen it change from a small estate with about 250 homes that had no traffic problems. Then, to one that has approximately 2,000 residents in over 800 homes where residents, hospital staff and visitors regularly take around 30 to 60 minutes to get off the estate at peak times. We have one road in and out and each time, and it gets worse with new developments.”
“Residents on the estate have concerns over increased journey times, noise and pollution, increased risk of flooding in the area, a worsening of their quality of life and potential devaluation of their homes. The building of a logistics park with 13 huge warehouses that will generate 2,500 HGV and LGV movements per day will inevitably lead to greater traffic congestion for those using Hinchingbrooke Park Road.”

We hope visibility like this opens debate, and allows constructive discussions about the future of Hinchingbrooke to between all parties to take place.
