Cambridgeshire Live – NHS workers slam traffic near hospital as ‘absolute nightmare’

The traffic makes the news again, with our very own John Greenhalgh and Joe Corrall contributing commentary for the piece.

John Greenhalgh, chair of the Hinchingbrooke Residents’ Association, said he has repeatedly shared concerns about congestion. He said it is “scary to think what could happen” if an emergency vehicle is delayed getting through the road. He added: “Ambulances getting caught is a matter of public safety. Sometimes every second counts.

“It’s been like this for a number of years. You will see ambulances come down from the hospital. They get out and then there is a big HGV and they [ambulance] can’t get through. We are in a situation where it will only get worse with developments.”

We’re very hopeful that continued visibility like this will build into action, helping us resolve the traffic issue affecting our estate and improve the area for everyone.
