New Cambridge Mayor Critical of Cambourne to Cambridge Busway

A recent Cambridge News article reported that the new mayor of Cambridge and Peterborough, James Palmer, is highly critical of the City Deal's plan to build a busway linking Cambourne with Cambridge. The busway is a critical piece of the City Deal's proposal to support the development of new homes in our area including on Bourn Airfield. Mayor Palmer criticised what he described as the short term thinking and lack of strategy associated with the South Cambridgeshire Local Plan:
