So, here is a screenshot of the area of which Whittlesford train station and the junction of the A505 and the A1301 is the centre, and I've added the three main bio-tech -pharma science hubs of the Wellcome Genome Campus at Hinxton, the Babraham Institute, and Granta Park at the Abingtons. Then there is the Hexcel site at Duxford, and the proposed bio-tech development to go on the old Spicer's site between Sawston and Whittlesford. All in all, quite a centre of investment and growth in bio-tech science.
The green lines show cycle paths, and cycle friendly routes. And they - almost - join up. The A505 is -well, the A505.
The question I want to ask the economic and transport boffins at the county council is whether there is any sort of plan for managing growth and traffic volumes, and any investment, in the same way that thinking, and investment, has gone into how to get people in and out of Cambridge. I wonder what percentage of the sub-Cambridge economy comes from these hubs?
