The Red Lion Hotel's planning application to build a modern bedroom block behind the historic hotel has been successful. I supported the application when it came before Planning Committee of South Cambs District Council, because it seems to me that it provides an opportunity to put the existing family run hotel on a secure footing and benefit the area in terms of jobs and trade. It is a large block, but running alongside the A505 and the station, not near people's houses. It will be attractive to the Americans visiting the air museum at Duxford, and may provide another restaurant in Whittlesford. I also think a bit more activity in the evening will reduce the problems of the rail station, as it will be less isolated.
