Whither Whittlesford Bridge?

Lot of things happening down at Whittlesford Bridge, and people are rightly asking how it can be controlled. There is a significant amount of development proposed as well as currently going on, both commercial and residential. And we have the people from the south side of Station Road to bring in to the village, in terms of involvement in the parish council, for example, and of course we have the parking issues on Station Road that continue there.

Discussions going on about how to involve people with an interest, residents and businesses down there, to draw up a sense of what we want to achieve, such as minimum disruption/planned development/clear what impact will be on village amenities such as school and so on.

Then the next step would be to have a session with the county highways people, the district council planners, and anyone else, to do two things: work out what levers there are to control things and where what we want, representing the village, is likely to butt up against planning issues, or business plans etc.
