On the back of the government announcement today to spend £8.2m providing a boost for cycling in and around Cambridge, the County Council's bid for funding for a cycleway to Granta Park from Whittlesford Station has been successful.The three miles (12 -15 minutes approx cycling, depending on how fit you are) will enable people working at the Granta site to commute via Whittlesford, as well as linking the Abingtons to the station. At the moment the very fast and busy roads are totally unsuitable for cycling - though you do see some brave souls chancing it.
This good news for creating real connections between transport options.
