At the North Area Committee meeting on 17 April the County Council officer in charge of the building of the Guided Busway gave a presentation on the busway's development.
One interesting aspect of the discussion was that he said during question and answers that he believed that there was no need to widen the road to accomodate current or future bus traffic.
The day after I wrote to County Cllr McGuire (in charge of transport) and County Cllr Pegram ("Cabinet Member for Environment") to ask whether this would mean that the threat to Milton Road trees could be lifted.
Frustratingly, they have yet to reply.
The good news is that the reason given for the moratorium is not supported by the County Council's officers. The bad news is that the County seems unwilling to admit this!
However as the report to the Area Joint Transport Committee was postponed (again) to July, you can still sign our petition online, or email us (see the contact) or write to Save Milton Road Trees, 19 Kirkby Close, Cambridge, CB4 1XP
