Safer Cycling and Walking to and from North West Cambridge

South Cambridgeshire resident. Parent of University of Cambridge Primary School pupil - living in Girton

Grandparent and carer when taking grandaughter to UCPS

Girton resident and parent of child attending UCPS

I am a University member and Cambridge City resident.

My granddaughter Lily is a pupil at the school, they are constantly told to get healthy . Therefore as we also want Lily to be healthy and fit, we want her to either walk, scoot / or cycle as she gets a little older. That is our commitment to our children, Yours MUST be to ensure without reservation a safe route to school , a crossing is essential for our children /grandchildren to ensure their future lives ! Do it now ! Before any accidents happen .

My granddaughter Lily attends the University school, to promote exercise we encourage her to scoot or walk to school....BUT you need to ensure the safety of the children ( your next generation )? It's an absolute MUST to provide a safe crossing to enable the children to lead the way promoting a healthy lifestyle !!

I am a member of the University and a resident of Girton. I cycle into Cambridge along the Huntingdon Road every day. This is now ridiculously dangerous. Going in to Cambridge the diversion round the Skanska building site means that I am forced into the traffic (which is frequently travelling more than 30 mph). Coming back from Cambridge the traffic cuts back across the cycle lane immediately north of the junction with the West Cambridge site. I have cycled this route for the last 22 years and I have never been more worried about being involved in an accident. In my view a serious accident will occur if something is not done soon about this appalling road layout.

University Primary School Parent

Cambridge City resident. Childminder collecting child from the University School.

Thornton Road resident. Not only do I worry for those that are already having to cross Huntingdon Road but I also worry for once the overall site is finished and there is more traffic (cars/cyclists/pedestrians) all trying to get in/out of this development.

Girton resident, grandparent of UCPS child. Vulnerable Grampses need to get across the road safely too. I'm too apprehensive to try to control 2 small children across the road currently.

I cycle from Girton past the new development every day, and feel that a crossing for kids, across Huntingdon Road adjacent to the entrance road to the school would make sense. Especially if it were also a bike crossing like the ones in town.
