Safer travel for Comberton, Hardwick, Coton and Cambridge.
Safer walking, wheeling and cycling between Cambridge and the western villages of Comberton, Hardwick, Coton.
The greenway will make it safer and easier to reach Cambridge University West Campus, the Sidgwick site and Newnham. As well as better access to Comberton Village College and Long Road Sixth Form.
Hardwick engagement Monday 7 October – Friday 1 November
We want your views on our proposals for Hardwick: your feedback will influence our next steps.
Our proposals include a safer, 20mph speed limit and changes to junctions, including:
- widening pavements where possible
- providing crossing points for people walking
- traffic-calming measures at key points in the village
- enhancing the landscaping with more planting
For more information, and to share your feedback, please visit our engagement page.
The engagement closes at midday on Friday 1 November 2024.
Where we are
The greenway is in development with early works in Comberton village complete.
Our assembly and board agreed proposals to bring forward early works schemes in Coton and Adams Road (Cambridge) on Wednesday 2 October.
Coton street improvements
We are proposing some important safety improvements in the village. The plans include the installation of two raised tables at the following locations:
- High Street and Cambridge Road
- Whitwell Way in front of Coton C of E Community Primary School
These raised tables aim to improve pedestrian safety and help reduce traffic speeds in these areas.
Adams Road improvements
To improve safety on Adams Road, we are proposing traffic-calming features and junction improvements, as well as red surfacing to indicate priority for people cycling. New planting would be placed to enhance the streetscene, better absorb rainwater and reduce dangerous overtaking.
How we got here
We first consulted on the route spring 2019 with further engagement on our updated plans in summer 2022. Our decision-makers on the Executive Board agreed to proceed in December 2022 with some changes in response. These are summarised in the You Said We Did report.

Route Overview
Starting in Comberton, the route heads north on Long Road and continues towards Coton. It then goes over the M11 bridge and carries on past the Cambridge University West Campus. A new link branches off towards Barton Road before the path continues along Adams Road, Grange Road, Sidgwick Avenue and before reaching Silver Street.
