A quiet route between Fulbourn, Cherry Hinton and the city
- Linking south-east Cambridge to its superstores, shops and facilities.
- Creating better schools runs to Fulbourn Primary and Cherry Hinton primary, The Netherhall School and St. Bede’s Inter-Church School.
- A direct, low-stress, low-traffic route away from main roads for walking, wheeling and cycling.
Where we are
The Fulbourn Greenway will be discussed at our Joint Assembly on Wednesday 16 October 2024. The assembly will consider recommendations for constructing Phase 1 and starting public engagement on Phase 2 after engaging with local members. The relevant documents will be published soon.
The greenway is being developed in three phases.
- Phase 1 runs from Fulbourn village to Yarrow Road.
- Phase 2 runs from Yarrow Road to Brooks Road with proposals being developed alongside Network Rail.
- Phase 3 runs from Brooks Road to Cambridge Railway Station.
How we got here
A first public consultation was held in Autumn 2018 and our decision-making Executive Board agreed funds for the greenway in February 2020.
With updated designs, we sough public feedback for four weeks in Summer 2023. Leaflets were delivered to 9,600 households and businesses and we held an online webinar and a drop-in event anyone could attend. Anyone could submit comments online, over the phone or via the post.
Our January 2024 Executive Board meeting agreed to progress the eastern section (phase 1) with the changes outlined in our You Said We Did Report.
Subject to agreements with Network Rail further engagement on phase two of the greenway will be carried out.
