Safer travel for Haslingfield, Grantchester and Cambridge.
Safer walking, wheeling and cycling between Cambridge and the western villages of Haslingfield, Hauxton and Grantchester.
The greenway will make it safer and easier to reach the key places off the greenway and will also connect to the Melbourn and Barton Greenway for better connections to the Cambridge South West Travel Hub, the Sidgwick Site and the West Cambridge Campus.
As well as providing better access to Cambridge Rugby FC and enjoying the Bourn Brook and Grantchester Meadows.
Where we are
The project is now in its final design phases, and once complete, the greenway will be a place full of nature’s vibrancy for all to enjoy, whether you’re cycling to work, going for a run or simply enjoying a leisurely walk along a greener, more sustainable route. The full planning application will be submitted in the spring.
How we got here
We first consulted on the route autumn 2018 with further engagement on our updated plans in summer 2022. Our decision-makers on the Executive Board agreed to proceed in December 2022 subject to a more detailed consultation for Grantchester.
That consultation was held in summer 2023, which our Executive Board agreed to take forward in January 2024. These are summarised in the You Said We Did report.
