Following improvements from Meldreth Station to Station Road (Meldreth station link), we’re now focusing on preparing the Shepreth spur of the Melbourn Greenway for construction next year, where work will create safer travel for everyone through traffic calming measures, wider footways and more accessible crossing points.  

We first consulted the public on plans for the greenway in summer 2019, which saw further work on the route approved by our decision-making board in June 2020.

In autumn 2022 we promoted updated plans to the public for feedback. Leaflets were delivered to 6,000 households and businesses with an online webinar and two drop-in events anyone could attend. People could submit comments online, over the phone or via the post.

Following this in March 2023, our board agreed to progress with the route. Some changes in response to public feedback are set out in the You Said, We Did report.

• From the A505 near Royston, it follows the A10 all the way to Cambridge via Melbourn, Foxton, Harston and Hauxton.
• Spurs to Shepreth and Meldreth provide links to these villages and their railway stations.
• At Harston an improved path will connect it to the Haslingfield Greenway.
• Crossing the M11 on the Harston-Trumpington path, the route continues into Trumpington Park and Ride alongside the Cambridgeshire guided busway path, with connections to Cambridge Biomedical Campus and Cambridge Railway Station and the city centre.
