The additional meeting this evening (Thursday 4 February) has been arranged to allow residents and interested groups the chance to discuss the City Deal’s proposals for Histon Road and Milton Road.
The Greater Cambridge City Deal was signed by the national government with local councils, business groups and the University of Cambridge to provide significant funding for investing in transport, housing and skills in the Cambridge area.
The first £100m of funding is being made available for transport improvements, including proposals to improve bus, cycle and pedestrian travel on Milton Road and Histon Road, which are currently being consulted on.
Representatives of Cambridgeshire County Council, the City Deal Board and Cambridge City Council, including Leader of the Council and City Deal Chair, Cllr Lewis Herbert, will attend the meeting on 4 February to give an update on the consultation process and to answer questions about the proposals.
Cllr Mike Todd-Jones, Chair of the North Area Committee, said: “This additional meeting is a great opportunity for anyone who wishes to have their say on the proposals for improving transport on Histon Road and Milton Road.
“The representatives from local councils and the City Deal board will be happy to answer questions from the public, and discuss the proposals for these important routes in and out of the city.”
The meeting will be held at Chesterton Community College on Gilbert Road, from 6pm-9pm.
