Supersize Cambridge Recordings
Wendy Blythe FeCRA Chair. ‘Supersize Cambridge’
‘Ant Breach, senior researcher for Cambridge City Council ‘s external partner Centre for Cities, a think tank funded by the Cambridge University Chancellor, tweeted earlier this year:
“I make no apologies for demanding growth and a spicy, hot labour market. The CaMKOX are below the national average for CO2 emissions which is why we should build 1.5m homes in them.” Who are the interests promoting the “spicy hot labour market?’ https://youtu.be/BM6X1K4x2iE

Questions
William Harrold’s Question https://youtu.be/84kVgS91bD8
Jean Glasberg’s Question https://youtu.be/-4DnGbxIwos
The official Government consultation on the Ox-Cam Arc Spatial Framework closes next Tuesday, 12th October. It takes about an hour to complete and contains no information at all about the Government’s growth ambitions for the Arc.
Stop the Arc’s homepage which contains a link to the alternative consultation is here: https://stopthearc.org
And here is the direct link to the same survey: https://tinyurl.com/5MinArcSurvey
Stop the Arc’s survey takes just 5 minutes to complete and has far more information about the difficult choices that lie ahead.
Please show the Government what you think about Ox-Cam Arc plans. So far, more than 92% of Stop the Arc’s respondents simply do not want the Ox-Cam Arc.
Stop the Arc’s alternative consultation was created and is run with the active support of the Buckinghamshire Environmental Action Group (BEAG), Cambridge Approaches, the CPRE branches in Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Cambridge & Peterborough, The Federation of Cambridge Residents’ Associations (FeCRA), Friends of the River Cam, Need Not Greed Oxon (NNGO), Planning Oxfordshire’s Environment and Transport Sustainably (POETS) and Smart Growth UK (SGUK).
Best wishes,
Wendy
