Waterbeach Greenway

The GCP have proposals out for the Waterbeach Greenway and CamCycle are encouraging people to support their suggestions for better cycling support than currently proposed eg

  • Separate space for cycling and walking within Milton village to provide a more pleasant route that reduces conflict between users
  • A better option for Milton High Street that reduces vehicle speeds and creates a nicer place to shop and spend time
  • More space and greenery between Milton and Waterbeach, making the most of the Greenway to create an excellent leisure route for rural walks and horse-riding as well as an enjoyable link for those cycling between home, work, school and other destinations.

You can find out more on: CamCycle Website.
