SAVE HARDINGS WAY EVENT 4 JULY

Thank you to everyone who answered the Masterplan consultation despite the awkward website. As you know, one of few bad ideas in there was a car park on the edge of South Lynn that would be accessed by driving in the south end of Hardings Way cycleway/busway and turning right across outbound traffic, basically resurrecting part of an old plan which was abandoned due to opposition from the community including BUG.

The Community is staging a United for Nature Event for No Car Parks or Development on Hardings Way on Saturday 4 July 10.30 - 11 am at Hardings Way Bus Gate, near Wisbech Road, South Lynn, and we have been invited to attend by County Councillor Alex Kemp, Borough Councillor Charles Joyce and Kevin Waddington.

This will be a family-inclusive event, so please share the invitation with your family, friends, councillors and anyone who cares about nature, cyclist or not. Guest Speakers will be Wise Owl and other Animals.

The Community of South Lynn needs more, not less green space, for its health and wellbeing and in the recent consultation residents said they want more green space and safer cycle lanes. Putting motor traffic on Hardings Way would make the cycleway less safe, with drivers turning across cycle traffic to access the car park. Transforming the two brownfield sites into a Space for Nature, not a car park, would create more Greenspace.

Please go along and support the event on Saturday morning. We've stopped similar stupid ideas before and we can stop it again.
