There’s a constant negative narrative that Cambridge is dead, defunct, nobody goes there, all the shops are shut, etc.
The reality is rather different, with Cambridge ranked number 1 in the Retail Vitality Index - out of 1,000 retail centres in the UK.

Better bus services, please! Not managed decline. Mayor Bristow must live up to his promise to 'Get Cambridgeshire Moving!'

Could health do for transport what it did for smoking?
Car-first streets mean crashes, pollution, noise, stress, inactivity and isolation.
Public health changed smoking by making the risks impossible to ignore.
It could do the same for transport.

Did you know good transport is good for our health?🧐
Research shows people who walk, cycle or use public transport are more likely to meet recommended physical activity levels.
That's another reason to invest in better buses, trains and active travel. 🚲🚌🚶💚

One of the biggest problems with trying to run a decent bus service is the impact of congestion - all the other vehicles clogging up the roads. This report might be 10 years old but the points it makes are still true today.

Waterbeach: station carpark and bike parks full and overflowing onto the nearby streets…today. A busy station that must not close. This village station and the new one for the New Town are both needed.

The £192m Cambourne to Cambridge busway has been approved, but big questions remain over how it will work once buses reach the city and whether the benefits stack up.

Bus users warn the Cambourne to Cambridge busway will ‘force more people into cars’ without a Grange Road solution. They say the £192m scheme is “outdated” and won’t fix congestion.
