Save The West Fields

Campaigning to save the iconic rural meadows, fields, woods and wildlife of historic West Cambridge, Coton, Barton, Madingley, Grantchester and the Gog Magogs

Landscape is an important part of the quality of life for people everywhere in Cambridge, in urban areas and in the nearby countryside 🐝🦋🌸🌼

The sky may have been gloomy, but these majestic horses lit up everyone’s day 🌞

Horses from the Waldburg Shires stables help to cut @Kings_College wildflower meadow every year. Using horses has a far lower impact on soil compaction and the flora of the meadow compared to using a tractor.

The River Cam in autumn's grace
Reflects the sky in soft embrace
The willows bow with quiet cheer
As golden leaves fall far and near

There is a moral need for more housing near Cambridge as key workers, University staff and many others are priced out. However, by going for the big win - a vast new City of 250k houses the big vested interests are going for huge overnight change and many £ billions would be made

[Save The West Fields @SaveTheWFields]

We have long questioned @Cambridge_Uni and @GreaterCambs whether the large plans for bus routes and rail routes across Cambs would precede big housing plans. Today we now have clear evidence such plans are under discussion with 250k possible new houses @CambridgePPF @wildlifebcn

[Save The West Fields @SaveTheWFields]

Cambridge 2040 would quadruple the population and concrete over much of the countryside near Cambridge and would turn it into a Birmingham sized city with over 1 million people @CambridgePPF @wildlifebcn

[Save The West Fields @SaveTheWFields]

Today the Sunday Times reported on new Government Plan "Cambridge 2040" to build up 250k new houses around Cambridge in next two decades @CambridgePPF @wildlifebcn
