Sir David King, former Chief Scientific Advisor to UK Government, sums up why @GreaterCambs busway via Coton Orchard is flawed. "There are alternative ways... expressways either side provide that opportunity...[rather than] yet another roadway through the middle of a green area".

@MillRoadBridges @camcitco @cllrkatie @mikelode1 @st_friendsof @PACTcambridge Re “latest Rpt to @camcitco Planning Cttee (Presenting Officer Joanna Davies) appears to weight arguments in favour of removal of these three 100+year-old trees”. Closing argument of QueensColl barrister re felling trees impacting Nature Reserve “It was tree officer’s choice”.

@CarbonNtrlCambs @CambridgeGreens @sam_carling_ @greenarteries @TransitionCambs @FoeCambridge @camcitco @CambsCC @CambridgeLabour @cambstravelall Let’s not pour concrete across our countryside for a bus road and say it’s ‘a key part of decarbonisation’ or fell 100s of mature trees to ‘reduce air pollution’ @LNethsingha #BusLaneNotBusway #CutTrafficNotTrees #SaveCotonOrchard 🖊 https://t.co/gmVvYbHR0A

@cppf_pc @st_friendsof @CambridgePPF @mikelode1 St Matthew’s Piece is a cool, tranquil mini woodland in our busy city. During the last hot summer it was noticeable cooler in this space. Thank you @cppf_pc for recognising the importance of these 100 year old trees in this conservation area

[CambPPF P&C @cppf_pc]

The trees at #stmatthewspiece make the area special. Help save them by objecting to the application to fell 3 London Plane trees at https://t.co/y8dArj0EG8. Here's what we said https://t.co/qiB2NeGD9n @st_friendsof @CambridgePPF @cllrkatie @mikelode1

A Tree Protection Order has been urgently requested, councillors and tree officers are involved but watch this space, the @st_friendsof are literally doing so.

Some of our volunteers are in today’s @CambridgeIndy, helping to highlight the plight of #toads (and other #amphibians) in central Cambridge. Unfortunately, they often need a hand returning to their breeding ponds at this time of year. #ToadsonRoads #TheGrateEscape

The night mare of our park's future continues.....
It will be a good thing to get help from our local parks dept.
Anyone interested in getting involved with helping protect our beautiful little park from future imposing development?
