EWR Public Meeting – 14 January 2025

/in /by

Haslingfield Parish Council Public Meeting on EAST WEST RAIL’s Public consultation

Come and have your say!

East West Rail (EWR) has invited comments on its new plan for the southern route for the railway. The deadline for responses by organisations and individuals is 24th January 2025 (https://eastwestrail.co.uk/feedback).

The Parish Council is seriously concerned about the impact the new southern EWR route would have on our village. Our key issues with this option are:

  • the design of the tunnel under Chapel Hill – we would prefer a longer tunnel and shorter cuttings to minimise impacts on the village and surrounding countryside
  • construction vehicles must not be allowed through the village
  • all working sites must be located at least 150m from residential homes
  • the duration of construction in Haslingfield should be minimised
  • an ombudsman should be appointed to resolve any urgent complaints about EWR or its contractors during construction.

The Parish Council still actively opposes an EWR route south of Cambridge, but we must respond to this consultation for the new southern route and want to hear your views.

Please join us for a zoom meeting on 14th January from 7.30pm to 9.30pm. The meeting with be chaired by Councillor Ruth Hatfield and all are welcome.
