Paul Bristow statement on Cambridge Growth Company mass transit study
Mayor of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Paul Bristow has responded to today’s announcement by the Cambridge Growth Company of a mass rapid transit study to support growth in Greater Cambridge.
Paul Bristow said: “When I was elected, I promised to get Cambridgeshire and Peterborough moving through action that makes a real difference.
“Today’s work by the Cambridge Growth Company and the Combined Authority on Mass Rapid Transit is an important step in showing that.
“Greater Cambridge is expanding, with one of the country’s most innovative economies, but its transport system hasn’t kept up. To keep creating jobs, opportunities and breakthroughs, we need transformative infrastructure investment.
“Our Local Growth Plan sets an ambition to triple the size of the region’s economy, and better transport will be central to achieving it.
“This Mass Rapid Transit study will provide an honest assessment of what a modern, reliable, connected system should look like and give us the evidence to make the right long term decisions.
“Sticking plaster solutions won’t do. This study restarts a long stalled conversation and supports the Government’s wider growth ambitions.”
