We had a fantastic time at the Coton Village Fête, where the community came together for a day of fun, solidarity, and support. A huge thank you to the organisers for their hard work in creating such a successful event. We were thrilled to take part, garnering tremendous support and contributing to the fighting fund against the bonkers busway proposal. Together, we’re stronger!

We explore another aspect of the debate over the off-road C2C busway that threatens to bisect Coton Orchard. Proponents say it's needed to protect #Madingley #SSSI, but common sense, CPPF and other experts argue a bus lane beside the existing Madingley Road would have minimal impact compared to fragmenting the century-old habitat of Coton #Orchard. This Sunday, after the Coton Orchard Bioblitz,...

Thank you, Anthony Browne & Cllr Stephen Ferguson, for pressing Ian Sollom on his flip-flopping about Liberal Democrats support for the damaging route through Coton Orchard. No apology offered. “Being in control and having control are different,” says Ian Sollom. Why vote Lib Dem if they can't keep pledges or be effective? Nobody is denying, nor objecting to better links between Cambourne and C...

Baroness Jenny Jones (Green Party Peer) & Newnham Greens visit Coton Orchard on National Blossom Day. “Traditional #orchards are vanishing from the landscape in England and Wales with more than 80% lost since the early 1900s so it’s bonkers that #Cambridgeshire County Council are so carelessly throwing its largest under a road for buses. Public transport is important, but here there is a viable...

Members of the Coton village that had attended the South Cambs PPC hustings last week were rather surprised by what came through their letterbox from the Lib Dem prospective candidate.

Verdict is in. The @GreaterCambridgePartnership C2C #BonkersBusway “fundamentally flawed” say former Stagecoach East boss. It’s an act of “economic and environmental vandalism” #SaveCotonOrchard

Discussion of front page news on #EarthDay @BBCNews former Stagecoach boss Andy Campbell stated that the route is fundamentally flawed as there is no easy route onwards into the City.
