Retain Villagers Access to Granta Park
Allow the villagers of Great and Little Abington to retain access to the Granta Park site.
Why is this important?
It was understood by the Parish Council and villagers that we would be allowed unrestricted access to the common areas of the Granta Park site, as agreed during planning negotiations. It is an integral part of village life, with many residents having used this area for recreation for over 30 years. It provides a safe route to the village from the Land Settlement to the centre of the village. This is particularly important for children attending the school. They will be forced to use Pampisford Road, which has no footpath. The traffic calming methods which have been installed are ineffective. This road is now considerably busier due to the amount of traffic generated by Granta Park employees. The employees of Granta Park enjoy the facilities of the village, particularly at lunchtimes. It would be a shame if the villagers were not afforded the same privileges of enjoying the grounds of Granta Park. As far as we are aware there have been no issues caused by villagers having access to Granta Park.
