This was the @EnvAgency’s position on the development of Northstowe new town in August 2020.
You have to wonder exactly what has happened since then to change their minds.

Coton may not be as pretty as some of the better known surrounding villages but it certainly done not deserve to have @GreaterCambs @SCLibDems C2C busway ploughed through it. Coton is supportive of better public transport but please use existing infrastructure.#ClimateEmergency

Fews Lane Consortium is asking @SouthCambs to agree to mediation to resolve ongoing disputes about the groundwater collapse affecting Longstanton.

Happening all over the country and probably the world. Greenwashing at its worse? Better a 100 that thrive than a 1,000 that die. There are good groups out there like Tiny Forests and Avon Needs Trees that provide after care, but they seem to be in the minority when looking.
Rather than pushing for decarbonisation, my council @WestNorfolkBC planted 6000 trees - in May🤦
This week I checked 150 of them - 90% were dead. Of those, 15% weren't even properly planted in the ground.
What a shocking waste of effort and money!

The Cam at Hauxton just outside Cambridge - looking well down. Thanks Rob for sharing .
AONB designation isn't worth much these days?

To avoid upper Cam reaching all time low, flow is augmented from an aquifer borehole! STW outflow is most of what’s in the river but is so heavily laced with Phosphate that it is killing the natural ecology of the river. @Feargal_Sharkey @AquiferChalk

"The first proposals for the emerging Greater Cambridge Local Plan explicitly set out that the plans are entirely dependent on water supply being available without unacceptable environmental harm.” But current development is causing unacceptable harm!

Oh dear @Danielzeichner Not a good look for any politician. And no wonder you didn't accept my invitation to join campaigners trying to save the River Cam and surrounding special places from development and abuse from @AnglianWater and @camcitco

It is widely known that CB City & SCambs are in a high water stress area. The UK is heading for drought orders. Plans to pipe water from elsewhere may not be possible to meet the needs of agreed & proposed growth. Time for a rethink? @cam_friends @CPRECambs – at Langton Matravers, England
