We support the view of Professor John Wood, Head of Department of Veterinary Medicine, University of Cambridge that the Cambridge - Norwich high tech link is potentially very positive: “we have very strong links and hope that a lot of biotech will continue”. However, regarding housing needs now and in the future wealthy people will always source housing but there is insufficient housing for the people who most need it to support the biotech sector: the technicians, veterinary nurses and innumerable support staff. Robust and well managed social housing schemes are the best way to provide this. We also caution against increasing our carbon footprint through the linkup. We really need a good cycle route for the electric bikes that should be ubiquitous in 10 years’ time, not further road development.
I attach the feedback from Broadland Green Party members on the GNLP Consultation.
