The plan to build a motorway through the heart of the city, coupled with a sensible increase in speed limits, is not just about enhancing roads, it's about paving the way for Cambridge to continue its legacy as a hub of innovation, progress, and vibrant urban life.

It's about finding a balance that respects both our heritage and our need for modern infrastructure. So, while I am cautiously optimistic, I believe a comprehensive and careful approach is vital."
