Spring is here, and apart from a few hiccups with the ever capricious English weather there is the promise of warmer days to look forward to. Summer fetes, concerts, barbecues, light evenings to enjoy the countryside, check out your Meridian to see what is happening in Swavesey. Check out also the new website which we have set up, this is updated weekly so there should always be something new to interest you. If your organisation wants to let everyone know what you are planning then this is the place to do it. Talking of planning I see that the Guided Bus/Rapid Transport system has been moved another step forward by the powers that be. The theory is all very well but no-one has yet answered the question of what happens when this rather large vehicle hits the medieval streets of Cambridge. The new generation of buses struggle to manoeuvre in the narrow streets so what is it going to be like when this one joins the Cambridge chaos? I would also like to know where all the cars that people use to get to the stations are going to go? I know there are designated “Park and Ride sites along the route but you have still got to drive to get there and will this not just add to the already busy local roads through the villages- traffic calming is not going to deter people from using these roads if they are the only means of getting to the bus stations! But then taking the cynical view I see that congestion charging may yet appear in Cambridge (despite protestations to the contrary) so I suppose we may find we are forced onto the buses anyway! Deadline for the next issue (June/July) is 25th April. Keep those articles coming!
