#Cambridge So I came 2nd… I wonder if this attempt helped MY victory over the LDs? I look forward to hearing from all those LDs who were very quick to attack my campaign…

GCP backers push an #orchard vs. #woods narrative, pitting communities against each other—divide and conquer. But Madingley Road isn’t moving. Adding an inbound bus lane, as CPPF suggests, would nudge traffic over, likely helping the SSSI, not harming it. Meanwhile, GCP’s Ā£200m

#Cambridge Unfortunately you can’t vote for Labour* or LibDem* - when will the people of Cambridge WAKE UP, put Party politics behind them and vote LOCALLY to what’s best for Cambridgeshire? *this is the second time these two partys have voted to destroy Coton Orchard 😔

#cambridge Well done Edinburgh - Ā£50m to be raised from ā€˜tourist tax’ Isn’t this the same amount the Lab/LibDem alliance wanted to fleece car drives for via the CON Tax? Just imagine what could be done with Ā£50m per year… https://t.co/tuGiq9bq6B

A tourist tax designed to raise £50m annually will be introduced to Edinburgh from next year.

It's a tough trading environment on the UK high street. Investment in a low traffic Mill Road will further protect local businesses by making it a place to go to, not drive through @neil4labour1 @richardhowitt @mikelode1 @CambsCC @GreaterCambs https://t.co/B3RJWZkrDB

#Cambridge ā€œā€¦it will cost 5 old trees. Butā€¦ā€ That’s OK then, as how many 100s of millions have the GCP already spent achieving a 6% reduction in bus usage and a 29% reduction in cycling… Time for the GCP to be disbanded? Latest transport dashboard:

I understand why @CotonView wants to protect its village. 🌺 I am sure you understand why @camcitco wants to reduce the 100k cars driving in our city? 🌺 @GreaterCambs can do this by an active travel/busway that is separate from traffic. 🌺 Yes, it will cost 5 old trees. But… 🌺

Good see the money raised is now over Ā£6,000 which more than raised to fight the CON Charge… If it does close, there are 3 local businesses, and a great cafe, that I will no longer spend at - as the diversion pushes me past National chains šŸ˜• https://t.co/tqyxBTg8WO
