What would you like to see in the plan this time around?

Libby Totton Reporter from Cambridge Edition

A controversial Cambridge transport plan which was panned after a lack of consultation on a new bridge location is getting a ‘reset’, with hopes a newly appointed executive will lead the project to calmer waters.

Waipa District Council announced in early April Cambridge local Kate Mayes would be leading the reset of the troubled Cambridge Connections plan, and will be joining council ranks as executive director on Monday May 5.
