The Oxford-Cambridge Arc refers to the area between Oxford, Milton Keynes and Cambridge. The national government has identified this as a strategically important area and has a number of development plans for the area. This had included the Oxford-Cambridge Expressway, but this project was cancelled in April 2021.
CoHSAT is concerned for the implications of developments in the Oxford-Cambridge Arc for active and sustainable travel.
We invited David Rogers from the No Expressway Group to speak at our 2021 conference so that Oxfordshire residents could be informed.
Two of our 2021 election manifesto ‘asks’ relate to the Oxford-Cambridge Arc: ensuring that car-dependency is reduced in new housing developments and opposing any major road expansion.
