GCP St Ives Greenway: Over and Fen Drayton

This consultation has now closed – thank you for your contributions

Our consultation period took place between 6 February and 31 March 2023.

The St Ives Greenway is one of twelve proposed Greenways, which aim to make local walking, cycling and, where appropriate, horse riding journeys safer and easier – connecting villages along the route to each other and Cambridge.

We are currently consulting the public on a number of proposed enhancements to routes linking in to the existing St Ives Greenway, also known as the Cambridgeshire Guided Busway path, part of National Cycle Route 51. These include proposals to better connect Fen Drayton, Over, Oakington, Westwick and Cottenham to the Greenway.

This consultation page is for proposed enhancements to improve connectivity between the St Ives Greenway and Over and Fen Drayton.

We have provided the survey at the foot of this page for you to give your views on our design proposals.

Your feedback is essential in helping us refine our designs and ensure they best suit the needs of your local community.

We are also consulting on proposals to improve connectivity to the Greenway from Oakington and Cottenham via Westwick.

Flood Monitoring

In addition to the two consultations we are undertaking flood monitoring in the Fen Drayton lakes area.

It is well known that the route is liable to flooding in this area and we are working to understand this as part of the St Ives Greenway project.

We have installed flood monitoring equipment that will collect data on any flood locations, extents, duration and depth over the next 18 months.

This will help us to work with the Environment Agency, RSPB and landowners to determine the most appropriate course of action to secure the long-term resilience of the path in the face of a changing climate.
