Mayor of Cambridge, Gerri Bird says the construction of the Dutch-Style roundabout at the junction of Queen Edith’s Way and Fendon Road should be delayed
Cambridge Area Bus Users would like to thank Gerri Bird for this intervention.
From Monday 9th September 2019, the junction of Queen Edith’s Way and Fendon Road will be closed so that work can be carried out on behalf of Cambridgeshire County Council on the layout of the roundabout. Disruption is expected to last 29 weeks (so until the end of March 2020).
Cambridge Area Bus Users find it unacceptable for Stagecoach’s citi2 not to serve Addenbrooke’s Hospital during this time. Equally, the citi1 route to Addenbrooke’s for those living around Wulfstan Way and Queen Edith’s Way is unacceptable. Such passengers must first travel – in the ‘wrong’ direction – toward Cherry Hinton changing to a hospital-bound citi1 bus, near the Robin Hood, in the cold wet weather of a Cambridge winter. Patients using citi1 or citi2 buses are likely to miss appointment times, whilst key hospital staff may also be delayed, putting patient safety at risk.
