a) I think that the proposal to build a new sewage works on Honey Hill so close to the centre of Cambridge is very short sighted. b) I am very much against building the sewage works on top of a major chalk acquifer. I note that DEFRA believes that the works could contaminate ground water in the area, and I think the risk of contamination is unacceptable. c) I am also concerned about the impact that all the construction and operational traffic will have the local road network. The majority of these big vehicles will need to use the A14/A10 intersection near Milton [A14 Junction 33], which is a major commuter route into Cambridge. And the B1047 between Horningsea and Fen Ditton is unsuitable for heavy traffic, and has a primary school close to the proposed works.
