Campaigners: Expressway needs cancelling, not reviewing
Mix 96 reports on the No Expressway Group campaign for the Oxford to Cambridge Expressway to be cancelled. “A review into the Oxford to Cambridge Expressway is being promised by the Conservatives, if they get back into power.
“The road could cut through Aylesbury Vale, but is proving controversial so far, with the Tories saying they would look at alternatives should they get back into power.
“Campaigners say the scheme doesn't need a review, it needs cancelling.
“A spokesperson for the No Expressway group said:
"This is an encouraging first step and sounds as though they’re listening. But a review if they get a majority? How much faith should we have in such a review given what’s happened with HS2? They don’t need to review it, they need to cancel it.””

No Expressway Group believes there is no need for an Oxford-Cambridge Expressway, nor the over-inflated housing targets associated with it, and we will actively campaign against it and support other organisations with the same objectives.
Our environment is a national asset which is critical for everyone’s health and well-being. We must not let it be destroyed.

Please note:
The No Expressway Group has a group bank account to which the Chair, Secretary and Treasurer are signatories. The group will publish accounts on noexpressway.org each year which will be audited by an accountant from outside the NEG group.
If any funds are left at the end of the campaign, these will be donated equally between RSPB and BBOWT.
