NEWS: Expressway in Parliament Again February 6, 2020
Can we have an Ox-Cam Expressway debate?
The issue of the Oxford to Cambridge Expressway was raised again in the House of Commons on 6th February.
Greg Smith MP for Buckingham asked for a debate on the Ox-Cam Expressway to be tabled. Thank you Greg!
The more the Ox-Cam Expressway is mentioned and challenged in Westminster the better. It all supports our campaign getting our voice heard and raising the priority and profile of this appalling scheme.
On 30th January there were questions from Anneliese Dodds, Greg Smith and Daniel Zeichner, about the pledged review. And NEG were mentioned!
Interestingly George Freeman’s responded as follows “I am delighted to say that we are listening to all the representations that we have received. There will be an announcement coming very shortly. Let me reiterate that this is about our commitment to sustainable and integrated public transport with housing. That corridor is a vital housing and growth corridor and we want to make sure that it is sustainable transport that works for the benefit of the people who live there.”
So… When will there be an announcement? Will that be an announcement about a review or the future of the project?

We urgently need your help.
Your donations are needed now, to help us run the campaign and pay for political consultants and other professional experts to bring this campaign to the attention of Westminster as well as local politicians.
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.
Your donations help us to spread information about the Expressway, run and build support for the campaign:
£10 could pay for one roadside Correx poster
£15 could pay for one roadside poster on a wooden stake
£20 could pay for one A1 printed colour poster for our pagoda display
£35 could pay for 250 A5 printed leaflets for the campaign
£70 could pay for one pole and two panels for our travelling pagoda display
£150 could pay for one feather flag for our travelling pagoda
£180 could pay to run this website for one year
£300 could pay for a 3 minutes of an Expressway Story
£500 could pay for a 5 minutes of an Expressway Story
A greater or other amount could contribute to the cost of professional support for our campaign in general and in preparation for Planning Inspectorate hearings
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.
