If you live in Great or Little Wilbraham or Six Mile Bottom and you love to cycle either as a commuter or for pleasure, there is currently no safe way to connect with the Cambridge Cycle Network.
​
Central Cambridge is only 6 miles as the crow flies from the Wilbrahams but the three ways a cyclist can get there or any other location involve 60mph roads that carry significant, fast traffic
​
We will be working with the two local Parish Councils and their respective residents to seek feedback on a proposal to join the Cambridge Cycle Network. To start the conversation here are a few ideas.
​
Idea One
​
Adapt the Wilbraham Road out of Little Wilbraham to Bottisham which would join the A1303 - Newmarket Road and then on to join the Cambridge Cycle Network at Bottisham.
​
Idea Two
​
Construct a dedicated cycle path from Great Wilbraham to Fulbourne along the Station / Wilbraham Road.
​
Idea Three
​
Look at establishing a cycle path from Little Wilbraham to the Quy roundabout via the Short Drove.
​
A complete description of the three ideas can be found under the Options link.
​
The Proposal
​
This website has been established to work towards providing safer cycling options for the Wilbrahams.
We have:
-
an ongoing survey of village residents (use the link to the left to take the survey)
-
a team has been established to progress the proposals
-
the development of a plan in collaboration with the appropriate authorities, to achieve these goals.
