Oxford-Cambridge Expressway

I’d never heard of the Oxford-Cambridge Expressway, which seems to be a new mega-road linking the two university cities. And no wonder, because it seems to be being cookd up behind closed doors.

Yesterday’s Guardian ran a typically robust piece from George Monbiot attacking both the scheme and the governments approach:

This disastrous new project will change the face of Britain
yet no debate is allowed

Monbiot’s article links to a number of the government documents, which do seem to substantiate many of his assertions. Beyond that I leave readers to make up their own minds.
