Some policy wonks have proposed building a new city of one million people in the middle of West Suffolk, between Newmarket and Haverhill. The proposal would erase ancient villages like Cowlinge, Great Thurlow, and Withersfield, destroying vast tracts of irreplaceable countryside to serve Cambridge – a city with a population of just 150,000. It's mad. We do need new homes, and I'm not a NIMBY. But the answer to Cambridge's growth isn't building a commuting conurbation far bigger than Cambridge itself. Development must be sensible, in the right places, delivering good family homes – not schemes like this. That's why I've started this petition. Please sign and help me oppose this ridiculous proposal.
