But the Tempsford scheme is an unmitigated disaster - a mix of Grade 1 and 2 farmland, much of it in a flood risk zone and all in a water stressed area, on a railway already running above capacity, beside a motorway. Typical #OxCamArc sustainability disaster. 4/ ⬇️

If it puts your area at the heart of the disastrously unsustainable #OxCamArc then it's very clearly the wrong move.

Tax Payers are helping fund thier own Corporate Capture; works similarly in UK; too. That 'state Capture' used intermediaries such as Locus Economica , McKinsey, & LEP Network to 'deliver' Freeports using Local Authorities , Govt Departments & 'hubs' eg; #OxCamArc, Corporates & Legislation.

Re #OxCamArc and housing, same applies. cambridgetownowl.com/2025/01/30/o... Can't risk building settlements merely to function as dormitory towns for big edge-of-Cambridge science parks.

...and if the promoters of #OxCamArc try to ignore local residents, more of them will simply join the pre-existing groups that saw off Michael Gove last time around. Only they've got a cool new logo this time because someone inadvisedly politicised newts and bats. 👀
