Every new estate along the A1307 adds to the queue at Linton.
Haverhill–Linton–Cambridge
What we can show
The Cambridge South East Transport study recorded peak congestion at the A11 junction and at Linton, and a poor accident record towards Horseheath.
How sprawl adds to this
Every estate along the corridor adds cars to a road that is already congested and already dangerous. A mini-roundabout is not a new corridor. The queue at Linton is the cumulative map nobody draws.
What a larger settlement can do
Rail on this corridor gives commuters an alternative to the A1307. Construction traffic and any homes occupied before the railway opens add load first. The lasting fix is not another estate at Linton.
The pattern is fewer, larger places with infrastructure first, not another estate on the edge of every village.

We can stop this
We want building concentrated in fewer, larger places with schools, health, water and transport built in — not another estate on the edge of every village.
