Context
MP questioned the infrastructure needs for a potential new town in Tempsford, highlighting the importance of health and education services. The area is near St Neots and would be connected by the East West Rail interchange station.
What are the infrastructure requirements for supporting the proposed new town at Tempsford? Many recognise the opportunities of our area but my constituents need clarity on health and education infrastructure, especially with multiple local authorities potentially being involved. Can we meet to discuss how St Neots will support a new town?
No decisions have been made until the strategic environmental assessment concludes. The next generation of new towns must be well connected, designed, sustainable, healthy, attractive places with necessary infrastructure from the outset. I am happy to discuss further after the SEA process.
