Welcome to the Cambridge City & Surrounding Areas Local Representatives Groups page

At East West Railway Company (EWR Co), we’re passionate about hearing what local representatives, and their communities, think about East West Rail (EWR) so we can, together, successfully build a project that will bring faster journey times, lower transport costs and ease pressure on local roads. This will bring people closer to the things that matter most – jobs, friends, and family.

We’ve set up 15 Local Representatives Groups along the route where we will deliver the East West Rail project to help local communities connect with us through their representatives. The Groups include Councillors, Parish and Town Councils and representatives from EWR Co.

Following feedback from Group members, the Cambridge City and Cambridge & Surrounding Areas Groups have now merged to form the Cambridge City & Surrounding Areas Local Representatives Group.

Meeting #1 – Tuesday 11 October 2022 – The Business Case Process
