The #FensReservoir will only provide capacity for the already ambitious housing numbers in the emerging local plan - NOT for the 150,000 additional homes proposed by government. I've asked ministers for water, transport, housing and health to attend an inter-ministerial roundtable.

Nature is not a 'blocker' to house building but instead adds value to house prices and to peoples' lives.
We must make sure that essential infrastructure is in place before house building. In South Cambs we urgently need new water supplies.
