Episode 119: How the Brecks can Support the Housing Needs of Cambridge (Part 1)

This Week: We return to our series on 'How the Brecks can Support the Growth of Cambridge'.  

The Brecks area of Norfolk straddles the A11 and Cambridge railway line, and sits roughly equidistant between Cambridge and Norwich.  

How the area might relieve the housing pressure on Cambridge for he benefit of all, and do so in a carefully created community is discussed by an all-star panel.
