And here we have it - clear evidence Cambridge has been captured as a vehicle for investors. And those investors don't give diddly-squat about anything except their dividend.

Developers on Newmarket Road setting up 21st century building while ruts in the road looks like something from 19th century. Future residents are prioritised, current residents neglected.
