A petition has been launched to ask Cambridgeshire County Council to downgrade the A1123 and the A1421 to a B road.
The petition states:
The A1123 in Cambridgeshire runs from Soham to St Ives and onward to Huntingdon, seriously blighting village life for communities along its route with the sheer volume of traffic, the number of LCVs and HGVs and the consequent pollution. Soham, Wicken, Stretham, Wilburton, Haddenham, Earith and Bluntisham are all particularly badly affected on a daily basis.
Following the opening of the new A14, Cambridgeshire County Council passed a motion in December 2020 to pursue the declassification of the A1123 and the A1421 from an A road to a B road. The new administration at the County Council has reversed this decision and decided the road will not now be declassified.
This is not representative of the will of the people or Parish Councils along the route and we, the undersigned, demand that Cambridgeshire County Council implements the downgrading of the A1123 and the A1421 to a B road.

From Anna Bailey East Cambs District Councillor – Downham Villages, Leader of the Council
