    Grantchester Parish Council has lost its High Court battle with the Greater Cambridge Partnership (GCP) over plans for a greenway route through the village. The council challenged the GCP’s decision from January 2024 to construct the Haslingfield greenway through the centre of the village. The greenway is one of a network of 12 planned by the GCP between Cambridge and surrounding villages to encourage cycling and walking.
