September Full Council

Full Council was held on Monday 19th September, with no members of the public attending.  For draft minutes look here.   Items of note:

City Deal Consultation

We are working on a response to the consultation, which has a deadline date of 10th October.  Through the consultation, people’s views are being sought on a planned package of measures to tackle peak-time congestion in Cambridge which, it is claimed, will significantly improve public transport, cycling and walking journeys.
Feedback will be used by the Greater Cambridge City Deal to help shape and improve the approach.

Residents can complete the consultation themselves, or alternatively may prefer to provide early input to the Parish Council for use in compiling their own response.  Go on-line:   http://www.gccitydeal.co.uk/congestion

Neighbourhood Plan

Council heard that an encouraging start has been made on numbers of returned surveys, both postal and on-line.   300 responses had been received within the first week.  A survey form has been delivered to every household and further copies are available from the Parish Office or some of the shops.  It is also available on-line at www.enventure.co.uk/ourhi

Please encourage other members of your family and your friends and other contacts in the community to participate –  Tell us what you think about how our community should develop in the future!  A good survey needs a good response and we want to aim for numbers well into 4 figures

Section 106 Monies for public open space and community facility space

The Council is to sign an indemnity for a total of £24,335.14 following development in Impington.  Section 106 payments are not now payable for this sort of development in South Cambs pending the introduction of CIL (Community Infrastructure Levy) but this payment will be added to existing funds held and must be used for this purpose alone within 10 years of receipt, or returned to the developer.  Funding of this type is important if the community is to find ways to increase its open space provision

The next meeting is Monday 17th October.   All will be welcome.
