Greater Cambridge Local Plan: The First Conversation

Ever walked past a building and wondered how it got planning permission? Worried about climate change and how we are going to adapt? Trying to buy a house and finding it really difficult?

The Council’s Local Plan is the document that shapes our area’s future and answers these big questions. It covers the key themes of climate change, biodiversity and green spaces, wellbeing and social inclusion, and great places. It will affect what kind of new homes get built and where, businesses can grow and how buildings, streets and spaces should be designed. As a result, the Local Plan affects all of us – yet most people have never even heard of it.
But things are changing and we want you to be a part of it.

For the first time ever, Cambridge City Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council are preparing a joint Local Plan for the Greater Cambridge area: and this time we want to do better than ever before at working with you all to make it happen.

We will be starting a big conversation with the community, with many different ways to get involved, online and offline, on Monday 13 January. Please look out for more information nearer the time, and get in touch at www.greatercambridgeplanning.org

Help shape our future together!

Govia Thameslink Railway Passenger Benefit Fund

We are delighted to announce the launch the engagement process of Govia Thameslink Railway’s (GTR’s) £15 million Passenger Benefit Fund which aims to provide tangible improvements for passengers on the GTR network. The fund was established following the disruption experienced by passengers during the implementation of the May 2018 timetable.

The Secretary of State nominated Bim Afolami, Henry Smith and Heidi Allen, as MPs representing different parts of the GTR network, to work with GTR and develop a plan for how the fund is allocated and consulted on. The MPs asked for decisions on how the Fund was spent to be made at as local level as possible. The fund, therefore has been allocated to passengers based on the tiers of the additional industry compensation scheme which were agreed following the disruption caused by the May 2018 timetable issues.  Passengers at stations  across the network have been allocated either  £30, 000, £50,000 or £80,000 to spend on station improvements or on a wider benefit scheme.

We are engaging with passengers, MPs, passenger groups and councils to understand how they would like the money to be spent.  Stakeholders will be asked to prioritise ideas ready for a selection and approval process starting in August.  Further details about the fund and how groups can select their preferred schemes can be found at the fund website  https://www.passengerbenefitfund.co.uk/

To submit your ideas you will need to complete the survey, which you can access once you register on the passenger benefit fund website.

Please find attached the network map .  We want to ensure that you are aware that the consultation is open and will close on 31 July 2019.

If you would like more information or to arrange a meeting, please don’t hesitate to contact the team atpassengerbenefit@gtrailway.com
