EWR Petition

Cambridge Approaches have launched the following petition, on the Gov petitions website, which we would urge all residents to sign immediately. The petition calls for an independent enquiry into the East West Rail plan to run the railway line right next to the South and West boundaries of our village, which will cause substantial damage over many years to Harston. This petition will be suspended on Wednesday 29th because of the General Election, and probably reinstated when the next Government is sworn in. We are trying to get to 10,000 signatures before the suspension, with the help of all those living along the Cambourne to Cambridge South station track, and are progressing towards that target. So please sign and get your friends and relations to do likewise, send them the link. Thank you.

Harston Consultation of Harston Draft Neighbourhood Plan

Harston’s Draft Neighbourhood Plan is being finalised and we hope to have a 7 week consultation on it starting on Monday 22nd April and ending on Monday 11 June.

Before consultation starts all residents will receive a brief summary of the plan and a feedback form which you can drop into the box in the PO or … You can also feedback on-line, which we prefer, as this would help us save time logging all your written responses.

Thursday 25th April at the Annual Parish Meeting which starts at 7pm (see PC website for agenda);
Sat 4 May 10.30-12.30 at Better Brew Café and in afternoon 2-5pm;
