Our local County and District Councillor reports are available on our website.
This month’s report covers a wide range of topics including C2C, household support grants, boiler up grade grants, EWR and many more topics.
We want everyone to have their say on the region’s transport future.
Hello,
You still have time to take part in the public consultation for the developing Local Transport and Connectivity Plan (LTCP) for Cambridgeshire & Peterborough.
The LTCP will set the strategy for making transport better in the region and we want as many people as possible to have a say.
If you have already taken part, thank you and if not, we would be delighted if you could share your views via Your LTCP by August 4.
It will update the current Local Transport Plan for Cambridgeshire & Peterborough adopted by the Combined Authority in January 2020.
The LTCP is guided by a draft vision and key goals and objectives, helping to make our transport better, faster, safer and more reliable. It will address the big issues like climate change, pollution, inequality, and public health. It sets out a series of draft strategies for the region and individual districts and cities to make the vision a reality.
With transport affecting everyone and every organisation in the region, we want to reach as many people and communities as possible and invite them to have their say.
The consultation feedback will be analysed and will help shape the final version of the LTCP, which is planned to complete later in 2022.
As well as having your say, you are very welcome to help spread the word of the consultation among your community to encourage greater participation.
An downloadable information poster can be shared electronically or, if you are able, printed out and put up at established information points in your community. You may have other channels and networks to help share the LTCP consultation information.

Dear subscriber,
You might remember that last year the Greater Cambridge Partnership (GCP) held a public consultation on our Making Connections proposals. It outlined proposals to transform the bus network – with cheaper, more frequent buses serving more communities – and asked people to consider how we could potentially fund and make space for better buses and active travel.
Today, Clean Air Day, we have published the findings of the consultation and wanted to update you about the key headlines.
The headlines are:
The consultation also gathered feedback from a number of workshops with specific groups, including disabled people, people on low incomes and young people. The focus groups were largely in support of the proposals to improve the bus network, with participants highlighting the need for ensuring fairness in any plans for a road-based charge.
Alongside the consultation, a follow up workshop was held with members of the Greater Cambridge Citizens’ Assembly.
Members said frequency, consistency, and affordability were the key ingredients needed to shift people from their car to public transport. Assembly members believe the experience of using buses had to be great, even transformational in terms of comfort and service, to ensure people use them.
They also emphasised the importance of fairness as the key consideration in the design of any charge, which would need to be structured with public transport services and active travel infrastructure to encourage people to change their travel behaviours.
The findings of the Making Connections consultation will be presented to the Joint Assembly and the Executive Board later this year to inform the next steps of the project.

Barton Queen’s Jubilee celebrations took place last Saturday (4th June 2022) and began with the unveiling of the plaque at the “Jubilee Triangle”, opposite the pond, with speeches by Mervyn Martin and Meredith Belbin. Glorious sunshine broke out early afternoon in time for the family picnic and dedication of the “Queen’s Oak” by Ruth Bond on the recreation ground.
Fun and games were enjoyed by all with one of the new comers to the village “decapitated” by JezO much to the delight of his children. We all thank the bowls club for providing try out and games for all ages. The youngest newcomer was only two and half years old. The ladies of the WI were almost overwhelmed by cakes generously baked by villagers and their afternoon catering of tea and cake was a great success. The evening entertainment provided by Luna and the Wolves with support from JezO was excellent although it was starting to get cold later on! Perhaps we should have started sooner or provided thermals. Food vans had a roaring trade of fish and chips, and pizzas. Many thanks again to JezO for the grand finale ending with fireworks.
Finally we could not have had such a good day without the support of all the sponsors and raffle prize donations plus the hard work of the committee and volunteers who organized, set up and rigged down before and after the day. We should not forget the bunting organized by the Craft-force group and the flags, crowns and photo booth. Special thanks to the children at Barton school for decorating individual pieces for the Craft-force bunting and adults who also provided sections.
I think we all look forward to holding a village event again soon.
Thank you on behalf of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Committee.
Attached is the statutory notice for Barton Parish Council Annual Governance and Accountability Return (AGAR).

Following input from residents and our successful Local Highways Initiative bid, the work on buffer zones around the village and the new pavement at the corner of Haslingfield Road and Wimpole Road is complete. We will now monitor the impact of these measures on traffic speeds on A603, B1046 and Haslingfield Road. We welcome feedback from all residents. Our next focus will be on Barton Greenways, High Street and continued pressure on Highways to reduce accident risk on A603 from Haslingfield Road through to Lordsbridge.
