Bad weather has delayed progress on the car park entrance, so it will remain closed for the next week. Please park on the road (not on verges or pavements) and avoid parking opposite Mailes Close.

Dear Residents,

I hope this find you well. If you have not already seen yesterday evening or this morning, please see our press release regarding the suspension of green bin from Monday 13 December:

https://www.scambs.gov.uk/green-bin-collections-suspended-from-monday-13-december/, https://www.cambridge.gov.uk/news/2021/12/08/green-bin-collections-suspended-from-monday-13-december

At present, the collections will resume on Wednesday 12 January 2022 in line with the Christmas collection date changes. As the green bin collections would have turned turn to their usual 4-weekly cycle from w/b 27 December/3 January, the suspension is adding an extra two weeks to this, so residents will only be missing one green bin collection throughout the planned suspension. Residents are advised to check the websites for updates and for their collection days via the online calendar which have been updated to reflect this. If you have any other queries, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

For additional information, below is a copy of the bin collection dates changes over the festive period. (Note Barton days are normally Wednesday.)

Best,

Jack

C&PCA Budget Have your say

Have your say on how we’re spending our money, and the new way we’re working to bring compassion, co-operation and community to our work.

We’re delighted to be consulting on both our draft budget and medium-term financial plan, and our draft sustainable growth ambition statement until 31 December 2021.

We’re asking for everyone’s views on the way we’re spending our money, and the new way we’re working to ensure that we’re bringing the Mayor’s values of compassion, co-operation and community to how we work.

This means that we’re planning for our decisions going forward to measure up against six keys to unlock our prosperity and ensure our policies are always focused on the sustainable growth for the people of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.

This consultation is a huge opportunity for people to find out more about how we’re spending money, and how we make decisions.

We want to hear from as many of you as possible as part of this consultation: your expertise as our locally elected members will really help us to shape the way we make policies in the future.

Find out more and tell us what you think

We would also really appreciate you sharing the message with your contacts- by forwarding this email, or by letting people know on social media.

If you’re posting about the consultation on Facebook or Twitter, you can tag us @CambsPboroCA on all channels. The shortlink to the consultation is  

If you have any questions then please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Best wishes,

Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Combined Authority

Barton School Christmas Fayre

Saturday 2pm-4pm

The Local Authority have issued some new guidance in light of the emergence of the new Omicron variant of COVID-19, and there are several measures which we need to ask people to take in order to protect our community as much as possible:

• All adults and secondary school students are requested to undertake an LFD test prior to attending the event. (This requirement includes stallholders, FOBS members, volunteers and staff).
• All attendees over the age of 11 will be asked to wear face coverings.

Hand sanitisers will be placed around the stalls, and visitors will be encouraged to sanitise their hands regularly. We will also have an enhanced cleaning regime in place for locations which are regularly touched.

There will be no stalls where close contact or sharing of resources is required, and to avoid clusters of large groups, we would ask that only one family member queues at the cafe to purchase food/drinks.

We hope to see you on Saturday!
