Improving the green area on Cambridge Road/ Roman Hill

As those of you who follow the parish council’s minutes will remember, a speculative application was made in August for a grant from the Shared Prosperity Fund for monies to improve the green area at the Roman Hill end of Cambridge Road, with a view to improving the sound and pollution barrier whilst creating an attractive area for residents (and wildlife) to enjoy. We make many such applications a year and are sadly rarely successful but this time, our application worked.

A representative from South Cambridgeshire District Council visited the site last week with two landscape professionals to review the existing plants and trees and to see what improvements could be made. It is their intention to preserve and tidy all healthy trees and to add to the existing planting to enhance its screening properties, with the hope of a creating a community area benefitting the houses nearby and indeed the wider village.

The team are busily drawing up proposals as we speak and will kindly present these plans to the residents at 6.30pm on 7 January 2025 at the village hall (prior to the parish council public meeting at 7.30pm) – you are all most welcome to attend and to share your thoughts.
