Sporting inspiration
Despite the rain, around 80,000 people lined the streets as the Olympic torch made its way into Cambridge in July. 40,000 people also gathered on Parker’s Piece, making Cambridge’s event one of the biggest evening torch celebrations in the country. Olympic medalist and former Commonwealth and European Games champion Iwan Thomas carried the torch onto Parker’s Piece, lighting the cauldron on the main stage to a great cheer. The Olympic celebrations formed the
centrepiece of the city council’s Big Weekend. The Paralympic flame’s visit to the city was also well supported at a large community sports event hosted by the city council at Netherhall Sports Centre. As part of the legacy of the Olympics and Paralympics, many new sporting and community opportunities have been set up in the city alongside our existing programmes. These pages have a selection of some of our newest sport activities. Be inspired – get out, be active and try something new…

New scheme to replace
Council Tax Benefit
A new scheme is set to replace Council Tax Benefit next year. At the moment, people on low incomes can get help with paying their Council Tax in the form of Council Tax Benefit. This is a national, means-tested social security benefit that is administered by local councils. The government is abolishing Council Tax Benefit from 1 April 2013 as part of its welfare reforms. It is requiring district councils to produce new schemes of their own to replace Council Tax Benefit. These will be known as Council Tax Support Schemes. Since the government announced its intentions, Cambridge City Council has been working to develop a new scheme for Cambridge. The priorities have been to distribute the available funds as widely as possible and to ensure those people who are less well off continue to pay the least. It also aims keep the switch as simple as possible. Who will be affected by the changes? The scheme only applies to working age households, as pensioners are protected and will not see any changes in their assessments under the new scheme. This means that the government will still set entitlements for pensioners in England and these will be maintained under the current Council Tax Benefit Scheme. We will provide clear and accessible information for all residents affected by the ending of Council Tax Benefit, ensuring that you can access additional advice and support. We will also allow people currently receiving Council Tax Benefit to transfer to the new scheme without having to reapply to us, unless their circumstances have changed.
Have your say on the proposed scheme The proposed changes will affect many residents in the city so we welcome your views. The priority is to meet the needs of those people who are on low incomes and need the most help. Your input is important in shaping a fair and viable local Council Tax Support Scheme. Go to our website cambridge.gov.uk/ counciltax to read the proposed new Council Tax Support Scheme and complete a survey. If you don’t have access to the internet, you can get a copy of the scheme and the survey from the Customer Service Centre on Regent Street or by phoning 01223 457762. The consultation is open until 31 October 2012. ■
Take the hassle out of paying council tax Signing up for direct debit is a simple and safe way of paying your Council Tax. You can choose whether to have your payments taken from your account on the 5th or 15th of the month and you are competely protected by the direct debit guarantee. You can sign-up to pay your council tax by direct debit by printing, completing and returning a form on our website: cambridge.gov.uk. You can also phone the customer services team on 01223 457000 for further advice on paying by direct debit. ■
Government grant set to reduce ● The government has said it will reduce the grant it pays to councils for Council Tax Support by at least 10% of the current levels paid for Council Tax Benefit. ● This means the city council will have approximately £0.75 million less available for the new Council Tax Support Scheme than it had before. The government says it will not release the final figures to councils until November 2012. ● The grant will be fixed and will be paid at the beginning of each year. This means the grant will not take account of any increased demand for Council Tax Support throughout the year. ● A number of additional changes to Council Tax from 2013-2014 are being introduced that will help councils to make up for the reduced funding. These include allowing councils to charge up to 100% Council Tax on second homes that are currently charged at 90% and giving councils more say on charges for empty properties. It is anticipated that implementing these reforms will compensate for much of the loss of government grants for Council Tax Support.
Grants for community groups If you have any ideas about how your community could help reduce antisocial behaviour, crime, or the fear of crime, our Safer City Grant may be able to help. Funding of up to £5,000 is available to groups who can support their idea with evidence of the need for a project in their area.

Tackling climate change
Working to cut
carbon emissions
One of the city council’s aspirations is for Cambridge to be a city that is in the forefront of low carbon living and minimises its impact on the environment from waste and pollution.
Stop homes leaking heat
The extreme weather we’ve all experienced in recent years – wettest summers, flash floods, periods of drought, storms and snow – as well as the energy bills we all receive, remind us of the importance of tackling climate change and its effects as part of the way we deliver services to residents. Working to a Climate Change Strategy introduced in 2008, we have delivered a number of schemes in recent years including: ● Reducing fuel bills for tenants of councilowned homes by more than £1 million by investing in energy efficiency measures such as new boilers and loft insulation. ● Setting high standards of sustainability for new homes built in the city through our planning policies. ● Installing a range of energy efficiency techniques and technologies in our buildings such as voltage optimisation, variable speed drives and solar panels.
The new strategy will cover actions for the city council as well as measures we will introduce to support residents and businesses to cut their own carbon emissions. Examples of measures the new strategy includes are: ● Introducing more energy efficient lighting in city council-owned car parks. ● Exploring opportunities to increase the types of material that you can recycle. ● Providing advice to residents, businesses and other organisations on how tree planting can help the city adapt to a changing climate. ● Continuing to work with developers to secure renewable energy and more sustainable homes as part of planning agreements for major new developments. ● Supporting you to make your homes more energy efficient by providing information on grants and loans available for insulation and other energy efficiency measures.
Last winter we started running a programme called HeatSeekers with an insulation company called Mark Group. Vehicles equipped with thermal imaging cameras passed through the city to identify homes that may benefit from improved insulation. Residents were then offered the opportunity to see the images of their property and receive a quotation for loft and cavity wall insulation that made use of any government grant assistance available. Nearly 500 properties have taken advantage of the scheme which will reduce households carbon emission and should help save money on energy bills. It’s not too late to get involved. Contact the HeatSeekers team to find out how they can help:
The 2012-16 strategy is due to be discussed at the Environment Scrutiny Committee meeting on 9 October 2012. The draft strategy and more information about our commitment to tackling climate change in Cambridge can be found on our website:
• Website: cambridge.gov.uk/heatseekers
Unfortunately, in recording the changes to energy use in our own buildings since 2005, we made some errors that led us to believe and report that we had reduced our carbon emissions by much more than we had. Although we had reduced energy consumption in some of our buildings, it had increased in others where, for instance, we had extended the opening hours. We apologise for these errors and assure you that we are putting in place measures to make sure we will be able to measure and report our energy usage and carbon emissions more accurately in future. We are now developing a new strategy to guide us through the next four years to 2016. We are using lessons from the previous strategy to target our efforts where they will make a bigger impact on our own emissions in the years ahead. We consulted publicly in July and August on what should be included in this strategy and you’ve provided us with some helpful feedback and ideas.

Moving into a new home can be daunting so it’s always helpful to meet the neighbours who can give you valuable information such as your bin day and help you settle into the community. Things can be that bit harder for residents moving into newly built communities which is why Cambridge City Council is supporting the development of community forums. The Southern Fringe Community Forum is the first in Cambridge and it brings together existing and soon-to-be residents, council representatives and the developers associated with the new housing neighbourhoods on the southern fringe of Cambridge. The meetings take place every few months and always start with an informal drop-in where residents can view plans and talk to developers and council officers. The drop-ins are followed by formal meetings on key local issues such as the design of the new schools and transport links. Further details of the forum including meeting notes and future meeting dates can be found on our website. The next meeting is Thursday 6 December at Trumpington Village Hall on the High Street. The drop-in session is between 3.30pm and 6.30pm with the formal meeting starting at 7pm. A similar community forum will be established for the north-west soon. In addition to the forum, a website has been set up for the existing and incoming Trumpington community called Trumpington Online. The website acts as a ‘one stop shop’ for community news, information and details of the new developments. If you live in the Trumpington area, have a look at the website: trumpingtonlonline.org.uk ■

Managing the growth of Cambridge
Planning for 2031 As well as developing new neighbourhoods today, we are planning for the future development of Cambridge. Over 11,000 comments were received in response to the local plan issues and options consultation that we ran during June and July. The local plan is used to guide local planning policy and decisions on matters ranging from the location of new housing to how the city can reduce its carbon footprint. In the issues and options report, we asked you to comment on all of the possible options that could be included in a new plan. We consulted widely as the new plan will help shape Cambridge for the next 19 years in all aspects of city life including shopping facilities, employment opportunities, housing design and locations, tourism and flood planning. Comments will be used to help us write a new local plan. We will tell you more about the feedback you gave in the winter edition of Cambridge Matters.
What are the next steps? January 2013 We will be asking you to comment on sites we’ve identified for allocation for particular types of development such as employment, housing and open spaces. Spring 2013 We will use the feedback from both consultations to write the new, draft local plan.
We will continue to work closely with South Cambridgeshire District Council throughout the process. This is because many of the development sites that will be considered are on the borders between the two councils so we want to make sure that our policies work well together and reflect the needs of residents in both areas. We will also continue to work with Cambridgeshire County Council as the Transport Strategy for Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire is developed at the same time. ■
• Phone: 01223 457000 Website: cambridge.gov.uk/localplanreview
June 2013 We will publish our draft plan and consult widely. October 2013 Following this final round of public consultation, the draft plan will be submitted to the Secretary of State for examination. October 2013 to March 2014 The draft plan will be examined by an independent inspector. April 2014 We will adopt the new plan and use it to guide all future planning decisions. ■
New rights for your community Is there a local service you think could be run better? Or a local building your community could put to better use? Four national community rights have been introduced by the government which may be able to help you and your community achieve your goals. Neighbourhood planning The neighbourhood planning right gives communities more say about what can be built in their area. You can contact Brendan Troy in our planning team to discuss any proposals for neighbourhood plans. Email: brendan.troy@cambridge.gov.uk Phone: 01223 457442 Community right to build Community right to build gives communities the right to build smallscale, site-specific projects without going

through the normal planning application process. If your local community has a project that you wish to explore further, please contact us: Email: planning.helpdesk@cambridge.gov.uk Phone: 01223 457000 Community right to challenge This gives communities the right to bid to run local authority services where they think they can do it better. Groups in Cambridge who would like to submit a formal expression of interest in running a service will have an opportunity to do this between 1 June 2013 and 31 July 2013. The group may then be given the opportunity to bid, alongside others, to provide the service. Please contact us for more information: Website: cambridge.gov.uk/right-to-challenge Email: david.kidston@cambridge.gov.uk Phone: 01223 457043.
Community right to bid Community right to bid is expected to come into effect in the autumn. This right gives communities the right to bid to buy and take over the running of local assets that are important to them, such as community centres, pubs and playgrounds. You can nominate these assets for inclusion on a list of assets of community value maintained by the city council. If an asset on the list is put up for sale, you’ll then have up to six months to bid for the asset, before it goes on the open market. We can tell you more about how this will work in Cambridge once the details have been agreed by the government. You can also find out more information about all these rights on the government’s community rights website: communityrights.communities.gov.uk

Tackling climate change
Start recycling If you have just moved to the city or you’re a student embarking on your first year living outside of a college you’ll soon see that recycling in Cambridge is easy. To get you started, here’s a checklist for recycling success:
1 2 3
Find out what day your bins are collected. You can find this out on our website bins.cambridge.gov.uk. Write your bin day on the calendar delivered with this edition of Cambridge Matters and stick it up on your wall. Make sure everyone in the house knows what can be recycled. The enclosed calendar covers this, but you can also download a poster at cambridge.gov.uk/ student-recycling and stick it up above your kitchen bin.
separate. Then you can just tip it into your blue wheelie bin when it gets full.
4 ● ● ●
If you have a green wheelie bin, you can recycle food waste too. You can get a free kitchen caddy from the city council to collect your food scraps in the kitchen before transferring them to the bin. Just pop into one of our offices: the Customer Service Centre on Regent Street (opposite University Arms hotel), the Guildhall on Market Square or the council depot on Mill Road, by the bridge.
Recycle more! You can now recycle all your plastic pots, tubs and trays with your plastic bottles. This means they can go in your blue bin, or in plastic banks at blocks of flats and recycling points. Here are some of the things you can now recycle:
5
Set up a recycling bin in your kitchen next to your general rubbish bin so it’s easy for everyone to keep the recycling
Join us on Facebook at facebook.com/ recycleforcambridge and we’ll keep you updated with new recycling schemes and tips, and you can ask us questions.
Follow these tips and you’ll soon find that recycling in Cambridge is easy. ■
Changes to bin days complete At the beginning of August more than 6,000 households had a change to their bin collection day. This means that bin collections are now carried out more efficiently and with fewer lorries, saving around £250,000 per year. There have been teething problems in the first few weeks of the new routes and we are sorry for any inconvenience this has caused. If you are unsure of your collection arrangements or would like to report any issues, please contact us. ■
Bin collection calendar You should have received a recycling and waste services leaflet with this issue of Cambridge Matters, which includes a copy of your new bin collection calendar. If you didn’t receive a calendar, please contact us. ■

Connecting with residents
Tourist Information Centre – not just for tourists As well as the advice you might expect about accommodation, sights and shopping within the city, staff at the Tourist Information Centre can help you with much more. They can book your train and coach tickets, provide you with details of well known events, local activities, walks and current exhibitions, markets and talks. You can also purchase some interesting
gifts for family and friends from their gift shop. Next time you have visitors looking for a homely bed and breakfast, you want something different to do in an evening or need a little inspiration for what to do with the children on a rainy afternoon, pop in and put them to the test! The tourist information website was also relaunched in August with a bright
new look and additional functionality. The website now offers people the ability to plan and create an itinerary for their visit to the city and surrounding areas. See how it can help you plan your days out: www.visitcambridge.org n

Thank you to everyone who replied to our website survey and well done to Rona McPherson from Romsey Ward who is the winner of the afternoon tea kindly donated by Hotel du Vin on Trumpington Street. The feedback you’ve provided is being used to improve the design, content and features of the website, which we are planning to relaunch in December. The result will be a new-look website that is easier for you to find the information that you need. Key tasks that you’ve told us about such as car park information, bin days and paying your council tax online will feature prominently so you can quickly find the information you use most. We will tell you more about the new website in the winter edition of Cambridge Matters. n

Working for a healthy, safe and enjoyable city
Paying the price of litter Many residents and tourists take advantage of the variety of open spaces and parks that we are lucky enough to have in the city. On most occasions, people will find them well kept and litter free but by the end of a sunny day, they can be covered in litter. We take a number of remedial and preventative measures to tackle litter and problems such as flytipping . This includes providing a 100-strong work force who are out from 6am every day. In the summer they can spend up to two hours collecting around 30 bags of rubbish from Parker’s Piece alone. Clearing litter costs around £1.6 million every year which is money that could be spent on providing other services for local people.
responsible is not easy. We do investigate offences and take action wherever possible. We encourage you to help us by remembering to always take your litter home and by reporting any problems to us. ■

Other ways we help to prevent and clear litter include: ● Sweeping the streets, and shop fronts. ● Removing flytipping. ● Providing online reporting forms for litter and flytipping incidents. ● Serving street litter control notices on business premises requiring them to clear litter from the footway and adjacent land within 100 metres of their premises. ● Working with Cleaner Cambridge Campaign and Neighbourhood Links groups who also have an interest in keeping the city clean. ● Encouraging take-up of a voluntary litter code to help reduce litter from businesses and their customers. We also have powers to issue fixed penalty notices to anyone who drops litter, generates litter or flytips – however, catching those
