District Councillor News Please note that I provide a full report to the Parish Council at its monthly meeting, so please check out the meeting minutes or my blog at www.tumihawkins.org.uk for more details on the items discussed below. Zero Carbon Communities Grant This new grant that South Cambridgeshire District Council is making available to community groups, charities and parish councils is to deliver great projects that engage communities and support the aim of zero carbon emissions by 2050. The grant is open to applications from Monday 05 August 2019 and close at 5pm on Thursday 31 October 2019, and is for sums of £1000 to £15,000. The projects could be anything that helps reduce carbon emissions, reduce energy use, generate renewable energy or heat, promote sustainable travel, increase recycling or reduce waste. It could also just help to increase awareness that helps people achieve this in their own We wish to encourage South Cambridgeshire communities of all sizes and levels of experience to apply for these grants and bid for a share of just over £91,000. Those interested in applying can book to attend a networking and information event on Wednesday 4th September from 6pm to 8pm in the Council Chamber at South Cambs Hall. For more information you can call 01954 713070 or email Duty.Communities@scambs.gov.uk or go to https://www.scambs.gov.uk/community-development/grants/zero-carbon-communities-grant/ S.C.R.A.P Fly tipping The Council is encouraging householders and businesses to be sure that their waste is disposed of legally. This means making sure that you use legal waste carriers as fly tipping is illegal. So follow the SCRAP code. Suspect all waste carriers, so Check their registration details. Refuse unexpected or cold call offer to take your rubbish. Ask what will happen to your rubbish and get the Paperwork like invoice or waste transfer notice. If you witness fly tipping going on, call the Police on 999 and report as crime in progress. If you discover a fly tip, report to the Council online or www.recap.co.uk/fly-tipping. If you cannot get your bulky waste to the recycling centre, use the Council’s bulky waste service costing £30 for three big items. For more information or to report a fly tip to the Council, visit www.scambs.gov.uk/fly-tipping Greater Cambridge Local Plan Over the next two years, South Cambridgeshire District Council and Cambridge City Council will be creating a joint Local Plan for our combined area – called Greater Cambridge. We have started with call for sites and with initial engagement with parishes, residents associations, councillors, agents/developers/landowners.
The local plan is a document that sets out local planning policies and identifies how land is to be used, determining what will be built where. It is important that local residents are aware and take part at the appropriate stages to help shape the content of the local plan. We have created a short explanatory video which you will find at http://bit.ly/GCLPVideo and hear me and others talk about the plan and why its important to get involved. You can also check out my blog for some more info at http://tumihawkins.org.uk/GreaterCambridge-Local-Plan Consultations A number of Public Consultations are taking place over the summer holidays into September.

There were lots of fun stalls, BBQ, Pimms and we had great support from the community, especially Vicki Arkesden who organised the Dog Show. Thanks to everyone who supported us – children had great fun exploring the Purser family tractor and the PCSO’s car and the performance from the choir was wonderful. The raffle was another great success thanks to the super work by Vicky Miles who got some fabulous prizes. Overall we raised approx. £1800 so thanks for your generosity. Look out for the date next year. We all hope you have a relaxing fun summer and recharge batteries ready for the autumn. __________________________________________________________________________

Heidi Allen Member of Parliament for South Cambridgeshire In my last newsletter, I discussed the Parliamentary debate that I secured to highlight the funding issue facing Cambridgeshire’s NHS services. We continue to be the third lowest funded county per head in England and I have been working closely with our CCG to evidence this. As a result, and on the back of assurances made during the Parliamentary debate, I secured a meeting with the Minister, Stephen Hammond at which the Accountable Officer of our CCG, Jan Thomas presented our findings. The Minister was receptive to our points and explained that the funding formula which determines allocations could not respond quickly enough to our rapidly growing population. Mr Hammond committed to work with the CCG and NHS England to look again at ways to correct the historical underfunding and ensure future growth projections better reflect actual growth, thus reducing the mismatch with per patient funding allocations. I will continue to follow up with the Department of Health and the CCG to ensure that the new administration honour this commitment. In spite of the funding shortfall, our local NHS services continue to provide outstanding care and clinical expertise to those in need. I was delighted to nominate the Arthur Rank Hospice for the NHS Parliamentary Care and Compassion Award and they proved to be worthy winners for the East of England category. The team at the Hospice go above and beyond to deliver high quality care with compassion and expertise. Just before the schools broke up for the summer holidays I made several visits to local Primary and Pre-Schools and saw the excellent work that they are all doing in spite of educational cost pressures. I wrote to the Prime Minister in early July, arguing that a cash injection for schools was needed now. 40 other MPs supported my letter. The Secretary of State responded, highlighting that he had set out a very strong case for Education as we approach the Treasury Spending Review at the end of the year. I will be making contact with the new Secretary of State when Parliament returns to hold him to this commitment. In the meantime, I would like to thank Homerton Nursery, Great Abington Pre-School and Elsworth Pre-School for demonstrating how valuable quality early years care can be for every child. These schools place care and learning at the heart of their provision giving children happy, exciting and playful days full of discovery. The learning journey continues at primary school and the same themes of learning, discovery and happiness were very much in evidence at Meldreth Primary and Girton Glebe Primary School when I visited. These thriving village schools want the very best for their pupils and are an extremely valuable part of our local communities. I wish the very best of luck to the Year 6 pupils who I met on my visits as they prepare to move up to secondary school. I will continue to fight for education funding that recognises that excellence in education needs resourcing and I am determined to deliver this message to the new Prime Minister and Secretary of State in the new school year.
