Working for a healthy, safe and enjoyable city
City council elections,
third of May
Cambridge City Council elections are taking place on Thursday 3 May. It is city councillors who make many of the decisions about local services and where to spend your money so it’s important that you vote for the councillors you want to represent your interests. The services they influence include: • collecting rubbish and recycling • keeping streets and open spaces clean • working with the police to tackle crime and antisocial behaviour • inspecting food outlets to ensure hygiene standards are met • providing leisure facilities such as swimming pools and community centres • promoting and encouraging the provision of affordable housing. You may even want to represent your community and stand for election yourself. More information on how to do this is available at www.cambridge.gov. uk/councillors or by phoning 01223 457011.
Register to vote before 18 April
In order to vote you must be listed on the register of electors. You should have received a canvass form between August and November on which to update your details. If you have moved since then or know that you are not registered to vote, you can download a voter registration form on our website or we can post one to you. Students can register at their term-time address or their home address. If you live in college accommodation your college will normally register you although you should check this with your college. Even if you think you do not want to vote at the moment it is still worth registering – there may be a local issue that you feel strongly about nearer the time. The latest you can register to vote is Wednesday 18 April.
How to vote
Everybody who is eligible and registered to vote should receive a poll card two to three weeks before an
election. The card lists the date of the election, which polling station to use and what time the polling station is open. You do not need to take your poll card with you to vote, but it may save time at the polling station. If you know you will be unable to get to your polling station on election day, you can apply to vote by post or by proxy (where someone else votes on your behalf ). You can download a postal or proxy voting form on our website or request one by phone. ■

Accessible services Cambridge City Council produces a handy booklet called ‘A guide to services for older and disabled people’ that helps those who are less mobile find out about services available to them. This guide, which has been recently updated, includes information and contact details on things like getting adaptations made to homes, community alarm systems, accessible transport options and sporting activities on offer. It also provides information on how to get practical help with things like putting bins out for those unable to move their own bins.
The guide is available on the city council website and copies are also available from Disability Cambridgeshire, the city council’s Customer Service Centre on Regent Street, and all of the city council’s community centres (see page 15 for details). ■ Website: www.cambridge.gov. uk/accessibleservices Phone: 01223 457000

Working for a healthy, safe and enjoyable city
The council’s budget This year, Cambridge City Council will spend £101 million on providing local services, including: • emptying bins and improving recycling services • keeping streets and open spaces clean and tidy • providing events entertainment in parks and opens spaces and running the Corn Exchange • providing a range of leisure facilities including swimming pools and community centres
•
dealing with antisocial behaviour and calls about noise nuisance • providing housing advice and support • progressing planning applications and new neighbourhoods • managing car parks organising elections and managing the electoral register • collecting local taxes and administering housing and council tax benefits running Visit Cambridge, the tourist information service running the crematorium and looking after cemeteries. The money that pays for city council services
Do you pay in the simplest way?
Direct debit is where you tell your bank or building society that we can collect money from your account. Setting up a monthly direct debit is simple and free and you can choose whether you’d like your payment to leave your account on the 5th or 15th of each month. Once set up, you don’t have to do anything and your payments will be made to us regularly and on time.
If you’d like to pay your council tax by direct debit you can find more information and print the short application form from our website. You can also find information online about other ways to pay including in your bank, in person or by phone. ■

counciltax Phone: 01223 457790
comes from a mix of government grants, business rates and charges for services and income on our commercial property. The remaining £6.8 million comes from council tax. In addition the city council is landlord to over 7,300 council-owned properties, and rents from these properties are used to pay for services to tenants. The city council has frozen council tax for 2012-13 using a government grant which compensates the council for the loss of income. This means that residents will pay no more in council tax towards city council’s services than in 2010-11 – just £3.20 per week for a household paying band D council tax. Only 11.3% of the council tax you pay is kept by the city council which is also responsible for collecting council tax for the county council, police and fire authorities. Overall bills will be higher in 2012-13 because some of these other organisations have raised their proportion of the council tax. For more information, please see the council tax leaflet delivered with the March council tax bills. ■
Satisfaction survey results A total of 801 people responded to the 2011 Citizens’ Survey, which asked residents what they thought of the city council and its services. Of the mandatory services provided, residents are most likely to say that they are satisfied with important frontline services, such as collecting rubbish (83%), collecting recycling (76%), and cleaning the streets and public places. Maintenance of parks and open spaces in the city (74%) is the service with the highest level of satisfaction amongst discretionary services provided by the city council. These are all services which residents also say are important to them. A majority of residents (58%) said that they are satisfied with the way that Cambridge City Council runs things overall. While this is 5% lower than in 2009, there has been no increase in the number of residents who said they are dissatisfied. The report compares net satisfaction with services between 2009 and 2011. Net satisfaction increased with most mandatory services and some discretionary services that the council provides. However, some services
6 PAGE 06 & 07.indd 6
have seen drops in satisfaction levels since 2009, with the Tourist Information Centre and services for visitors (-13%) and managing, maintaining and cleaning the public toilets (-11%) seeing the greatest falls in net satisfaction. Overall perceptions of the city council are mixed. A high proportion of residents think that the council is easy to contact (74%) and cares about the environment (74%). But only 33% of residents agree that the council provides value for money and takes residents’ views into account when making decisions. The survey gives important feedback on where the city council needs to focus improvements. Councillors have also used the results to inform their decisions about the councils budget for the year ahead. ■ sults for the n read all the re ca u Yo r • out about othe survey, and find h. uc to in getting consultations by k/ .u ov .g ge .cambrid Website: w w w consultations 457043 Phone: 01223

On your marks… Launching our celebrations Flashmob – 18 April Wednesday 18 April marks the start of the city’s celebration events with just 100 days to go before the games open.

Nature reserves
need volunteers Cambridge currently has eight local nature reserves and this year the city council will be designating two new riverside reserves. The first will be at Sheeps Green, Coe Fen, New Bit and Vicars Brook and the second at Stourbridge Common. Local nature reserves help to protect some of the best wildlife habitats and geographical features across the city, while making an important contribution to biodiversity. The reserves provide an opportunity for people to study, learn about and enjoy nature on their doorstep. The city council is looking for volunteers to help manage and monitor these new sites. Volunteering provides an opportunity to exercise in the fresh air and learn new skills. ■

Haven’t got time to volunteer on a big project? The city’s local nature reserves are just part of a network of natural green spaces supporting biodiversity. One of the greatest areas of habitat is actually gardens. People can help the wildlife in their own gardens by putting up a nest box, planting a fruit tree or even digging a pond. You can find tips about gardening for wildlife on the Wildlife Trust’s website. Residents can also take part in this year’s local Wildlife Trust Annual Garden Watch survey. Last year, an impressive 2,500 wildlife records were submitted for the Cambridge area. Every two months there will be a new species for people to look for - the species for March is the common toad and in April and May it’s the turn of the orange-tip and brimstone butterflies. The records gathered help the Wildlife Trust to map the distribution of wildlife in the county. To find out how to tell your frogs from your toads and to submit your sighting, visit www.wildlifebcnp.org or call the Wildlife Trust on 01954 713500. ■

Tell Us Once
scheme launched
Cambridge City Council is taking part in a new scheme that makes it easier for people to notify government departments of births and deaths. The national ‘Tell Us Once’ service is designed to take away some of the stress involved in notifying government
departments and local councils at these busy and emotional times. After registering a birth at any of the county council’s registration offices, the registrar will now take some basic details and will then fill out some information online that gives necessary information directly to all
government departments and local authorities which includes Cambridge City Council. When registering a death, you will likewise be invited to make use of the scheme. The bereavement service will then inform the DVLA, the passport agency and any other relevant departments including our own so that we can update our records such as the electoral roll and council tax. n

Planning – do it online If you are thinking about making improvements to your home, have you considered making your planning application online? Applications can be made from the comfort of your own home and will save you time and printing costs. You can also look at a planning application submitted by someone else. Applications are made through the national Planning Portal website which provides customers with all the information they need about submitting planning applications electronically in one location. It has a variety of guidance and tools including fee and carbon calculators. Maps and site plans can also be purchased via links from the portal. You can even pay the planning fees securely online so there is no need to
post anything to the city council – saving you more time and hassle. Once your application is submitted, it is acknowledged and instantly downloaded into the city council’s planning system. If you have questions about a planning application, a duty planning officer is available from 10.30am–3pm every weekday at the city council’s Customer Service Centre. No appointment is necessary although meetings are limited to 15 minutes. n

The latest phase of improvements at Cambridge City Council’s cemetery and crematorium on Huntingdon Road are well under way. The public areas of the buildings including the chapels, waiting rooms and reception area are currently being refurbished to make visitors more comfortable. This should be completed towards the end of the year alongside the vestries for clergy and officiants which are also being redecorated. Installation of three new energyefficient cremators in a new extension has already been completed. The new cremators are 100% mercury efficient, have a heat-recovery system and reduce the city council’s carbon footprint by 23 tonnes of CO2 a year. Improvements to the cloister area are also complete and include a covered walkway where flowers can be displayed, offering people shelter from bad weather. n

Design your new home Cambridge City Council is exploring an exciting new opportunity for 40 local people to help design and own their own affordable and environmentally friendly home in Cambridge through a co-housing project. Co-housing involves the prospective home owners coming together at the start of a build to help decide what their homes and community will look like. They work with a builder or architect to design homes, giving them the chance to create their own high standards in sustainable living and unique
indoor and outdoor community spaces. The city council owns land at Orchard Park, called Cambridge K1, where the new homes will be built. The site is three miles from the city centre and is near the guided busway. Precisely what K1 will look like, how sustainable it will be and how it will work, will be determined by residents. Cambridge Architectural Research Ltd have been asked to research interest in co-housing at this site from which the city council hopes to form a group who will create this
new community. If there is enough interest, residents will then be guided through the design, financing and build process. ■

Working for a healthy, safe and enjoyable city
Your community centre There is an exciting range of community activities, sporting events, classes and support sessions at the city council’s seven community centres. Individuals can join classes while groups can make use of the facilities by hiring them for activities and meetings. The Meadows on St Catharine’s Street in the north of the city is one of the city council’s largest community centres. It has a full programme of activities for all ages including a playgroup, tea dances, baby yoga, tai chi and family support drop-in mornings and much more. People can also use computers free of charge for study or to browse the internet. Staff are on hand to help those
who need a little help get to grips with the basics during regular drop-in sessions. The Munchbox Café, which has a five-star hygiene rating, forms a central hub to the Meadows. Hot breakfast and homemade lunches are served between 9am and 2pm on weekdays and visitors can also enjoy hot drinks, sandwiches and cakes. The centre also has meeting rooms, a large air-conditioned sports hall, youth wing, changing rooms, large car park and a peaceful garden area. The other council owned community centres are: • 82 Akeman Street Community Room • Brown’s Field Youth and Community
Centre, Green End Road • Buchan Street Neighbourhood Centre • Ross Street Community Centre • 37 Lawrence Way Community House, King’s Hedges • Nuns Way Pavilion, Kirkwood Road. ■

Folk Festival 2012
Safer streets Antisocial behaviour, such as graffiti, noise, damage to property and rowdy street behaviour can cause distress to people. To help tackle this type of crime, help people feel safer, and strengthen communities, Cambridge City Council holds regular street surgeries. These involve council, police and fire services officers going from door to door in specific areas talking with residents about their antisocial behaviour experiences. In response, officers offer information and advice about how to deal with any problems they might be facing.
Street surgeries also include a mobile office, which is set up for people to visit to report problems and seek advice. If you would like to find out more about street surgeries, to discuss antisocial behaviour or request a street surgery in your area, contact the city council. ■
• Website: www.cambridge.gov.uk/asb Phone: 01223 457950 Email: asbsection@cambridge.gov.uk To report a crime please contact the police on 101 or, in an emergency, always dial 999.
Tickets are already on sale for this year’s Cambridge Folk Festival – and what’s more, there are discounts available for Cambridge residents! The festival will take place from Thursday 26 July to Sunday 29 July at Cherry Hinton Hall park. The full line-up is still to be announced but festival goers can look forward to a range of established and emerging music talent and the Proclaimers as the headline act. ■

Changes to
bin collections
Special computer software is being used to work out the best routes for Cambridge City Council bin collection lorries to make their way around Cambridge streets. Finding the best route will save time and require fewer vehicles which will reduce the cost of the service. The changes will happen in July 2012. Blue and green bins will still be emptied one week, with black bins being emptied the following week. Once work is complete, bin collection days for some residents will change. These changes will contribute to the savings that the council needs to make. Residents can find out about the changes to bin days in a number of ways: Read the next issue of Cambridge Matters in July, which will have more details Look out for stickers on bins in June Check our website at www. cambridge.gov.uk/bins Follow us on twitter.com/camcitco or facebook.com/recycleforcambridge Residents were asked what they thought about proposed changes through a telephone and internet survey in November. The majority said that they would support a change to their bin day if it made the service more

Grab a green grant Residents who have an idea for a ‘green’ project that will reduce the carbon footprint of the local community, may be eligible for a city council sustainable city project grant. Grants of up to £5,000 are available to Cambridge based groups and organisations whose work supports the city council’s environmental objectives. A recent example of an environmentally friendly project the city council supported is the installation of a compost toilet at the Cherry Hinton allotments. The toilet’s waterless system and low maintenance requirements have much lower environmental impact than a standard toilet. ■
