We’ll meet again? Join the World War Two commemorations This year sees the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II, and events will be taking place across the summer in Cambridge to mark the occasion. Between May and September there will be a season of activities under the banner ‘The Home Front: Cambridgeshire Commemorates the End of WW2’. Perhaps your group, club, residents’ group or organisation is planning a community activity that others can join in with? Whether that’s a VE Day style party, a night of 1940s music, a history group, a memorial event or even creating a ‘Dig For Victory’ garden – we’d love to hear from you, so your activity and to register For more details • can be added to the official an event: programme of events and shire.gov.uk/ww2 Website: cambridge publicised on The Home Front’s 02/01223 715476 Phone: 01223 7155 web page.

Early bird discount parking at Grand Arcade If you’re planning to come in to the city centre by car in the next few months, why not make it on a Tuesday? For a trial period, the council is offering discount parking every Tuesday morning at Grand Arcade multi-storey car park. Customers will be charged at the overnight rate of £1.20 an hour until midday, which is a saving of £3.60 on a three hour stay. The trial scheme is aimed at encouraging drivers to visit Cambridge when more space is typically available. If it proves a success the council may look to roll out similar schemes in the other city car parks it manages.

Cambridge Matters

Elections are coming – News in brief are you registered to vote? You’ve probably noticed if you’ve switched on the news or opened a paper in the last few weeks, that on Thursday 7 May, the country is going to the polls in a general election. Here in Cambridge on the same day, we also have elections for 14 of the 42 seats on the city council. New rules regarding voter registration came into effect last year, in order to improve the accuracy of the electoral register and to combat fraud. Individual Electoral Registration (IER) means each of us now has the responsibility to ensure we are registered, rather than the previous system where one person in a household provided details for everyone living there. In February, every household was sent a letter saying who is registered at the address and what you need to do to register yourself to vote. You can now register to vote online at

www.gov.uk/register-to-vote It only takes a few minutes, but you will need to have your national insurance number ready, as this is one of the pieces of information that is used to verify your identity. If you don’t have access to the internet, you can request a paper form by calling the council on 01223 457048. Registering to vote is separate from other council functions, so don’t assume that because you pay council tax or have informed us that you live at an address, that you are registered. The deadline for registering to vote on 7 May is Monday 20 April, but don’t wait to register - do it now and make sure you have a say in who forms the next UK government and who runs local services that matter to you in Cambridge.

Boost for city transport A list of priority transport schemes that will provide a boost for the local economy for Greater Cambridge has been agreed. These proposals focus on tackling the most congested roads in Cambridge, freeing up bus services and improving life for residents, cyclists and pedestrians. The new Greater Cambridge City Deal Executive Board met earlier this year to decide which schemes will be looked at in the first five years of the Greater Cambridge City Deal, from 2015 to 2020. Other schemes that had been under consideration are expected to come forward in subsequent years. Alongside the government money there will be other funding, particularly developer contributions, which is why the Executive Board were able to prioritise above the £100m of City Deal funding available. This additional funding will be essential in helping to meet the costs of these vital schemes. The projects the board have agreed to prioritise in the first five years of the City Deal programme are:

Est. Cost (£m) Milton Road bus priority

Madingley Road bus priority

34.6

Histon Road bus priority

4.3

A428 to M11 segregated bus route/ A428 corridor Park & Ride

24.5

City centre capacity improvements/ cross-city cycle improvements

22.6

A1307 corridor to include bus priority/A1307 additional Park & Ride

Chisholm Trail cycle links/Chisholm Trail bridge

8.4

Total:

156.4

The board also agreed that a further £24m be put towards programme management and scheme development for this and the next round of funding. The first step will be working out what is possible for each scheme. Further public engagement and consultation on the details of each one will then be carried out as they come forward.

Public art project kicks off A proposed art work by Neville Gabie and Alan Ward to commemorate the role of Parker’s Piece as the birthplace of the ‘Cambridge Rules,’ which helped establish the modern game of football, is set to be commissioned. The proposal will incorporate a large granite block inscribed with the Cambridge Rules in various languages, which will be cut into nine equal blocks. The central piece will stay on Parker’s Piece, while the other eight will be sent as ‘gifts’ to worldwide locations tracing pioneering stories where football took root. It is set to be installed by the end of 2016. Council tax booklet coming to your home Look out for a booklet called ‘Your Services, Your Council Tax’ – landing on your doormat soon. This annual guide outlines how much Council Tax you will be asked to pay this year, and how it will be spent on essential services for Cambridge residents in 2015-16 by the county council, city council, the police and the fire authority. Do you have an extra green bin? Last year the council began charging for households to have any additional green bins emptied. If you have more than one green bin it will not be emptied unless you have registered and paid the charge of £30 a year for it. To do this or to request an additional green bin visit cambridge. gov.uk/additional-green-bin-collection

Work starts soon on groundbreaking community centre The new multi-use community centre at the heart of the Clay Farm development in the south of Cambridge has moved a stage closer with the appointment of a company, ISG, to start building it later this year. The new five-storey community centre will be a landmark building for the new neighbourhood. It will provide a mix of community facilities including a hall for events and activities, public library, café, indoor bike storage and children’s room on the ground floor looking out on the new public space, Hobson Square. On the first floor there will be additional library space and community meeting rooms, while the second floor will be home to a medical centre with nine consulting rooms, a minor operations treatment centre and other medical facilities. Finally, the top

two floors will be given over to affordable residential flats. The building is designed to be sustainable and of high quality, with environmentallyfriendly features including solar cells on the

Quad-based housing comes to the fore

An innovative new housing development being built at Clay Farm, just beside the new community centre, has now received its planning permission. Work is set to start soon on the site previously known as The Quad – but now named ‘Virido’ by developer, Hill. The development will feature 208 residential properties, and has been designed to set new sustainability standards for a project of this size in Cambridge. Key to the design are environmentally-friendly features, such as reduced water usage, lower energy consumption and areas to encourage plant and animal life, which mean the homes will be among the most sustainable to be built in the city. The homes will be arranged in a grid of eight unique, differentlylandscaped squares or ‘quads’, reflecting the layout of some nearby Cambridge University colleges. Homes will surround interior gardens and public areas to promote a sense of community, with shared courtyards and roof terraces, and a public square also forming part of the plans. A range of one, two, three and four-bedroom homes will be available, 50% of them for affordable rents or as part of shared ownership schemes. The first residents are expected to move in by the end of 2015.

roof to generate electricity and a ‘green roof’ designed to absorb carbon dioxide and reduce the effects of rainwater running off. Work is due to start on the building this summer.

Milestone for development in south of Cambridge The new neighbourhoods being developed in the south of Cambridge near Trumpington celebrated a notable landmark recently, when the 1000th new home to be built there was completed. To mark the occasion the council, residents’ groups and the Bedfordshire Pilgrims Housing Association (one of the partners providing affordable homes there) held a celebration for new residents – with lunch, a Chinese ‘lion dance’, craft activities and plenty of cake. The aim of the event was to bring people together to help people foster community spirit and forge links with neighbours.

Cambridge Live – going live soon

From April, a new organisation called Cambridge Live is taking over the day-today running of Cambridge’s largest venue, The Corn Exchange, as well as the world famous Cambridge Folk Festival, and other arts and entertainment events in the city like the Big Weekend and the annual fireworks on Midsummer Common. Previously all of these had been run directly by the council. The change is being made to help the venue and events develop and thrive. Reductions in the council’s budgets over recent years have meant it has to look at new ways of providing its services, especially discretionary ones such as arts and recreation that the council is not legally obliged to provide, but which many people in Cambridge have grown to expect and appreciate. Cambridge Live will be operated as a charity, a non-profit making organisation supported by the council. People going to shows, gigs and events at the Corn Exchange or attending this year’s Folk Festival (which will be licensed by the council to Cambridge Live) probably won’t notice any major differences aside from the new Cambridge Live logos instead of the

city council one on tickets, across the Wheeler Street box office and around Cambridge. All existing tickets will remain valid, and all mailing list details held will be transferred to the new trust. What the new arrangement will do is enable the venue, the festival and indeed arts across the city to operate in new ways. So audiences can expect some exciting new developments in the years and months to come. The new era kicks off on 1 April. Cambridge Live promise the same venues, the same festival, and the same great arts and entertainment events for Cambridge - only better! ● To mark the launch of Cambridge Live there’s a day and night of free entertainment at the Corn Exchange on 1 April, with pop, folk, brass, dancing, exhibitions and more! See cornex.co.uk for details.

The story of a juice carton – from blue bin to a new life... What happens to your recycling once it’s been collected by the council’s waste collection teams? We followed one humble juice carton on its journey through the recycling system...

The mixture of plastic film and aluminium removed from the cardboard fibre is cleaned and squeezed dry, and then baled. It can be used to make composite (mixed-material) products such as garden furniture, or as a fuel to recover energy.

The cardboard fibres are used to make industrial tube cores for rolls of cling film, textile yarns and paper.

A Cambridge resident squashes an empty juice carton and puts it in the blue bin for roadside collection.

The cardboard-fibre ‘slurry’ is filtered several times to remove any grit, glue or tiny remnants of aluminium or plastic.

Cartons are made up of 75% cardboard, 21% plastic film and 4% aluminium, sandwiched in layers. They are pulped and these materials are separated using a large rotating screw.

Materials are then transported for further processing and transformed back into new products. Cartons are baled and sent to the new Sonoco Alcore carton recycling plant in Yorkshire.

All the materials collected from blue bins by our waste collection teams are taken to the materials recycling facility in Waterbeach.

The materials are loaded onto conveyor belts. They then go through a series of processes to separate the different materials.

Mechanical equipment such as magnets, paddles, suction and infra-red sensors, cleverly separate glass, plastics, paper, card, cartons, aluminium and steel cans. Some hand sorting also takes place.

Advice and support for people over 65 Are you over 65, and could you do with some extra help from time to time? Do you know an older person who you think might need the sort of additional support to help them make the most of life?

Safety first – how the city is tackling crime Cambridge is generally a safe place to live, work and visit, but, like any city, it has its share of issues that can affect how safe people feel here. With that in mind the council is this year proposing to work on four projects alongside the police and voluntary groups, aimed at preventing crime in certain areas: ● Launching the ‘White Ribbon Campaign’ in the city to tackle domestic abuse by engaging with men and boys; ● Expanding the council’s Neighbourhood Resolution Panels which give victims of low-level crime or antisocial behaviour a say in how offenders make amends for their crime; ● Supporting the national ‘Prevent’ initiative which works with local communities to lessen the risks of extremist behaviour; ● Supporting the police in tackling some recurring types of crime in the Abbey ward. The work complements that of the Cambridge Community Safety Partnership – a group that brings together the local councils, the police, the fire service, the NHS and other groups to prioritise ways in which crime and antisocial behaviour can be reduced. As well as supporting the work of the Community Safety Partnership, this year’s council budget also proposes funding area committees so they can set priorities in local • Website: cambridge.gov.uk/ community-safety neighbourhoods, and target Email: asbsection@cambridge. antisocial behaviour, noise, gov.uk litter and other nuisance Phone: 01223 457950 behaviour.

Cambridge Matters

Free public wifi for Cambridge is here A new public wifi network is being launched in Cambridge and surrounding areas this month to make it quicker and easier to get online around the city while you’re on the move. Anyone will be able to connect to the internet using free wifi in many different public buildings, open spaces and city centre streets. CambWifi is going live over the coming weeks in more than 100 public buildings and open spaces across the city and beyond. These include libraries, Park and Ride sites, council offices, children’s centres, sheltered housing, leisure facilities, and community centres. People can also access free public wifi in additional open spaces such as Parker’s Piece and Jesus Green through a service called The Cloud, which is run in conjunction with the University of Cambridge as an extension to their existing ■

education networks. The public wifi network has been developed by the Connecting Cambridgeshire partnership including Cambridgeshire County Council, Cambridge City Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council, with funding coming from the government. It’s simple and safe to join these networks simply by registering with your email address. Try it next time you’re out and about in Cambridge.

Spring edition

Can you help to get Cambridge buzzing? be used here to encourage wildflowers, and thus pollinators, which otherwise can be out competed by the more vigorous grasses.

Where would we be without bees? Many plants, including crops, depend on insects to transfer pollen between flowers. Making sure there are enough insect pollinators is vital for wildlife and for our own food supply. Honeybees and wild bees are among the most important pollinators but their numbers have declined significantly in the last 20 years. This is thought to be for a combination of reasons which are still being researched, including disease, parasites, climate change and agricultural practices. In order to try and help stop this decline in numbers, the council is currently working on a number of projects to provide habitats that encourage wild bees as well as other pollinating insects like moths, butterflies, and hoverflies. What’s happening this spring? This spring the council is working with the Friends of Nightingale Recreation

What else does the council do for bees? ● The council manages 12 local nature reserves, that encourage pollinators with native flowering plants and by retaining deadwood and other features for them to nest in. For more on the reserves visit lnr.cambridge.gov.uk ● New neighbourhoods around the city are being developed to include native flowering trees and shrubs, as well as large areas of new natural green space such as at Clay Farm green corridor near Addenbrooke’s Hospital and the new country park at Trumpington Meadows. This park includes many acres of speciesrich meadow along the river valley to Hauxton; ● Tree officers have an annual tree planting programme which includes the use of native and non-native species attractive to pollinating insects. ● Some of the city’s allotment sites allow bee keeping, and bees are also kept at the community orchard in Trumpington where an observation hive has been installed.

Ground in Queen Edith’s to sow a mixture of meadow flowers on a disused bowling green there. The mix of plants will include native and non-native species in order to attract a wide range of pollinator species throughout the spring and summer. As well as providing a feast for the insects, the space will be transformed into a kaleidoscope of colour and scent for the public to enjoy. The council is also sowing native perennial meadow next to the recently created reedbed at Logan’s Meadow local nature reserve in East Chesterton this spring. A special ‘soil inversion’ kit will

What can you do? Collectively our gardens cover a larger area than all the protected nature reserves in the country. They provide us with an amazing opportunity to benefit pollinators and a huge array of other wildlife. You could plant a small patch of wildflower seed or ask at the garden centre for bee-friendly plants. There are also hosts of websites offering tips and facts on wildlife gardening from digging a pond to putting up a nest box, so why not get out and bee active for pollinators this spring...

Do you want to be a Cambridge tour guide? How much do you know about Cambridge? Do you think you have enough knowledge to become one of the official tour guides you see in the city centre? Would you like to learn how to be one? If so, later this year, the council, together with the Society of Cambridge Tourist Guides, is running the first of two courses leading to

qualifications that would enable you to become a freelance tourist guide in Cambridge and East Anglia. There are two linked courses. The Level 3 Cambridge City guide course starts in September this year – and following on from this is the Level 4 ‘Cambridge and Beyond’ guide course starting in September 2016. This year’s Level 3 course includes 30 lectures, practical visits and training sessions, seminars and around 180 hours of home study followed by written and practical exams testing your knowledge of the city’s past and present, and assessing your ability to carry out this role that enhances the experience of many visitors to the city each year. Interested in the possibility of starting work towards a new career? For more information on the courses contact John Milne, Tours Manager at john.milne@cambridge.gov.uk or phone 01223 457570.

City taxi service set to improve after cap on licences The number of taxis licensed to operate in Cambridge has been limited for the first time since 2001. Following an extensive public consultation and independent survey, the council decided that there was currently no unmet demand for taxis in the city, and that the maximum number of licensed hackney carriages (the other name for taxis) should be limited. By imposing a limit, it is hoped that there will be less overcrowding at taxi ranks in the city centre and that safety for passengers will be improved because taxi drivers will have less need to work long hours to compete for business. In addition the new limit on numbers will give licensed taxi drivers and the council the opportunity to work more closely together to raise standards through more regular training sessions.

News in brief

Council backs anti-trafficking campaign The council is supporting a poster campaign to help tackle the crime of human trafficking. Posters are being placed inside private cubicles at female public toilets in the city, supporting the organisation Soroptimist International’s campaign to raise awareness of human trafficking, particularly among women and children, and to offer help to anyone who may be affected. Green light for new council housing scheme More than £7m in funding has been approved to fund 39 new council homes on land at Harrison Drive off Hills Road. Subject to planning permission the scheme will see the homes built as part of a wider development, with Homerton College and developer Hill. Most of the properties will be one- or two-bedroom homes for social rent or shared ownership. This scheme is the first in the city to see new council housing built on land not owned by the council. Council training can help business thrive If you work in the food and drink business, the council has a range of training courses to help you keep up to date with the latest legislation and advice. Courses are available in subjects including food safety, health and safety, fire safety, manual handling, licensing law, and allergen training.
