Saddle up for the BikeBus Explorer Looking to get out and about on your bike to blow away a few cobwebs this winter? You might want to know about BikeBus Explorer, an innovative new bus service which runs from Cambridge Station with a trailer attached so you can saddle up and explore the countryside around the city. The bus and bike trailer departs from Cambridge railway station on Sundays and most bank holidays, four times a day, and visits places such as Wimpole Hall, Gamlingay, Barton and Bourn, where you can get off and ride your bike in
different surroundings before catching the bus home (or cycling back if you prefer). Tickets for the new service are available on board, or in advance from the Tourist Information Centre at the Guildhall.

The North Pole returns to Parker’s Piece
Parker’s Piece is being transformed into a winter wonderland once again this Christmas, with the welcome return of The North Pole – the seasonal attraction that features a large outdoor ice rink, traditional fairground rides, food, drink and entertainment. The 600 square metre rink will sit at the heart of the attraction, with plenty of space for visitors of any age to hire skates, get changed under cover and then glide gracefully on to the ice and twirl around - or elegantly fall over, depending on your ability. Situated around the rink this year
will be fairground rides and stalls, plus food and drink courtesy of FoodPark, a collection of local street food vendors. The North Pole is open seven days a week, except for Christmas Day itself, until Monday 5 January. You can skate from 11am-9pm Monday to Friday and 10am9pm on Saturdays and Sundays, with the last sessions starting at 8pm.

Corn Exchange reaches new heights with Christmas show It could be a case of Ding Dong Merrily on High this Christmas, when the Cambridge Corn Exchange is transformed by award-winning aerial theatre company Ockham’s Razor, for an alternative family show featuring gravity-defying acrobats. Not Until We Are Lost (Thursday 18-Sunday 21 December) is a show performed by actors on a specially constructed steel structure inside the venue, while the audience moves around and below the action. During this one hour spectacle, which is suitable for all ages and features live music, five interwoven stories explore how it feels to be lost. Places are limited to just 300 per performance so early booking is strongly advised.

Local Plan – hearings under way As you may have seen in previous issues of Cambridge Matters, the Cambridge Local Plan is the document submitted to the government earlier this year, which will guide Clay Farm
development and growth in the city in the coming years. The government-appointed inspector for both the Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire Local Plans, Laura Graham, oversaw the first series of joint public hearings about the two councils’ proposed documents during November which covered matters such as housing, employment and retail needs as well as the overall vision. The second series of joint hearings are due to take place at the start of 2015 and will potentially include green belt land, transport and housing delivery. Following this there will be a series of hearings devoted to subjects that affect sites in the city of Cambridge only. The hearings are likely to continue for the next few months, following which the inspector will report her findings and advise of any changes needed to the Local Plan. Members of the public are welcome to attend the hearings.

Fund your neighbourhood project with an area committee grant Are you involved with a project or activity in your part of Cambridge that could do with some help getting off the ground, or would benefit from funding? If so, your group might be eligible for one of our area committee grants. The city council’s four area committees (covering the North, South, East, and West/Central wards of the city) can give grants to not-for-profit organisations or groups of local residents if their planned activities for 2015-16 will specifically benefit people who are disadvantaged through social or economic exclusion and who live in your local area. Examples of the sort of activities that could qualify for these grants include trips for groups of young or older
people, materials for art and crafts groups, equipment for neighbourhood sports clubs, toys for children’s groups, or even Christmas activities for December 2015. Guidelines will be available in January on our website. If your group wants to make an application, or you would like to find out more simply contact the council’s Grants Team in early January. The deadline for applications will be in March, and decisions on awards will be made by area committees in March or April.

Regeneration project in North Cambridge – have your say Proposed new station
Over the coming years, an area in the north of the city is set to go through extensive regeneration – and the council is looking for your views to help shape the project. The Cambridge Northern Fringe East (as it is currently known) is a large area south of the A14, east of Milton Road and west of the Cambridge-King’s Lynn railway. The area is earmarked to be the home for Cambridge’s proposed second railway station, alongside an extension of the Guided Busway, a new transport interchange and significant space for business, new housing and community amenities. The aim is to create a vibrant, sustainable new development that provides considerable new employment opportunities for the Cambridge region, much-needed new housing and additional community facilities while ensuring it feels an integrated part of the city as a whole. An initial ‘Issues and Options’ report sets out various options for an Area Action Plan to guide the redevelopment of the site and asks for public input on a wide range of questions including the vision for the area. To take part in the consultation, visit cambridge.gov.uk/currentconsultations from 8 December, pick up a printed copy from our Customer Service Centre or attend one of these exhibitions: • Wed 10 Dec – St John’s Innovation Centre, Cowley Rd (1pm-7pm) • Thurs 18 Dec – Buchan St Community Centre (4pm-8pm before North Area Committee) • Wed 14 Jan – Trinity Centre, Science Park (1pm-5pm) • Sat 17 Jan – Brown’s Field, Green End Rd (1.30pm-6pm) • Mon 19 Jan – Milton Community Centre (2pm-8pm)

Preparing for severe weather this winter People in this country like nothing better than talking about the weather – but that’s mainly because it offers such endless variety and unpredictability. So as the days get shorter and average temperatures get cooler it’s a timely moment to think about how prepared you might be if we experience adverse weather conditions during the winter, and where you can get the advice, information and help you might need.
For more on flooding and minimising risk visit cambridge.gov.uk/flooding. If it’s an emergency, our out of hours number is 0300 303 8389.
Flooding The number of intensive rain showers we experience in the UK is increasing, so if you live in a flood risk area in the city it pays to be prepared for flooding, either from surface run-off or from rising river levels. You can check whether your property is at risk of flooding – either in the short-term or in general – at gov.uk/check-if-youre-at-risk-offlooding or by phoning Floodline on 0345 988 1188. Ways in which you can prepare yourself and your home for possible flooding include: Ensuring you have adequate buildings and contents insurance If you live in an area of flood risk, ensure you know how flood warnings will be issued Create a simple flood defence as described at cambridge.gov.uk/flooding
• • •
Following a flood warning:
your immediate neighbours • Alert Move people, pets and valuables to a safe • place your car and move it to high ground • ifCheck possible If flooding is imminent, switch off your gas • and electricity supplies Check our website and Twitter for alerts from @camcitco (Cambridge City Council). Cambridge City Council has emergency planning officers on call round the clock to plan and activate major emergency response procedures. If your property or business is at risk, you can purchase empty sandbags and sand from builders’ merchants or DIY stores. The council has a limited supply of sandbags but we’ll try to help when possible and prioritise those in most need.

Snow, ice and cold weather Cambridgeshire County Council is responsible for gritting major roads, cycle paths, pavements and footpaths, but the city council works with them on request to help grit city centre pavements. The city council also grits car parks, open spaces, around public toilets, some local shop fronts and housing areas, the crematorium and cemeteries. All residents can help keep the city moving by safely clearing snow and ice leading to their business or property. The government website gov.uk/clear-snow-road-pathcycleway advises people to do it early in the day, to not use water, and to use salt, ash or sand. During bad weather you could also be a good neighbour by helping to clear pavements for elderly or vulnerable people nearby, or going to check that they’re okay.

News in brief Councils set to share services to cut costs Plans to share the city’s waste and recycling service with South Cambridgeshire District Council have been agreed. The plan to join forces and work from a depot in Waterbeach will aim to save the council £700,000 a year within three years, and will now be developed fully. The city council is also examining proposals to share some back office services (legal services and information technology services) with Huntingdonshire and South Cambridgeshire District Councils, in order to make additional savings. New cultural trust set to go live A new cultural trust has been created to run the Corn Exchange, plus the annual Cambridge Folk Festival, and other live arts and entertainment events like the Big Weekend and the annual fireworks on Midsummer Common. The new trust, called Cambridge Live, will take over the day-to-day running of the city’s arts and entertainment from the council in April. This restructure will save the city council money currently needed to manage and promote the venues and events.
Park Street car park findings revealed A public consultation was held recently on the future of the council’s Park Street multi-storey car and cycle park in the city centre. The majority of people responding favoured the option of building a new underground car and cycle park on the site, with residential and commercial development above. Further detailed work on each of the options will be carried out before a final decision is made.

Changes to your bin collections this Christmas The bank holidays over Christmas will mean that there are some temporary changes to the days when your bins are collected. While most collections will either be on the usual day, or one day later than normal, residents whose normal collection day would be Thursday 25 December are asked to put their bins out on the Saturday before Christmas – Saturday 20 December. All the information will also be available on the council website,
on cards attached to your bins, and on posters around the city.
Recycle your Christmas tree Once this year’s festivities are over you can recycle your real Christmas tree at Cherry Hinton Hall car park, just off Cherry Hinton Road CB1 8DW, any time from Boxing Day to Sunday 18 January. You can also take your tree to the recycling centres at Butt Lane near Milton or Gravel Pit Hill, Thriplow, or cut it up yourself and put it in your green bin or brown compost sacks. If you do that, please make sure your bin lid still closes completely.

Help keep the drains clear – and save money on water bills Did you know that Anglian Water spends over £7 million every year to clear avoidable sewer blockages? We can all help avoid the disruption this causes – and in doing so keep our water bills down – by disposing of fats, oils and greases properly, rather than pouring them down the sink or drain. Solid fat and small amounts of used cooking oil soaked up with kitchen towel can go in your green bin. Larger amounts of runny, used cooking oil should be allowed to cool, placed in a sealed container and taken to the county recycling centres at Butt Lane near Milton CB24 6DQ or Gravel Pit Hill • Website: www.keep-it-clear.co.uk in Thriplow SG8 7HZ.
Don’t bin your old clothes Recycle your plastic bags Remember you can now include plastic bags, wrapping and film for recycling in your blue bin – just in time for all that extra Christmas packaging!
If you have any old or unwanted clothes or textiles cluttering up your drawers or wardrobe, they could still have a bright future, no matter what condition they are in. Anything from odd shoes and pants with holes in them, to worn out clothes and stained fabrics can be recycled and turned into items like new clothes or furniture. All you have to do is take clean and dry items to your nearest textile bank. To find out where yours is visit cambridge.gov.uk/recyclingpoints

Action on Energy show home takes shape in time for winter Action on Energy, the council-led scheme that provides funding to make houses more energy-efficient, now has its first show home on Coleridge Road, to help demonstrate the benefits of solid wall insulation. The property, which is owned by Kim and Charlie Browne, is a four bedroom semi-detached home of solid wall construction (typical of pre 1940s houses) with two extensions that are already insulated. Having visited many open eco homes around Cambridge over the last few years, Kim and Charlie had gleaned invaluable information and inspiration on how to make their home warmer and more energy efficient. Kim said: “The one thing we have always struggled with is heat loss through the external walls, so as soon as we heard about the Solid Wall insulation offer we absolutely jumped at Insulation blocks fitted, waiting for first coat of render the chance to apply. “The thought of having a warmer home that was also healthier for installed to cover the entire solid wall area. the environment was at the top of our list.

New ‘community trigger’ helps victims of antisocial behaviour Have you ever been a victim of antisocial behaviour? Do you know a friend, relative or neighbour who has? If that’s the case, you’ll probably know that it can be a long and difficult process trying to get the problem sorted out. But new laws which have recently been introduced are set to make it easier for people affected by antisocial behaviour to tackle and resolve any persistent issues they may be experiencing in their neighbourhoods. Victims of antisocial behaviour can now use a new power called the “community trigger” to request action (starting with a full review of their case) if they feel that either no action, or inadequate action has taken place to tackle problems they had previously reported. Different agencies, including the city ■
council, the police, NHS groups and providers of social housing now have a duty to review a case when a resident requests one and when the case meets a certain agreed threshold. For Cambridge, this threshold has been agreed as three complaints of antisocial behaviour having been made in a six month period - although the persistence of the behaviour, the harm caused, or potential for harm, and how it has previously been addressed will also be considered. If you or someone you know thinks they are being affected in this way, applications can be made to Cambridge City Council by either the victim themselves or someone acting on their behalf with their consent. There is no age limit and the victim may be individuals, businesses or community groups.

Brown’s Field welcomes the community The council has a number of community centres situated around the city’s neighbourhoods, which all offer great facilities for use by a variety of local groups. One of these venues is Brown’s Field Youth and Community Centre, which is located just off Green End Road in East Chesterton. Since the council’s Children’s and Young People’s Participation Service (otherwise known as ChYpPS) took over the day-to-day running of it last April, the team based there have worked
hard to make what was already an architecturally-striking, modern building even more user-friendly for visitors. The large main entrance foyer has been re-arranged to provide an area with tables, chairs, books, play equipment and hot drinks machines, where visitors are welcome to spend time. There’s now also a refurbished and fully networked meeting and training room available to hire for groups or nearby businesses. A variety of activities take place at Brown’s Field in a typical week, mirroring the variety of different spaces available there. The main hall (known as The Sunshine Hall) is a large space with its own ball pond and soft play equipment, where stay and play sessions take place every Tuesday from 10am-12 noon (£2 per family, under-5s to be accompanied) and is also used for fitness and even ballroom dancing classes. Other rooms offer bright, airy locations for groups of any size, and there are also wellappointed kitchen facilities for use by groups holding sessions there.
Burglars don’t quit for Christmas Cambridgeshire Police are reminding residents about some ways to deter burglaries this Christmas. Burglars can sometimes take advantage of people leaving their homes empty when they go on holiday or visit family or friends at this time of year. If you’re going to be away, it’s worth remembering not to announce it on social networks like Facebook, as criminals could also be looking and take the opportunity to break into an unoccupied home. Officers are also urging residents to keep
Christmas presents out of sight. Before presents are placed under the tree, they should ideally be kept in closed wardrobes or under beds. Try to delay putting them under the tree until Christmas morning, particularly if they will be visible from outside. And don’t forget that burglars can target homes if they see discarded packaging from expensive gifts. Cardboard boxes and packaging should be properly broken down so they fit into a recycling bin out of sight. If you want help in protecting your home from burglars why not use Cambridgeshire Constabulary’s new crime prevention tool? The interactive house on their website allows you to visit key areas around a home where security could be improved, and how to do it.

The overall aim of Brown’s Field is to provide a facility that people in the neighbourhood know and use for a multitude of activities – whether an affordable venue for children’s parties, a place to hold regular meetings or a home for fitness sessions – and as a focal point for the community. ‘It’s your community centre’ is the message, so if you’d like to find out more, why not pay the team a visit or contact them for more information.

City Deal transport schemes up for discussion The Greater Cambridge City Deal is moving ahead as councillors start to discuss the transport schemes which could be prioritised with new government funding. The City Deal was signed by government, council leaders, Greater Cambridge Greater Peterborough Enterprise Partnership and the University of Cambridge in June, securing £100 million initially, to be invested in improving transport and facilitating new housing in Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire from 2015 to 2020. The schemes being considered were developed to complement the 44,000 new jobs and 33,000 new homes planned for Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire to 2031, and aim to complement other exciting projects planned for the area such as the Cambridge Science Park Station and the A14 upgrade. Areas being looked at for bus, cycle and pedestrian improvements include the A428 and A1307 corridors, Histon Road, Milton Road, Station Road and Hills Road, with new cycle links across the city and potential for a western orbital route around Cambridge to improve bus access. The government funding won’t cover all the proposed schemes,
News in brief
and work is being done to identify which schemes would be best to be delivered in the first five years of the City Deal. A final decision will be taken by councillors representing the city council, county council and South Cambridgeshire District Council in January. v.uk • Email: andrew.limb@cambridge.go Phone: 01223 457004
New strategy targets poverty in the city
Council becomes Living Wage employer Cambridge City Council has recently become accredited as a Living Wage employer by the Living Wage Foundation. The announcement was made during Living Wage Week and means council workers will receive the Living Wage, a figure set independently each year, to reflect the real cost of living in the UK. Boost for Chesterton and Mitcham’s Corner A new coordinator has been appointed to improve the Chesterton and Mitcham’s Corner areas of the city. Polly Plouviez, the new Chesterton/Mitcham’s Corner Coordinator will look at ways of bringing together businesses based there for marketing initiatives, events, environmental improvements and to look for additional external funding.

to the city’s leisure facilities. In addition initiatives are being proposed, including: Helping the development of local credit unions as alternatives to loan sharks Expanding advice services to ensure residents are aware of benefits they’re entitled to Promoting the Living Wage to employers in the city Increasing apprenticeships available at the city council and elsewhere in the city Promoting schemes to reduce residents’ utility bills If you’d like to see the full draft antipoverty strategy, and let us know what you think of it, please take part in the consultation by visiting the website by 16 January. Printed copies of the consultation document are also available from our Customer Service Centre on Regent Street, or call 01223 457000 and we’ll send one to you.
• • • • • Although Cambridge is known as an economically successful city, a significant number of households here still struggle to make ends meet, whether due to the high cost of living and housing, low wages, unemployment or other factors such as energy costs. That’s why the city council recently published a draft anti-poverty strategy , and are currently looking for feedback on their proposals from residents. The aim of the strategy is to support existing schemes that help residents and families on low incomes, such as building new social housing and offering discounts
