One of the council’s bin crews paid a visit to a local nursery recently. Youngsters at Millington Road Nursery learned about the work of the council’s waste team as part of a project they were doing on recycling.

The children, aged two to four, had the chance to go up in the cab of the crew’s bin lorry and see how the waste from their nursery is collected for recycling. ■ See how your paper waste gets recycled on page 13.

Changes to bin collections over Easter Don’t forget that the day your bin is collected will change over the Easter period at the end of March. Bin collections which would usually fall on Good Friday (25 March) will be carried out on the Saturday before Easter (Saturday 19 March) instead. All collections in the week beginning Monday 28 March will

take place one day later than normal. All Easter egg packaging including cardboard boxes, moulded plastic, plastic wrap and foil can be put in your blue recycling bin. Bins should be placed out a day later than usual following the May bank holidays on Monday 2 and Monday 30 May.

Cambridge Matters

Love Your Local Market this May Cambridge’s central market has played an important role in the day-to-day life of the city centre for centuries, dating back as far as medieval times. Today, the city boasts three regular open-air markets, which are managed by the council and are home to dozens of local traders. The general market in Market Hill runs from 10am-4pm every Monday to Saturday, with stalls providing everything from vinyl records to bike repairs, fashion to fruit and veg. The regular Sunday local food, arts and crafts market is popular for its local produce and work for sale by talented artists. We also manage the art and craft market at All Saints’ Garden off Trinity Street, which runs from 11am-4pm every Saturday and on some other days during the year. Each year during May, a nationwide celebration of British markets called ‘Love Your Local Market’ takes place, to highlight the contribution markets make to the life of towns and cities up and down the country, in terms of boosting local economies and supporting small independent businesses. This year’s event takes place from 17-31 May. Among the activities planned for the fortnight are free market stalls for young people, live cookery demonstrations, school visits, a charity day, free samples of traders’ produce and

free bike checks. For more information about other events that will form part of Love Your Local Market as they are confirmed, keep an eye on our website and follow @cammarkets on Twitter. ts

Council tax booklet coming to your home soon Look out for a booklet called ‘Your Services, Your Council Tax’, which will be delivered to all homes in Cambridge over the next few weeks. This annual guide sets out how much Council Tax residents will be asked to pay this year, and outlines how this money will be spent on the essential services provided by the county council, the city council, Cambridgeshire Police and the local fire authority. For more information about Council Tax, including what it helps pay for, and the various ways in which you can pay it, including online, visit cambridge.gov.uk/ council-tax

To Cambridge and beyond – new era for tourism begins The council has handed over the day-to-day running of services for tourism in Cambridge and the surrounding area to a new organisation. Visit Cambridge and Beyond is the name of the new ‘destination management organisation’ which came in to effect earlier this year. It is being led by local businesses involved in providing services to visitors, as well as local councils, the University of Cambridge, transport companies, and organisations including the National Trust. The new organisation aims to increase investment in tourism, which brings £583 million to the city’s economy, tackle some issues surrounding tourism, and encourage visitors to stay longer in the area. The new set-up could save the city council £160,000 over five years, and will initially be funded by commercial activity from tours and ticket sales, plus a membership scheme. It is expected to be self-funding within three years.

Spring edition Car park charges frozen

Transport projects help shape the city of the future What will Cambridge look like in 25 years? Will it still be a city where innovation, research and business flourish, creating new jobs? Will people earning a range of incomes be able to live in and around Cambridge? Will the city be easier to get around? Will quality of life be maintained? As you may know, the Greater Cambridge City Deal has been established to look at issues like this. The City Deal will see government funding, initially of £100 million with up to a further £400 million pounds being allocated to the Cambridge region over the coming years, in order to improve transport infrastructure. The council is already working with colleagues from other councils and organisations on how best to use this funding, to make sure Cambridge continues to be a place people wish to live, work in and visit, that it continues to be a city with a vibrant and successful local economy and its own character. So far, a number of possible projects aimed at improving transport and reducing congestion are being considered. The recent Call for Evidence on tackling congestion in Cambridge heard lots of ideas from local people and other cities on ways to improve transport into, out of and around Cambridge, with 70 written submissions received. Consultations have already taken place on: ● the planned new Chisholm Trail north to south walking and cycling route in the city; ● Initial proposals to improve bus and cycling trips between Cambourne and Cambridge;

Short-stay car parking charges at the car parks we manage have been frozen for 2016-17. The freeze covers multi-storey car parks at Grand Arcade, Queen Anne Terrace and the Grafton, as well as other car parks around the city. The council’s Shopmobility customers and Blue Badge holders will continue to receive three hours’ free parking. However, business permit and season ticket holders will pay more to park, and weekday charges will come in an hour earlier in the mornings.

More council vehicles set to go electric this year

Initial proposals to improve bus, pedestrian and cycle trips along Histon Road and Milton Road; ● 5 projects to improve cycle routes in the city Other projects to be examined this year include a new ‘orbital’ route for buses to the west of Cambridge (consultation ends on 21 March), and potential improvements along the A1307 between Cambridge and Haverhill. The City Deal’s board is made up of members from local councils, the local enterprise partnership and the University of Cambridge. As well as transport schemes, the board will also look at ways to help provide better housing and ensure people have the right skills needed by employers in the area. If you’d like to keep up to date with all the news relating to the City Deal, or take an active part in shaping some of the projects which could benefit the city in the coming years, take a look at the Greater Cambridge City Deal partnership’s website gccitydeal.co.uk ●

The council is set to increase the number of electric vehicles in its fleet, as part of its programme to replace vehicles that have reached the end of their working life. Nineteen council vehicles are due to be replaced in 2016-17 and at least seven of these will be electric vehicles. The seven new electric vehicles, will take the council’s electric fleet from zero to nine in less than a year.

Cambridge public WiFi In the Winter 2015 issue of Cambridge Matters, we included an article entitled ‘Free public WiFi still creating waves in the city’. The council would like to clarify that the public WiFi network in Cambridge was developed by the Connecting Cambridgeshire partnership, including Cambridgeshire County Council, Peterborough City Council, Cambridge City Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council, in collaboration with the University of Cambridge. The government provided £750,000 funding for the whole county, and almost 75,000 people registered to use it in the 12 months up to 1 March 2016.

Wildlife corridor project goes with the flow Did you know that there are several designated local nature reserves and wildlife sites to discover around the city? The council manages these sites to provide suitable habitats for wildlife, and to offer an accessible taste of nature to city dwellers. We have recently been working with volunteer groups to restore sections of Cherry Hinton Brook, where it flows alongside the Sainsbury’s supermarket on Barnwell Road. The brook is an ecologically important chalk stream and is part of one of Cambridge’s city wildlife sites, and stretches from its source at Giant’s Grave near Cherry Hinton High Street, through Cherry Hinton Hall park grounds, past the disused quarry lakes off Coldham’s Lane, and down as far as the supermarket. It also forms part of a larger wildlife corridor taking in city and county wildlife sites, stretching as far as the River Cam at Stourbridge Common. Chalk streams are rare, both in the UK and overseas, and have potential to provide rich habitats for different species. The brook was prioritised for a project to restore and increase its flow in order to reduce silt build-up and create improved habitats for wildlife. This long-term project was carried out with the Friends of Cherry Hinton Brook and other partners and volunteer groups. It reduced shading by removing trees and scrub, and installed features to encourage spawning fish and invertebrates, and specific species such

as water voles. The project was funded by the local Biodiversity Partnership and the city council. Four new information panels have also been installed along the route, which has a public footpath along much of it, to explain some of the features people can see there. Species which have already benefited from the restoration work to the brook include bullhead fish, water voles, grey wagtails and kingfishers.

Wildflower meadows to get parks buzzing We recently consulted the public on a proposal to establish new wildflower meadows in four city parks: Fison Road, Ditton Recreation Ground, Trumpington Recreation Ground and Jesus Green. These extensive beds of native and non-native ‘pictorial’ flowers will be designed to encourage pollinating

insects including butterflies and bees. The mix of flowers was successfully trialled last year with a meadow created on a disused bowling green at Nightingale Recreation Ground. For more information, or for the chance to get involved with the project, email parks@cambridge.gov. uk

More local employers join Living Wage campaign The cost of living and working in Cambridge is a continuing challenge for many people here, with house prices and rents much higher than the national average. One of our current priorities is tackling poverty that exists in the city, partly as a result of this high cost of living, and improving the standard of living for people on lower incomes. Since 2014 we have supported the Living Wage Foundation’s national Living Wage campaign, which encourages employees to pay more than the minimum wage, to reflect the real cost of living. Last November the figure for this year was set at £8.25 an hour, compared to the national minimum wage of £6.70 (or £7.20 for over-25s from 1 April). So far in Cambridge, 36 companies and organisations have been officially accredited as Living Wage employers, ranging from large employers like the city council itself and technology giant ARM Ltd, to smaller companies including cafés, local charities, a food distributor and a cleaning company. Companies to sign up recently include local delivery company Outspoken, children’s clothes internet retailer Cambridge Baby and vegetarian restaurant Rainbow Café. Rebecca Parker is a member of Daily Bread Cambridge, a cooperative supplying ethically-sourced natural foods, who became accredited recently. “At Daily Bread we have always paid higher than the minimum wage,” she explained. “Although we have not had to increase our wages in order to become accredited, we felt it would be beneficial so everyone knows we are a Living Wage employer. The staff are very supportive of the decision, as it really fits in with our

ethos of valuing all people equally.” Rob King is the managing director of Outspoken, who became accredited last November. “Cambridge is such an expensive place to live that the Living Wage should be the norm,” he said. “If you want to hold on to good staff you have to think of ways to make them stay and giving them a better wage is a good place to start.” If you’d like to find out more about the Living Wage, and what it could mean for you as an employer or an employee, • Website: cambridge.gov.uk/living-wage Email: livingwage@cambridge.gov.uk contact our Living Wage Social Media: facebook.com/ Coordinator Theresa livingwagecambridge Bateman using the contact details to the right.

Two new community centres set to open this year Residents in the south and north west of the city can look forward to new community facilities in their neighbourhoods later this year. The council will manage the two new community centres on behalf of trusts, made up of representatives from the organisations involved in the projects, which have been set up to oversee the centres in each area. The Clay Farm Centre in the south of the city between Trumpington and Addenbrooke’s, is due for completion in the summer and will open to the public this autumn. This five-storey building will include a hall for events and activities, public library, café, community rooms for hire and a medical centre, as well as residential flats on the upper floors. The Clay Farm Centre has been designed to be sustainable and

environmentally friendly, with features including solar cells to generate electricity and a ‘green roof’ containing vegetation to absorb carbon dioxide and prevent rain water from running off. The centre is being funded by the city council, the county council, Cambridgeshire Police and Bedfordshire Pilgrims Housing Association. Over at the North West Cambridge development which is taking shape either side of Huntingdon Road, the Storey’s Field Centre is due to be completed this autumn and will also feature a range of facilities available for use by the community. These will include a main hall for up to 180 people, capable of holding events ranging from concerts to weddings. The building will also feature two smaller spaces for events and meetings. The Storey’s Field Centre is being funded by the University of Cambridge.

Clay Farm Centre Storey’s Way

We will be appointing managers to both centres in the coming months and will be working closely with local residents to find out what activities they would most like the centres to provide.

Spring edition

The Paper Round: what happens to your paper recycling? We collect around 5,800 tonnes of paper and card from your homes for recycling every year. Here’s what happens to it.

All the materials collected from blue bins are taken to the materials recycling facility near Waterbeach.

The materials are loaded onto conveyor belts and mechanical equipment such as magnets and infra-red sensors sort the materials. A vibrating floor sorts flat items like paper from 3D items like bottles.

Paper is sorted into different quality grades by hand e.g. newspapers and pamphlets and mixed paper grade. Most is used to make newspaper and cardboard in the UK and abroad.

The paper is sent to paper mills such as Palm Paper in Kings Lynn where it is pulped in a tank containing chemicals and water which separates the fibres.

The whole process – from recycling your newspaper to it becoming a new paper on the newsstand – can take as little as seven days!

The finished giant roll of paper is cut into smaller reels and wrapped for use by printing houses.

The watery pulp is squirted between two layers of fine mesh to form a sheet, which is then passed through heated rollers to dry and flatten it, and then wound onto huge rolls.

Pulp is screened to filter out paper clips, CDs and other debris and then cleaned and de inked by being spun in a cone shaped container. Whitening agents are added as required.

Turn your food waste into a growing concern Over half of the seven million tonnes of food and drink thrown away each year in the UK comes from our homes. Most of this could have transformed into a tasty meal; but give us your onion and banana skins, chicken bones, burnt toast, egg shells and fish tails and we can transform them into something just as useful – compost. It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3: 1. Use a kitchen caddy or container with a lid to collect your food waste in the kitchen. You can pick up a caddy for free from any council reception. 2. Line the caddy with a brown paper liner – you can buy 50 liners for £2.80 at council receptions other than the Guildhall. Please do not use plastic, corn starch or bio-plastic liners, as these will not compost

properly in our fast composting process. Alternatively you can use newspaper to wrap your food waste. 3. When it is full, fold over the top of the liner and put it in your green bin. Wrapping your food waste and emptying your caddy regularly will help keep your caddy and green bin clean. Keep your caddy lid shut to keep out flies. When we empty your green bin the contents go to a composting plant near Waterbeach. In six weeks they are transformed into a rich soil conditioner, which you can collect for free to dig into your garden. To watch a video about the process visit www. recap.co.uk and click ‘What Happens To Waste.’

Cambridge Matters

All things being equal – how we promote equality and diversity in the city to help them understand the needs of different groups The council is also involved with many events each year to promote equality and diversity in the city. These include the annual Black History Month, Refugee Week, International Women’s Day, International Day for Persons with Disabilities and LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans) History Month.

Cambridge is a truly diverse city, with residents here coming from a wide variety of backgrounds. One of the council’s roles is to ensure the city continues to be safe, inclusive and welcoming for everyone who lives here, works here or visits. Our approach to promoting equality and diversity for all is outlined in the council’s Single Equality Scheme. This sets out how we comply with all legislation in order to promote equality and good relations between different groups, and to prevent discrimination. The Equality Scheme applies to all the ‘protected characteristics’ defined in the national Equality Act. These are: age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership status, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation. The council has five main objectives under the Equality Scheme, which covers the period up to 2018: ● To increase our understanding of the city’s communities so we can target services effectively

The Equality Pledge Late last year we joined forces with the University of Cambridge and other local organisations to launch the Equality Pledge for the city. The pledge has been introduced as a way of publicly demonstrating a commitment to helping Cambridge continue to be a city that welcomes people of all backgrounds. Any individuals, businesses or organisations are invited to take the pledge, which states: “We believe in the dignity of all people and their right to respect, and equality of opportunity. We value the strength that comes with difference and the positive contribution that diversity brings to our community. Our aspiration is for Cambridge and the wider region to be safe, welcoming and inclusive.” If you’d like to take the Equality Pledge, you can find out more using the contact details below.

To improve access to, and take-up of services from all residents and communities ● To work towards all residents having equal access to public activities and spaces ● To tackle discrimination, harassment and victimisation and ensure people living here get on well ● To ensure the council’s own policies are non-discriminatory, and to work towards a representative council workforce These objectives are being pursued with partners such as the police and charities, in a number of ways. Examples include: ● A review of accessibility issues in the city centre affecting disabled people and others and Diversity ● Support for social and exercise groups • For more on our Equalityality Pledge: Equ for older people across the city policies or details of the ty-and-diversity uali k/eq ov.u ● Free swimming lessons for some Website: cambridge.g k ov.u ge.g brid children Email: equalities@cam ● Training for council staff and councillors Phone: 01223 457063 ●

Save energy, water and money at home Whatever type of home we live in, we can all take actions to make it greener, healthier and a more comfortable place to live. The council has produced a ‘Greening your home’ guide which will provide you with the information you need to make your home and lifestyle greener. The information in this guide can help you to: ● Save money ● Save water and reduce water pollution

Reduce your household waste Make greener choices ● Live in a healthier, more comfortable home ● Improve your garden and enhance biodiversity ● Find sources of funding for greening your home The guide can be downloaded from the Council’s website here: www.cambridge.gov.uk/greening-yourhome or a hard copy can be collected from the Customer Service Centre at Mandela House, 4 Regent Street, Cambridge. 9am-5pm.

Cambridge Matters

Could you be a #CambsNotspotter? A new initiative is asking for help from local people to gather data, in order to help improve coverage for mobiles and connection to the internet in Cambridge city centre. Led by Cambridge Ahead business group, the campaign is calling on residents, employees, students and businesses to help identify ‘notspots’ (areas of no or low connectivity) by becoming a #CambsNotspotter. The project will show where mobile phone signals, Wi-Fi and broadband access are poor, then encourage providers to take action to improve them. To be a #CambsNotspotter, all you have to do is: 1 Participate - Download the free ‘OpenSignal’ App from Google Play / App Store and get involved in identifying where there is limited ■

network coverage 2 Log in - Make use of free Wi-Fi in public buildings and open spaces in and around Cambridge by selecting ‘CambWifi’ and ‘the_cloud’ Wi-Fi networks on your device 3 Check your strength - Run an independent broadband speed test for your household or small business broadband by visiting www. thinkbroadband.com/CambsNotspotter The initiative supports the work of Connecting Cambridgeshire’s superfast broadband rollout and making smart use of technology to tackle some of the challenges facing the city as part of the Greater Cambridge City Deal. mbridge • Find out more at www.ca otter ahead.co.uk /CambsNotsp

Spring edition

Healthier Options serves up fresh thinking on food choices Unless you’re the kind of person who rigorously reads through the lists of ingredients on packets of food before preparing a meal, it can sometimes be difficult to keep track of exactly what you’re eating. Ingredients that should be avoided in large quantities – such as sugar, fat and salt – are often ‘hidden’ in processed foods or in dishes bought at restaurants and takeaways, so sometimes without realising it, you can end up with a less healthy diet than you would want. Healthier Options is a new campaign being supported by the council, that aims to encourage food businesses to provide customers with healthier food and drink, and to provide residents with information about healthier eating and how they can change their own diet for the better. Food businesses that join up to the Healthier Options scheme are encouraged to change some of the ways they prepare and serve their food, in a straightforward manner. This could mean a coffee shop using more semi-skimmed or skimmed milk in their hot drinks, restaurants grilling food instead of frying it, or even takeaways providing salt shakers with fewer holes to reduce salt consumption. Residents can get involved by encouraging their local cafes, restaurants, takeaways or food suppliers to get involved, or simply by asking what they do to provide healthier alternatives to customers. If you’re interested in playing a closer part in the campaign for healthier eating locally, you could even become a Healthier Options Ambassador. You could take part in a number of ways, such as by leaving postcards in food

businesses near where you live, or by promoting the campaign on social media. If you’re interested in getting involved, e.gov.uk/food-safety • Website: cambri@cdgam have a look at the bridge.gov.uk ail: env.health contact details, right, Em Phone: 01223 457900 and get in touch.

Come along to a council meeting We hold regular committee meetings and full council meetings which members of the public are welcome to attend. Executive councillors are responsible for making decisions about council services that affect the city, and do so with input from other councillors at scrutiny committee meetings. There are also four area committees consisting of councillors representing wards in different parts of the city, who make decisions affecting these neighbourhoods. If you’d like to have a say or raise a question at a particular meeting, please get in touch beforehand. You can also film, photograph or blog about proceedings at meetings – for more information see cambridge.gov.uk/ speaking-at-committee-meetings or call the number far right.

Wardens work to help dog owners comply with the law From April 6 this year, all dog owners are legally required to have their dogs microchipped, so their owners can be identified if they become lost. To help local dog-owners comply with the new law, the council has held a series of events open to the public at city parks and community centres where dogs could be microchipped for free. We have also launched Dog Watch, a community scheme inviting volunteer dog owners to help monitor areas where they walk their dog, and point out any issues to us. If you’d like to get involved email dogwarden@cambridge.gov.uk, phone 01223 457900 or visit cambridge.gov.uk/ dog-watch. Parts of the city where dog fouling has been a particular problem have also been targeted recently. The ‘Bag It, Bin It’ campaign saw officers hitting the streets

during a six week period at ten sites across the city that had been identified as being dog fouling ‘hot spots’. Officers spoke to dog owners to raise awareness about disposing correctly of dog mess in dog waste bins – of which there are nearly 200 in the city. During the campaign eight penalty notices were issued to dog owners for failing to clear up after their dogs. There are bins in most city parks and open spaces specifically for dog • For more information on dogs in the city, or if you’d like waste, but it can also be to report someone for failing to clear up dog waste: put in ordinary litter bins, Website: cambridge.gov.uk/dog-warde n as long as it in a bag.

Join in with a ward walkabout A series of ‘ward walkabouts’ have been introduced to target environmental issues in neighbourhoods across the city. The public walkabouts are give local residents the opportunity to meet up with a City Ranger, ward councillors and other council officers in order to tackle issues such as litter fly tipping, dog fouling and potential areas for environmental improvement project work. For details of forthcoming ward walkabouts in the summer, or to suggest a location for one keep an eye on the Events section of the council website, or contact coordinator Rina Dunning at caterina.dunning@ cambridge.gov.uk or on 01223 458084.

New company to provide more homes to rent A housing company being established by the council is set to buy 23 properties in order to let them to people registered on Home-Link, the council’s letting system. The new company will buy 23 properties at two new-build housing developments, in Water Lane and Aylesborough Close, which are due to be completed in March. They will be let at more affordable rates than tenants would get on the open market. The properties will be managed by Town Hall Lettings, a not-for-profit lettings agency which was initially established by five local councils to help house people at risk of homelessness. For more information visit cambridge.gov.uk/housing or call 01223 457918.
