Draft Greater Cambridge Local Plan: Consultation now open

/in /by

Cambridge City Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council are working together to create the first joint Local Plan for Greater Cambridge.

We are getting in touch to let you know that public consultation on the draft Local Plan is now open. It runs until 5pm on Friday 30 January 2026.

The Local Plan sets out how the area should develop up to 2045 and beyond, including where sites for new homes, jobs and infrastructure will go and what these places should be like. Our Plan has been informed by the thousands of comments we have received through several stages of public consultation so far.

This consultation is your opportunity to help shape the Plan, and we would like to encourage anyone with an interest in the future of the Greater Cambridge area to take part. Feedback from this consultation will help shape the final version of the Plan, which will be consulted on for a final time next year before it is submitted to Government to be examined.

/in /by

This is a request for winter volunteers for this winter season 2025-2026.

We would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to all the volunteers that took part in our Community Gritting Scheme last winter.

For those hearing about the Community Gritting Scheme for the first time, this is a scheme where Local volunteers can help to keep their community moving in freezing weather. Under this scheme, the parish or town council decides on specific routes in their area which are important to the local community and agrees them with the county council.

If you are a parish or town council looking to join the scheme, please send your completed form by 31st October 2025.  The end of October deadline is to ensure we can order any equipment your volunteers will need.

We will need a form for each of your volunteers, including those who have volunteered before.  The form is required annually ensure our health and safety standards are being met.

See below for a link to the Community Gritting registration form:
