Dear residents,
For information, Mr Phil Swann (Director Shared Intelligence) has been commissioned by the Greater Cambridge Partnership to manage an independent audit of the project.
His first step is to commission an independent transport expert to carry out the review. The expert’s first task will be to prepare a statement of the key constraints and assumptions which underpin the selection of the preferred route. He will publish the statement together with an invitation to local representative groups to submit representations to the audit on the constraints and assumptions.
In the meantime if local representative groups wish to ensure that previously submitted evidence is drawn to the attention of the transport expert, then please let Mr Swann know.
Mr Phil Swann can be contacted via e-mail at C2Caudit@sharedintelligence.net

Dear residents,
Please see information below pertaining to priority groups for vaccinations:
The NHS has now opened up access to the COVID vaccine to staff and volunteers from community groups currently directly working or having contact with people in the priority groups outlined here:
Priority Groups for Vaccination
We are working with the NHS on the identifying community groups to receive the COVID vaccine and will be your point of contact, if you believe your staff and/or volunteers meet the eligibility criteria please confirm and we will send you details of how to book appointments.
At this point there is no restriction on numbers of vaccinations available, with plenty of appointments available this week, so we urge you to respond immediately.
If you fit within the above, please contact the Parish Council through the Clerk.

Update 18/01/2021
Dear residents,
The Parish Council received an update about the above, from The Greater Cambridge Local Plan team, as per below:
“As you are aware, over 650 sites were submitted to us through the ‘Call for Sites’ for consideration as part of developing the new Greater Cambridge Local Plan.
The sites submitted are currently being assessed by officers against a rigorous methodology, as part of the Housing and Employment Land Availability Assessment. We gather topical information about the sites from sources including the Environment Agency, Natural England, the local highways authority, the Councils’ Environmental Health teams, Historic England and other bodies.
We would now like to give you the opportunity to supplement our information gathering with any knowledge you may hold about any of the submitted sites in your Parish or area covered by your Association.
It is not compulsory in any way to provide this additional information at this point in time and you may wish to wait to read and comment on our assessments at the next stage of plan-making, when we will present our proposed list of sites to take forward through the Local Plan.
….the survey is only open to Parish Councils and Residents Associations…to be completed by 5pm on 1 March 2021”
If you have any comments, queries about the above, please contact the Clerk.
Dear Village Resident,
It seems to have been a long time since our last update to residents about the new Community Centre but throughout the pandemic the work has been progressing and we are now at a point where we can ask the architects to seek planning permission for the project.
We have had several Zoom meetings with the architects to adapt and refine the plans displayed at our last public meeting. See the latest plans of the proposed building and a few key things that have happened since our last public meeting and display are represented below. An elevation of this drawing will be available in a few weeks and will be circulated later.
As a group we are also pursuing ways to make The Community Centre as eco-friendly as possible and are looking for grants towards helping to achieve this goal.
We look forward to hearing your views and opinions which can be sent to: Alan.west10@btinternet.com
Can we also take this time to wish you all a Happy, Healthy and Covid-free New Year.
With best wishes
HCCWG

Dear all,
Please find information below from the South Cambridgeshire New Build team:
The New build Team at South Cambs District Council is shortly to acquire new affordable homes from Hill Residential at Grace Crescent Hardwick.
In total 27 rented and 12 shared ownership properties will be acquired by SCDC and will be transferred to them as they are completed – in four phases between 29 January 2021 and Summer 2021.
If there are any residents who would be interested in any of the homes, please see the next action steps to take.
https://www.home-link.org.uk/choice/
For the shared ownership homes, they should email sales@domovohomes.co.uk
Hill have proposed the development of up to 100 new houses to be situated on land just west of Grace Crescent. Of the 100 new homes 40% will be designated as affordable and will be available as either shared ownership or affordable rent. The proposals are initial and it is the intention of Hill to submit an outline planning application in July.
The developers have set up a dedicated website where local residents can learn more about their proposals and give feedback. You can visit the site at www.gracecrescentland.co.uk
