  • South Cambridgeshire District Council – Harston & Comberton Ward Report to Haslingfield Parish Council July 2021
    South Cambridgeshire District Council – Harston & Comberton Ward Report to Haslingfield Parish Council July 2021 Covid Update Rates of Covid-19 in Cambridgeshire have risen sharply and they continue to rise. At the time of writing, there are 92 cases per 100,000 across Cambridgeshire, which is an 85 increase on last week. There is particular concern about the rising rates of Covid-19 in Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire. Again at the time of writing, there are 216 cases per 100,000 in Cambridge and 101 cases in South Cambridgeshire, with most cases being seen in 18 to 30-year-olds. Hospital admissions remain fairly low and there has been one death in the past month. What we are seeing in parts of Cambridgeshire is very similar to the rest of the country, in that the Delta variant, which we know to be much easier to pass on, is accounting for the rise in cases of Covid-19. There is a big push to promote testing amongst the 18-30 year olds, including people without symptoms, as you are no doubt aware the virus can spread without any symptoms showing. Alongside testing there is a race against time to ensure as many people as possible take up their first and second doses of vaccine before restrictions are lifted on the 19th July. The lifting of restrictions could further fuel the spread of the virus, exposing people at high risk, to infection. Cambridge South-West Travel Hub We understand the plans for the Cambridge South West Travel Hub go before the County Council Planning Committee on 29th July.

  • South Cambridgeshire District Council – Harston & Comberton Ward Report to Harlton Parish Council May 2019
    South Cambridgeshire District Council – Harston & Comberton Ward Report to Harlton Parish Council May 2019 Annual review It has now been a year since we were elected as members to South Cambridgeshire District Council and the control of the council shifted from Conservative to Liberal Democrat. So what has the Liberal Democrat-led South Cambridgeshire District Council been up to in the last year? Governance The Liberal Democrats won control of the Council in May 2018. We are now a 30-strong group out of 45 councillors (previously 14). There are 11 Conservatives, 2 Independents and 2 Labour. We appointed an Independent Councillor as Council Chair; for good governance, we appointed a Conservative as Chair of the important Scrutiny and Overview Committee. Our seven-strong cabinet is made up of four women and three men. New Business Plan Following public consultation, our new Business Plan covering 2019 to 2024 was published which changes the direction of the Council. We are committed to providing homes that are truly affordable for everyone to live in; to help local businesses to grow; to be green to our core; and to put customers at the centre of everything we do as a modern and caring council. Check out the new Business Plan at: www.scambs.gov.uk/businessplan Re-organising the Council Studies of other district councils showed South Cambridgeshire had fallen behind in the use of new technology and working practices essential to run a modern council. A review of the council recommended what would need to change to improve business delivery (focussing on business improvement, not cost-cutting).
