Introduction and background 1.1 Work on preparing the Foxton Neighbourhood Plan (NP) started in autumn 2015. The parish council became increasingly concerned with the significant development pressure on the parish, caused by the lack of a Local Plan and the growth targets of the Greater Cambridge area. The village had produced a Village Plan in 2011 and the intention was to expand and update that work to reflect the objectives of neighbourhood planning. The Neighbourhood Area, which follows the parish boundary, was designated on 17 November 2015 by South Cambridgeshire District Council (SCDC). Foxton Parish Council (FPC) established a working group to take forward the process. This group included villagers with different relevant skills and representation across interest groups, as well as three councillors, including the FPC Chair. 1.2 This Consultation Statement has been prepared to fulfil the legal obligations of the Neighbourhood Plan Regulations 2012. Section 15(2), part 5 of the Regulations sets out what a Consultation Statement should contain: (a) Contains details of the persons and bodies who were consulted about the proposed neighbourhood development plan; (b) Explains how they were consulted; (c) Summarises the main issues and concerns raised by the persons consulted; (d) Describes how these issues and concerns have been considered and, where relevant, addressed in the proposed neighbourhood development plan. 1.3 Community consultation has been a key priority for the NP working group from its inception in autumn 2015. Foxton is a relatively small rural village community with <1500 residents, so all three major consultations involved leaflet/questionnaire drops to all c.550 households and businesses in Foxton parish. 1.4 Timing of the consultations was carefully considered to maximise potential interest and responses, and to coincide with regular and annual village events. The first stage was raising awareness of what a neighbourhood plan is and how it could benefit Foxton. This took place at various times throughout 2016. Also in 2016, a survey of businesses in Foxton was carried out. The results from this feedback informed the first of two all-household questionnaires on particular aspects of living in Foxton. The questionnaire consultation took place in February 2017, and the local community was also involved in gathering evidence for the Landscape Character Assessment in summer 2017. 1 1.5 Different methods were tried, tested and refined as the neighbourhood planning work progressed. For example, it became clear from the response to the 2017 questionnaire (predominantly from older residents) that we needed to engage the younger residents, especially families, in the process in order to broaden the age range of respondents. We also increasingly used social media and the village primary school to share information and promote consultation activities. 1.6 A colourful PowerPoint summarising the results from the 2017 all-household questionnaire was available to all on the neighbourhood plan page of the parish council website. The results from the second questionnaire in 2018 (as described in chapter 4) was shared with residents at the 2018 Village Show display and included in the pre-submission Consultation Draft as easy to understand coloured bar graphs and summary text. 2. Consultation activities in 2016: evidence-gathering and awareness raising 2.1 2016 was spent gathering evidence and raising awareness of the neighbourhood plan process. This was done through a launch event in the village hall in February 2016, attended by over 50 households, some 10 per cent of the village. In consultation terms, this attendance was encouraging. The focus was on explaining how a neighbourhood plan was different to the Village Plan prepared a few years before, asking people to record on post-its their main issues of interest and concern, and also encouraging people to join the working group. Two people volunteered their skills and time. The topics that generated the most comments were transport and employment/local services with 23 post-its filled in, many with multiple comments. The same transport issues as previously were highlighted although the need for a station car park and parking generally in the village were mentioned most. There was good support for the shop and pub with helpful suggestions on potential improvements and several people mentioned the idea of a tea room/café for the village. Housing and community services generated 18 and 17 post-its respectively, mostly reiterating well-known concerns. There was some support for small infill development, including for old people, perhaps on the Cambridgeshire County Council (CCC) old school site. Sport, recreation and footpaths received the least number of post-it comments (nine), with more footpaths and pavement resurfacing the two main topics. Green projects attracted 13 post-its with trees/woodlands mentioned most, especially the need to manage the West Hill community woodland. A full report of all the comments is given in Appendix 1, together with background to the consultation. 2 2.2 A dedicated website was set up with information from the launch event and a comments box. These largely mirrored the launch event’s findings. 2.3 There was also a small manned display at various village events through the spring and summer: the annual Plant Swap/WI coffee morning and the annual Foxton Fun Day. At these events, display material from the launch summarising the purpose of a neighbourhood plan was on show. People who spoke to members of the working group were asked to record their issues on post-its and, as at the launch, put a coloured dot on where in the village they live, to give us an idea of locational spread. The total number of dots collected from the various events was >80, with a good distribution across the different roads in the parish. Figure 1: 2016 launch event 2.4 A survey of local businesses with established premises was carried out in summer 2016, in order to inform the NP Working Group about their impact, footprint, issues and interaction with the village, and this was subsequently updated in 2018. The results from this survey are given in Appendix 2. The survey questionnaire (see Appendix 2) consisting of over 20 questions was introduced to the businesses with a letter which explained the purpose of the neighbourhood plan and why a business owner or manager should participate. The survey was sent to

By the time the newsletter was delivered, the new timetable had been introduced – and, oh dear, what a mess! An adjacent article illustrates the scale of disruption experienced at three stations served by Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR). Formal investigations are underway to find out what happened but it is clear that there are lessons to be learnt in all parts of the rail industry. Firstly, the Government needs to set realistic franchise specifications and ensure that it makes decisions in a timely way — both these aspects were lacking in the GTR case.

  • Greater Cambridge Partnership Foxton Travel Hub Consultation Response from the Meldreth, Shepreth and Foxton Community Rail Partnership
    Greater Cambridge Partnership Foxton Travel Hub Consultation Response from the Meldreth, Shepreth and Foxton Community Rail Partnership About the Meldreth, Shepreth and Foxton Community Rail Partnership The Meldreth, Shepreth and Foxton Community Rail Partnership, which incorporates the Meldreth, Shepreth and Foxton Rail User Group was launched in 2013, and is supported by Cambridgeshire County Council, South Cambridgeshire District Council, Network Rail, Govia Thameslink Railway, the Parish Councils of Meldreth, Melbourn, Shepreth, Foxton and Barrington, local businesses and local schools. The aims of the Meldreth, Shepreth and Foxton Community Rail Partnership include: • To recognise the key role of rail to the local community and to promote it as a sustainable mode of transport. • To improve and enhance the station environments and promote green projects. • To support the initiatives developed jointly with the train operating company and Cambridgeshire County Council in integrated travel plans. In line with the core themes of the Department for Transport’s Community Rail Development Strategy, one of our core activities is “Providing a voice for the community”, and it is in this spirit that we are responding to the Greater Cambridge Partnership Consultation on the Foxton Travel Hub. About this Document In April 2019, Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) announced the Passenger Benefit Fund which allowed £15m to be spent on improvements to the fabric of stations which had been affected by the May 2018 timetable problems. The Meldreth, Shepreth and Foxton Community Rail Partnership carried out a consultation with local rail users at that time in order to prepare our response to GTR. The lack of both cycle and car parking at Foxton Station was identified during that consultation.

  • Audit of Meldreth, Shepreth and Foxton Stations and Nearby Village Settlements in Relation to Those Stations
    Audit of Meldreth, Shepreth and Foxton stations and nearby village settlements in relation to those stations The aim of the audit is to enable the Meldreth Shepreth Foxton Community Rail Partnership to have a clearer understanding of how the stations cope with existing traffic levels; how the stations may cope with considerably more traffic in the future; how more users can be attracted to the three stations to improve the sustainability of travel in the district. There is no doubt that the outcome of the Greater Cambridge City Deal plus the predicted new train service level/ new trains to be provided by Thameslink in 2018 will further drive growth. Footfall recorded for the year ending 2014 show a footfall at: Meldreth 267,218 +29.3% since 2010 +9.7% in 2015 Shepreth 105,802 +33.8% since 2010 +11.4% in 2015 Foxton 94,080 +30.5% since 2010 +7.9% in 2015 Total 467,100 This figure shows that the three stations as providing a considerable service to the district. The normal train service on 'Weekdays' is every 30 minutes at the peak travel to work times morning and evening in each direction and at 60 minute intervals at all other times. On Saturday, Sunday, Public Holidays, the train service is at 60 minute intervals. Fast trains also pass through the station non-stop at frequent intervals. The audit/survey of the station and its environs took place on Friday March 25th 2016. This day being a Public Holiday, the train operator was running a 'Saturday Service'. Each station consists of an up and down platform.
