The application sets out an overall idea of what might be built, together with details of the access to the site. The new village is expected to have approximately 3,500 homes, a new village centre, two new primary schools, a new secondary school and a dedicated public transport route through it.

The event took place at Swavesey Village College, which also provided a number of young volunteers for the day. Children aged between eight and 16 took part in the activities that were tailored to suit a range of different mental and physical disabilities. The events included sprinting, speed bounce, seated throw, triple jump and long jump. Cllr Hazel Smith, Lead Cabinet Member for Health and Wellbeing, said:
“I loved seeing the children having so much fun. You could see that they put their heart and soul into the events and everyone was smiling and making new friends. When some of the children taking part were asked what their favourite part was, one said with a grin, everything.”
In true Paralympic style, medals Cllr Hazel Smith joined children were given out to those who for part of the event excelled in the individual sprint events. Certificates were also handed out to those that exhibited the core principles of the Paralympics and Olympics, including determination, inspiration, courage, friendship and respect. We’d like to also say a special thank you to our 16 young volunteers from Swavesey Village College who gave up their morning to run all the events and encourage the people taking part.
