    My ref: A428 scheme Your ref: Date: 4th April 2018 Contact: Councillor Ian Bates Telephone: 01223 706398 E Mail: [email protected] Economy, Transport and Environment Box No SH1102 Mr David Abbott Highways England Shire Hall Castle Hill Woodlands Cambridge Manton Lane CB3 0AP Bedford MK41 7LW Dear Mr Abbot Re: A428 scheme and its importance in supporting immediate development opportunities in Cambridgeshire On behalf of the Cambridgeshire County Council Economy and Environment Committee, I write to express the importance of the timely delivery of the Highways England (HE) proposal to provide a dual carriageway on the A428 between Black Cat roundabout and Caxton Gibbet and to improve the Black Cat roundabout. This letter follows the Economy and Environment Committee’s consideration of the Wintringham Park development proposals, during which a strong emphasis was placed on the importance of the A428 improvements. The A428 is a key route in an area of the country with considerable planned growth in housing and employment, including the Saint Neots Eastern Expansion (Loves Farm and Wintringham Park), new communities at Cambourne and Bourn, potential expansion of the West Cambridge site, and indeed growth beyond the corridor in Cambridge City and South Cambs that the A428 connects to (such as the Northern Fringe via the A14). Development proposals are advancing now, and assume the future delivery of this committed scheme. It is essential that this strategic highways infrastructure is in place to support their delivery. Wider population and employment growth proposals should also be noted outside of Cambridgeshire, including the significant expansion of Milton Keynes, substantial growth set out in Central Bedfordshire’s five year plan, and major housing growth programmed in Bedford.

  • Unequal Before the Law?
    SJ_Justice Gap June 2011_OFC_spine and OBC:Layout 1 06/06/2011 08:25 Page 1 SOLICITORS JOURNAL Justice Gap series Unequal Unequal before the law? The future of legal aid before the law? The future of legal aid he Justice Gap refers to the increasing section of the public too poor to afford Ta lawyer and not poor enough to qualify for legal aid. At the heart of any notion of a decent society is not only that we have rights and protections under the law but that we can enforce those rights and rely upon those protections if needed. To that end, the Attlee government introduced our system of legal aid in 1949 as a fundamental building block of the welfare state. The architects of that welfare state decreed that legal aid shouldn’t be restricted to those people ‘normally classed as poor’ but should also include those of ‘small or moderate means’. Something has gone wrong. That scheme is in danger of being reduced to a minority sink service. Eligibility for legal aid dropped from 80 per cent of the population in Attlee’s day to less than one in three of us. This publication is part of a series co produced by Jures and Solicitors Journal about closing the justice gap. Michael Mansfield QC ures (pronounced 'JOOR-REZ') is a new independent research company and thinktank dedicated to Jthe legal services market. Our aim is to be a leading source of considered, independent-minded and thought-provoking commentary on the law in a way that informs and influences debate within the profession and beyond.

  • Brexit Lexicon: Update
    November 26, 2018 Brexit Lexicon: Update As an aid to those trying to keep track of the moving pieces, we set out below the key concepts and players in a slightly different format. This update reflects events up through November 25th, the date on which the draft Withdrawal Agreement and the draft Political Declaration were agreed at a political level. Acquis: the body of common rights and obligations that are binding on all EU member states based on EU treaties, EU legislation, ECJ case law, declarations and resolutions adopted by the EU; measures relating to the common foreign and security policy; measures relating to justice and home affairs and international agreements concluded by the EU and third countries. Alignment: the Joint Report states that “[i]n the absence of agreed solutions, the United Kingdom will maintain full alignment with those rules of the Internal Market and the Customs Union which, now or in the future, support North-South cooperation, the all-island economy and the protection of the [Good Friday Agreement].” There continues to be significant disagreement over what this means. It appears to be a unilateral commitment by the UK if there is no agreement on the future of the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland, either because any Withdrawal Agreement fails to address the issue or there is no agreement. The commitment appears to be consistent with some aspects of the single market, although it raises the prospect that the commitment would apply to the entire UK and not just to Northern Ireland; the agreement with the DUP is that in no case would alignment apply only to Northern Ireland.
