Many of you will have seen coverage in the press over the last few months regarding the introduction of a charging regime for vehicles using the sites. Park and Ride is important for many people in getting to Cambridge City centre. Whilst County Councillors, when making the decision, made it clear they would prefer to keep the sites free, given the financial challenges facing the Council and the fact that the sites cost £1m a year to run, they felt this is the right way forward. Use of Park and Ride still compares very favourably with parking in Cambridge itself and it will remain that way. In light of the continuing financial situation it is necessary to look at all aspects of Council services to ensure we maximise our income whilst at the same time retaining efficient and cost effective services to the public. All vehicles parking at any of the 5 Park & Ride sites in Cambridge will have a 1 hour free period. This will enable people to drop-off and pick-up for free, to allow for customers of the John Lewis distribution centre based at Trumpington to pick up their purchases for free, and for the parents to drop and pick up their children at the sites for the various Kiss & Ride school minibus services. Any vehicles staying for more than 1 hour will be liable for a £1 charge. This ticket will be purchased from ticket machines outside the main buildings on the sites. The ticket can be purchased at the same time as a ticket for bus travel bus and does not need to be displayed in the vehicle. The £1 ticket will allow for the parking of one vehicle for up to 18 hours. You will note that the original limit was set at 12 hours. Following valuable feedback from customers this time limit has been extended to cater for shift workers and those wishing to benefit from late night shopping in the City. Should the customer wish to park for longer there is a set tariff of charging as follows: Between 18 and 24 hours £10 Between 24 and 48 hours £20 Between 48 and 72 hours £30 72 hours is the maximum permitted stay. Discounts are available for those wishing to purchase parking in advance on-line or via a mobile phone. The prices for between 1 and 18 hours parking are as follows: Weekly £5 (up to 7 days) 4 Weekly £18 Annual £230 The current timetable for the introduction of the new system will see the charges being introduced during mid May 2014. If for any reason the program is amended, this will be communicated to members of the public. Yours sincerely Campbell Ross-Bain Bus Operations & Facilities Manager 10th March 2014 Consultative Committee Meeting – Wednesday 16th April 2014 You are invited to the next meeting of the Consultative Committee: this will commence at 7.00pm on 16th April 2014 at the clubhouse of the Cambridge Gliding Centre (CGC).

  • ABOUT LONGSTOWE Longstowe Is a Civil Parish of Some 86 Homes And
    ABOUT LONGSTOWE Longstowe is a civil parish of some 86 homes and almost 200 residents. Situated to the west of the A1198 and along the B1046 towards the Gransdens. Some 10 miles west of Cambridge City, it is bordered by Huntingdon in the north and Royston to the south and neighbours Bourn, Caxton, Arrington and the Gransdens. Longstowe gave its name to the Hundred of Stowe and its very name means ‘Village in the deeps’. In Domesday it had but 17 persons (1086). It was mainly woods, heath and scrub land. Most of this had been cut down by the 1300’s. Longstowe had to maintain two foot soldiers for the 100years war in the eleventh century. The parish has an area of 1537 acres and ranges in height from 50 metres above sea level in the east to 79 metres in the South West. The soil is heavy with clay over gault; there was a definite lack of good water. It mostly came from odd ponds and dips situated along the High Street. Farming was concentrated in three ‘open’ fields and remained so until inclosure in 1799. The living was owned by Ramsey Abbey, who also administered the Hospital of St Mary run by nuns and situated by the old Fox Inn crossing (A1198/B1046) still known as Nun’s Close. Its square moat can just be made out today. The Church was originally thatched and the Tower built of Carrstone (local to the area). Over the centuries the church fell into disrepair – once it caught fire but was always replaced.

MATTERS ARISING Robert Welford, Chief Flying Instructor of the gliding club, joined the meeting to provide an update on the status of the report into the mid-air collision on the 18 th May 2014 near Great Gransden. Robert reported that the club was keen that there be a full investigation of the accident so that lessons could be learnt and eventually one was carried out by the British Gliding Association. A draft report has been prepared but its publication has been delayed as one of the parties involved disputed the findings and referred the matter to the AAIB (Air Accidents Investigation Branch). An amended final report is expected to be published shortly. When it is, it will be circulated to all local parish councils. Robert explained that the accident occurred when two gliders, both from the club, were climbing in a thermal near Great Gransden. The single seat Discus was initially lower than the two seat Arcus but the Discus was climbing more quickly and caught up with the other when both aircraft were at a height of 2600 feet.
