  • Going for Gold – the South Cambridgeshire Story
    Going for gold The South Cambridgeshire story Written by Kevin Wilkins March 2019 Going for gold Foreword Local government is the backbone of our party, and from Cornwall to Eastleigh, Eastbourne to South Lakeland, with directly elected Mayors in Bedford and Watford, Liberal Democrats are making a real difference in councils across the country. So I was delighted to be asked to write this foreword for one of the latest to join that group of Liberal Democrat Jo Swinson MP CBE councils, South Cambridgeshire. Deputy Leader Liberal Democrats Every council is different, and their story is individual to them. It’s important that we learn what works and what doesn’t, and always be willing to tell our story so others can learn. Good practice booklets like this one produced by South Cambridgeshire Liberal Democrats and the Liberal Democrat Group at the Local Government Association are tremendously useful. 2 This guide joins a long list of publications that they have produced promoting the successes of our local government base in places as varied as Liverpool, Watford and, more recently, Bedford. Encouraging more women to stand for public office is a campaign I hold close to my heart. It is wonderful to see a group of 30 Liberal Democrat councillors led by Councillor Bridget Smith, a worthy addition to a growing number of Liberal Democrat women group and council leaders such as Councillor Liz Green (Kingston Upon Thames), Councillor Sara Bedford (Three Rivers) Councillor Val Keitch (South Somerset), Councillor Ruth Dombey (Sutton), and Councillor Aileen Morton (Argyll and Bute) South Cambridgeshire Liberal Democrats are leading the way in embedding nature capital into all of their operations, policies and partnerships, focusing on meeting the housing needs of all their residents, and in dramatically raising the bar for local government involvement in regional economic development.

  • Oakington Transport Note
    NORTHSTOWE Phase 3A Oakington Transport Technical Note January 2021 Northstowe Phase 3A: Southern Access Road East and Oakington Traffic Impacts This note provides an overview of the background to the proposals for the Southern Access Road East (SARE) as part of the delivery of Northstowe Phase 3. This covers the purpose of the SARE, the background includes design issues and traffic impacts. The note seeks to respond to the comments made by Oakington and Westwick Parish Council and local residents. Northstowe Phase 3A is an outline planning application and seeks permission for the principle of development. It does not contain detailed design proposals and the SARE has not been designed in detail at this stage although the outline planning application does identify a corridor for the line of the new road (see Movement and Access Parameter Plan) and an indicative design has been prepared to support the Transport Assessment. The indicative design shows a possible design for the new road. The Purpose of the SARE Whilst public transport and cycling will be realistic travel choices for future residents of Northstowe, transport modelling to support the Northstowe Area Action Plan (NAAP) in 2007, the Phase 2 application in 2014 and the Phase 3A outline planning application all indicated that a new link from Northstowe to the south east would be required for later phases of Northstowe. This is in addition to a link to an improved Hatton’s Road and the A14 Bar Hill junction (now being constructed as the Southern Access Road West). The NAAP in 2007 set out broad principles and included reference to “new road from the A14 or its parallel distributor road in the vicinity of the existing Dry Drayton junction into the southern end of Northstowe”.
