  • Balsham Parish Council Bus Reform Proposal October 2020 1
    Balsham Parish Council Bus Reform Proposal October 2020 1. Introduction According to the 2011 Census, Balsham has a population of over 1,591. It has been identified as the least accessible ward in South Cambridge with a lack of public transport as well as the length of time it takes to access work, education, health, leisure and social activities. Around 2012, Stagecoach cut the 16a service to one bus per day. After some discussions, the timetable was adjusted so the service was to run 15 minutes earlier ensuring commuters would arrive at work on time and 25 minutes later in the afternoon. This adjustment helped commuters in the morning but not coming back home in the evenings. Just after 16a service was cut, the Big Green Bus shuttle service, the number 19, started running services during the day between Haverhill, Burrough Green, Balsham and Linton with the aim to provide transport links between towns and villages. The Parish Council recognises Balsham and the surrounding villages have the poorest public transport links with current services not working for the majority of residents. As a consequence, a survey and petition was organised at the end of 2019 to obtain information to find out if residents use the current service, how it is used, what the issues are, would a regular, reliable service be beneficial and what type of service is needed. 2. Overview Stagecoach 16a Service; There is only one bus service through the village, Stagecoach’s 16a service originating from Great Thurlow. The earliest it departs Balsham is 7.35am and leaves Cambridge at 4.40pm.

    These notes describe a major source of Cambridgeshire history that you can make use of, totally free, from your computer or tablet. Bit.ly/CambsCollection Cambridgeshire History on Your Computer / My Library on Your Laptop B Mike Petty For over 50 years people have helped me record the story of Cambridgeshire. They have shared their knowledge, their memories, pictures and publications. For nearly 35 years I was privileged to add these to the Cambridgeshire Collection at Cambridge Central Library, that wonderful resource established in 1855 with its books, pictures, maps, ephemera and newspaper files which is open to all. Since then I have continued to seek out Cambridgeshire information and have endeavoured to share my scant knowledge through books, talks and some 30 years of weekly and daily newspaper articles. Now I have published much of that information online for all to download and use. It is hosted on the Internet Archive website, a non-profit library of millions of free books, movies, software, music, websites, and more - www.Archive.org My own page is https://archive.org/search.phpY This is a lot to remember but the BBC Who Do You Think You Are Magazine created a shortcut which I am happy to use. Just Google bit.ly/CambsCollection There are a lot of items on the site. They include: The Albatross Inheritance: local studies libraries, by Mike Petty This detailed study of the history and arrangement of the Cambridgeshire Collection with thoughts on its future was published in Library Management, vol.6, 1985.
