Boreham Quaternary Palaeoenvironments Group, Department of Geography, University of Cambridge, Downing Place, Cambridge CB2 3EN, United Kingdom Email: [email protected] Manuscript received: May 2011, accepted: September 2012 Abstract The geology of the Wicken Vision Area in the lower Cam valley is described with reference to a stacked series of ten cross-sections through Holocene and Pleistocene deposits, and Cretaceous/Jurassic bedrock across the region. A detailed cross-section through a Holocene palaeochannel, with radiocarbon dating and pollen analyses is also presented. The structural geology of the bedrock and the stratigraphic arrangement of the Pleistocene and Holocene deposits are used to describe landscape development for the area. This study offers a new understanding of the stratigraphy and context of the Holocene, Weichselian and earlier Pleistocene deposits of the lower Cam valley, and provides a unique view of sediment architecture in valley-fill sediments at the fen edge. Keywords: Holocene, Weichselian, Pleistocene, Cam valley, Wicken Vision Introduction simplistic description masks a wealth of geological complexity in the district. This paper aims to describe the lithostratigraphy and sediment The area included in this study stretches from North Fen, architecture of Holocene, Weichselian and earlier Pleistocene Upware and Wicken Fen in the north, to Reach, Swaffham deposits in the transitional area between the River Cam valley Bulbeck and Lode in the east, Fen Ditton to the south, and and southern Fenland by adding new geological observations Milton, Horningsea and Waterbeach to the west (Fig. 1).

  • Stow Cum Quy Fen Pond Survey
    Stow Cum Quy Fen pond survey A report for the Freshwater Habitats Trust July 2017 (Version 2) 1. Introduction Stow-cum-Quy Fen Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) covers 29.6 hectares and is located 7.5 km north-east of the centre of Cambridge. It features a number of ponds, the largest being a coprolite pit from which phosphate-rich deposits were excavated in the mid to late 19th century for fertiliser (O’Connor, 2001 & 2011). Originally believed to be fossilised dinosaur dung, the ‘coprolite’ seams were in fact phosphatic nodules derived from the remains of marine molluscs, cephalopods and other organisms deposited during the Jurassic (Cambridgeshire Archaeology Field Group, 2015). The elongate shape of some smaller ponds suggests that these too originated as coprolite pits but others are likely to be stock watering ponds. This survey was commissioned by the Freshwater Habitats Trust as part of the Flagship Ponds project. Fieldwork for was undertaken by Jonathan Graham (botanical survey) and Martin Hammond (invertebrates) on 17th May 2017. This was followed by a second visit on 21st June 2017 to seek out additional species. 2. Survey methods Eight ponds (refer to location map below) were surveyed using PSYM (Predictive System for Multimetrics), the standard methodology for evaluating the ecological quality of ponds and small lakes (Environment Agency, 2002). A PSYM survey involves: Obtaining environmental data such as pond area, altitude, grid reference, substrate composition, cover of emergent vegetation, degree of shade, accessibility to livestock and water pH Collecting a sample of aquatic macro-invertebrates using a standard protocol (three minutes’ netting divided equally between each ‘meso-habitat’ within the pond basin, plus one minute searching the water surface and submerged debris) Recording wetland plants PSYM generates six ‘metrics’ (measurements) representing important indicators of ecological quality.

We are not part of government or any political party. We are accountable to Parliament through a committee of MPs chaired by the Speaker of the House of Commons. Our main role is to carry out electoral reviews of local authorities throughout England. Electoral review An electoral review examines and proposes new electoral arrangements for a local authority. A local authority’s electoral arrangements decide: How many councillors are needed How many wards or electoral divisions should there be, where are their boundaries and what should they be called How many councillors should represent each ward or division Why South Cambridgeshire? We are conducting an electoral review of South Cambridgeshire District Council as the Council currently has high levels of electoral inequality where some councillors represent many more or many fewer voters than others. This means that the value of each vote in district council elections varies depending on where you live in South Cambridgeshire. Overall, 18% of wards currently have a variance of more than 10% from the average for the city, and one ward (Histon & Impington) has a variance of more than 30% from the average.

Public Forum 93 A resident brought it to the attention of the Council that he was involved in the objection to the relocation of the water treatment works to Honey Hill when it was made before and offered his help again. It was reported the Save Honey Hill action group, formed in 2006, has reformed. 94 The Minutes of the last Parish Council meeting held on Monday 6th July 2020 were agreed to be a true record of the meeting. ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION To consider Anglian Water’s proposal to relocate its Cambridge Waste Water Treatment 95 Plant to one of three potential relocation sites; two of the them are located between the villages of Milton, Impington and Landbeach and the third between the villages of Fen Ditton, Horningsea and Stow-cum-Quy. Clerk & It was agreed that the Council would oppose the development on all three sites for the Chair to following reason: all three sites are on greenbelt land highlighting that the principle of draft greenbelt land is that it has to be kept “open”. response It was resolved to include that the Council would specifically oppose the site at Honey and then Hill for the following reasons: circulate to Honey Hill would be technically difficult to house a water treatment works; Councillors Honey Hill site would introduce industrialisation in undeveloped land in close proximity for to the Wicken Fen Vision area as well as creating a visual intrusion and detriment to the comment amenity value.
