SAY NO TO 25,000-HOME NEW TOWN ON YOUR DOORSTEP SIGN MY PETITION Good afternoon, Yesterday, hundreds of people tuned in to my public meeting to discuss their opposition to Thakeham's proposed 25,000-home new town on land around Barrington, Bassingbourn-cum-Kneesworth, Foxton, Meldreth, Melbourn, Orwell, Shepreth, Whaddon and Wimpole. Not one person spoke in favour. Our community has made its opinions clear - we do not want this development. To put this proposal in context, it would represent a settlement half the size of Cambridge City and more than twice the size of Northstowe, already the largest new town to be built in England in the last 50 years. This battle is far from over. Thakeham has made it clear they will be submitting a proposal to the Greater Cambridge Local Plan, a document that will guide South Cambridgeshire District Council's planning policy for years to come. I want to draw a line in the sand, letting both Thakeham and the councillors who will have to vote on that Local Plan know residents do not want such an enormous development. That is why I have launched a petition on my website, to be delivered to the South Cambs District Council on Wednesday 31 March, asking them to oppose any such inclusion. Click here to sign the petition today. Thank you to everyone who attended yesterday's public meeting and to those who have already signed. If you have not, please do click the links below to view the meeting in full. I very much hope you feel able to support this petition, letting your local representatives know how many people oppose this unsustainable development. Yours sincerely, Anthony Browne MP for South Cambridgeshire CLICK HERE TO SHARE OUR FACEBOOK POST AND TO LET YOUR NEIGHBOURS KNOW HOW TO HAVE THEIR SAY ON THIS DEVELOPMENT If you missed the public meeting and would be interested in hearing more, please follow the links below .

Lent Term 2007
CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY RAMBLING CLUB Lent Term 2007 Welcome back to the Rambling Club. Once again, we invite you to leave the city for a few hours this term, and enjoy the surrounding countryside with us. The pace of our walks is generally easy, as our main aim is to relax and appreciate the local scenery and villages, and we have tried to provide a mixture of walks of different lengths. We usually stop at a village pub en route, but you should bring a packed lunch and a drink anyway as occasionally a walk doesn’t pass a pub, or we find that a pub is closed. Strong boots and waterproof clothing are also recommended. Your only expense is the bus or train fare (given below), plus our £1 annual membership fee. There is no need to sign up in advance to join any of this term’s walks – just turn up at the time and place given. Our meeting points are: Bus/Coach: At the corner of Drummer Street and Emmanuel Street. Train: In the main hall of Cambridge Railway Station. Saturday 20th January: "Swanning around Swavesey" Swavesey Circular 9 miles Contact: Steven For the first walk of term we head to the village of Swavesey, situated close to the River Ouse about 10 miles north-west of Cambridge. From here we'll explore the lakes and waterways of the nearby Fen Drayton Nature Reserve before visiting the village of Fenstanton. After lunch we'll walk along part of the River Ouse on our way back towards Swavesey for the bus home.

This year, meetings have been held in Bury St Edmunds, Colchester (jointly with colleagues from the L&SE Eastern Division) Norwich and Peterborough (jointly with colleagues from the Lincolnshire Branch.) The Branch Committee has met on the same day as the above plus a planning meeting in Cambridge at the end of March. Each member of the Committee has a specific and agreed task. Before each meeting, the newsletter, "RailEast", has been produced and either posted or emailed to all members including Corporate Members. This year, in addition to the above, the Branch organised an all day national Summer conference, on behalf of the Board, in Cambridge. This was well attended and was agreed by attendees as a positive experience.

Finding out more about the hospital trains, I was intrigued to learn that the injured men taken of at Meldreth Station were in fact Americans operating overseas and were transported to a hospital set within the grounds of Wimpole Estate, next to the village of Arrington.

Melbourn Village College an Academy of the Cam Academy
Melbourn Village College An Academy of The Cam Academy Trust Information Pack for the Post of Teacher of Computer Science An Introduction Thank you for requesting this information pack. I hope that it gives you an insight into the school as well as the relevant subject area and vacancy. Melbourn Village College is a successful 11-16 school with a strong community feel. At just over 600 pupils, our size enables all to flourish within a supportive environment, where each feel valued and empowered. Pupils are encouraged to continue their learning outside the classroom and a very high proportion get involved in the wide range of extra-curricular activities available to them. Our most recent OFSTED Inspection in September 2017 confirmed that we are a ‘good’ school which “has continued to improve the quality of education in the school” since our previous ‘Good’ judgement in May 2013. We are committed to improving what we do and aim to be outstanding. I look forward to working with you in the future. Simon Holmes – Principal School History Melbourn is a large village situated on the border of Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire, four miles from Royston and twelve miles from Cambridge. The school first opened in September 1959, the sixth of Henry Morris’s village colleges, from which the worldwide community school movement developed. It is an 11 – 16 community comprehensive school, serving a large area of South Cambridgeshire. Most pupils are drawn from the traditional catchment area, which covers eleven local villages and eight primary schools. Its southern boundary extends to the Hertfordshire border and its northern almost to the city of Cambridge.
