  • Trumpington and Cambridge Connections
    TRUMPINGTON HISTORY TRAILS Trumpington and Cambridge Connections Explore the Route between Trumpington and Cambridge 2 Walk or cycle, approximately 6 miles/9.7 kms walk on pavements and footpaths; cycle on roads and dual use paths 1. Start at the green by the shops, Anstey Way Go from the green to the High Street, turn left and go to the junction with Shelford Road. 2. Turnpikes to Cambridge The High Street follows the route from the south to Cambridge. From the 1720s, two turnpike roads merged at this junction: from Barkway (straight ahead) and Great Chesterford (from the left) (Feature A). The tollhouse on the other side of the High Street was built in 1811, with a weighbridge added to its right in 1863. Return to the pedestrian lights, cross, turn right, continue along the High Street to the War Memorial. 3. War Memorial and Cross Hill The War Memorial was dedicated in 1921 at Cross Hill, the same location as the Medieval village cross (Trail 1). The surroundings were renovated in 2014. Through the gates to the left, there is a lodge and the driveway to Trumpington Hall. Continue along the High Street (Trail 1) and its continuation, Trumpington Road. Go a short distance beyond the Long Road junction and stop opposite the school sign on the right. 4. Trumpington Road The building across the road is Leighton House (the Perse Preparatory School), built in 1866-69 for Cambridge philanthropist and retailer Robert Sayle (his store is now the Cambridge John Lewis’s). The grounds were called Gibbet Hill, the site of a gallows until the late 1700s.

  • Summary of Silver Street Area Problems
    Summary of Silver Street area problems December 2001 Pembroke Street / Mill Lane junction · Pembroke Street a primary route for cyclists (between Pembroke Street and Mill Lane in both directions) · Main cycle demands at this junction are - straight across (between Pembroke Street and Mill Lane in both directions) - along Trumpington Street in both directions, and - the right turn from Pembroke Street into Trumpington Street (towards King's Parade and Silver Street) · We think it is unlikely a solution could be found which did not require traffic lights. · Traffic lights have potential to introduce very long delays for cyclists if not given sufficient priority. A change of priorities here (without signals) may advantage motorists and disadvantage cyclists. i.e. giving priority to traffic turning right from Trumpington Street into Pembroke Street will make things worse for cyclists emerging from Pembroke Street. Silver Street / Kings Parade junction · If traffic could still use Silver Street eastbound poor visibility and limited gaps in traffic make Trumpington street to Kings Parade a difficult manoeuvre · Cyclists routinely ignore Give Way when travelling south from kings Parade (partly because gaps in traffic are so rare). · Northbound cyclists waiting to proceed into the northern part of Trumpington Street (towards Kings Parade), who position themselves correctly on their own side of the central white line (where they can see round the corner) are vulnerable to coaches and other long vehicles turning right from Silver Street into Trumpington.

It does not include the Colleges. Neither does it include the University Press, Local Examinations Syndicate, nor properties outside Cambridge which are held in the investment portfolio. 1.2 The Estate currently comprises more than 300 buildings ranging from Grade 1 Listed buildings to agricultural type buildings with a total net assignable area of some 360,000m2 and gross built area of 650,000m2 in the operational estate. The current estimated replacement value of the Estate is £1.2bn. The University’s maintenance and utilities budgets for 2006/07 are £15M and £10.6M. The ‘non-operational’ estate comprises properties held for the general purposes of the University (e.g. residences) and land and property that could be needed in the foreseeable future for the operational estate. The properties are generally leased or rented out. The current capital value of the non-operational estate is £60.2M and the forecast net income to the Chest in 2006/07 is £1.5M. 1.3 HEFCE’s Circular 00/04 ‘Estate Strategies: A Guide to good Practice’ contains the following guidance: An estate strategy draws its aims from the institution’s corporate plan, and establishes the estate needs to achieve these aims.

It includes information on: ◊ self care/looking after yourself ◊ pharmacies ◊ NHS 111 ◊ mental health services ◊ college nurses ◊ GPs ◊ Meningitis ACWY vaccine ◊ Patient Experience Team ◊ other local NHS services ◊ A&E. Concerns about body weight International students: Please refer to the UKCISA website at www.foreignstudents.com/health/ insurance for more information about eligibility for healthcare. 2 3 Registering with a local GP practice If, like most students, you are likely to spend more weeks of the year at your college address than your family’s address, you need to register with a GP near your college as soon as possible. That way you can receive care if you need it, and access health services quickly and easily while you’re at college. This is especially important if you have an ongoing health condition, particularly one that needs medication, such as asthma, diabetes or epilepsy. You can find details of your local GP online at www.nhs.uk/service-search Self-care (looking after yourself) Common conditions and minor ailments such as colds and flu, coughs and sore throats, upset stomachs, and aches and pains are generally not a serious health problem for most patients. You can easily treat yourself at home with advice from a local pharmacist, helping avoid unnecessary trips to your GP or A&E department.
