Cala Homes are holding a public consultation on Tuesday 7 November 2023 with regard to land off Water Lane that has been offered as part of the Call for Sites carried out by South Cambs District Council.
Please visit the Cala Homes site for more information.
At this time the Parish Council understand that the emerging SCDC local plan does not include this piece of land. This post is to notify residents only and not to be viewed as endorsement by the Parish.
Please note the planned road closures on Sunday 12 November 2023 for the Remembrance Day parade through the village. An application in this regard has been approved by Cambridgeshire County Council.
As in previous years, the High street will be closed from 10:30 to 11:15 from the village car park to The Cross to allow for the Parade. There will be a diversion in place via Norgetts Lane, Orchard Road and Mortlock Street. Traffic at The Cross will also be suspended for the Act of Remembrance at 11:00.

Cambridgeshire County Council has launched an online fall risk checking tool to help you understand your risk of falling and simple steps you can take to stay active and independent.
From the age of 65, the risk of having a fall increases but many are avoidable. The new tool, Steady on your Feet, is aimed at those who haven’t previously had a fall but would like to understand what they can do to prevent this happening.
Steady on Your Feet is easy to use, asking a short series of questions to help understand any individual risks you might have and providing an action plan to keep you active and independent while increasing your confidence and reducing the risk of falling. You can fill it in yourself, or ask a family member or friend if you need extra help.
Suggested steps to prevent a fall might include arranging an eye or hearing test, increasing your activity levels and eating a balanced diet, or even looking after your feet and making sure you wear supportive footwear with non-slip soles.
