As detailed in https://www.cambridgelibdems.org.uk/chestert_local_highways_bids_longlist I (as the County Councillor for the area) have to select five bids to go forward to the next stage of the Local Highways Improvements process.

Since 2016, Cambridge has had a proud history of offering sanctuary to the most vulnerable people, through the Syrian Vulnerable Person's Resettlement Scheme.  

As this scheme draws to a close, a new scheme is opening which offers local councils support and funding to resettle 20,000 people over 5 years.
