Funding opportunity! "S106 funding" (the name comes from the section of the act it refers to) is available for public open spaces and parks in (or near) the Chesterton wards, and for community spaces (eg places like Brownsfield Youth Centre).

I’m pleased to give you three pieces of good news; I’ve secured funding for some local improvements in Chesterton.

This is the fourth of our brief updates on council-related matters during the lockdown.

In relation to the current controversy over public monuments associated with the slave trade, Liberal Democrat councillors on Cambridge City Council issued the following statement in relation to Cambridge:

Cambridgeshire Liberal Democrats are joining this protest today to show we stand in solidarity with black communities in the USA, UK and around the world.  We know we are living through a moment in history where our values are challenged, and as liberals we stand on the side of racial and social justice. 

Market Ward's local councillors have put together a new update with key information on local services, which we hope will be helpful. We are all grateful for the acts of kindness and committed public service that abound in these difficult times. It obviously remains vital for us to follow the guidance that is being set and to hope for a gradual end to this crisis. Stay safe!

Liberal Democrats on Cambridge City Council have welcomed proposals which enable members of the public to watch and speak in council proceedings when they re-start as ‘virtual meetings’ this week. 

Liberal Democrat councillors from across Cambridgeshire spoke out in opposition to the Conservative County Council plans to scrap CJAC (Cambridge Joint Area Committee), a highly-valued transport committee that brings together county and city councillors.

Market Ward's local councillors have put together a short update during this unprecedented and worrying period. We hope you are managing well and find it helpful.
