On the first day of public consultation for the North East Cambridge Area Action Plan, local Liberal Democrat campaigners are pointing to a “serious concern” about lack of public open space in the plans. (Pictured: East Chesterton Lib Dem campaigner Michael Bond).

Liberal Democrat councillors admitted disappointment at the failure of Cambridge City Council to agree a new target for resettling refugees under a new government-funded programme. (Pictured: Cambridge Lib Dems Deputy Group Leader Cllr Cheney Payne).

At today's meeting of Cambridge City Council, Liberal Democrat councillors are fighting to retain measures which address the climate change and biodiversity crises in the council’s proposed emergency budget. (Pictured: Cllrs Tim Bick, Anthony Martinelli and Katie Porrer on Parker's Piece).

Liberal Democrat councillors have condemned financial mismanagement which has left £10million of Housing Revenue Account money intended for improving council housing unspent, whilst 1 in 9 of the Council’s properties fall short of decent homes standards. (Pictured: Liberal Democrat Councillor and council house tenant Jennifer Page-Croft, with a friend and fellow tenant to the left).

After lockdown, the Cambridge Lib Dems don't want to return to business as usual. We're launching 'Your Vision for Our City' to hear your thoughts on building a fairer, greener city. To share your vision, fill in our survey here.

Five Trees is a small, but much loved green area between Fen Road, Cam Causeway, Cheney Way and Lents Way, shown in
the map on the right. The north of the city and East Chesterton, in particular, are lacking in green space and none should be lost!

We want to ensure it is protected from any threat of being built on by thinking about ways we can further improve the space - and we want to know what you think!

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).
