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.

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!
