Sewage Works Development Update 2
Since my last update https://www.cambridgelibdems.org.uk/sewage_works_development_update_the_necaap_forum we've had two further meetings of the forum, and a draft of the framework was due for presentation to Councillors at the end of November, however this has now been delayed due to the General Election.
This has also impacted on the timescale for this planning phase. More details when we have them.
I've attempted to summarise what is being discussed in this blog post - this is very high level and brief.

I've "called in" planning application 19/0981/FUL . Calling in is the process by which a local Councillor can insist that a planning application decision is made at committee rather than by an individual officer under delegated powers.

Sewage Works Development Update - the NECAAP forum
As residents will hopefully be aware, the Councils are in the process of preparing for the potential development of around ~7000 homes on the current site of the sewage works near to Cambridge North.

Chesterton parking upate 2019-07-21
This blog post attempts to update residents on the status of residents’ parking across West Chesterton and East Chesterton.
There is an added level of complexity because the County Divisions do not match the City ones. There is a Chesterton Division at County level, but West and East Chesterton Wards at City. This is important from an accountability perspective, as residents’ parking is a County matter. I’ve tried to note in each area update which Division (County) and Ward (City) it is in.
Please read on for a summary of the main areas, and a lot of detail on the work that has been done since 2017 to find workable solutions.
