The Greater Cambridge Partnership is extending the Cambourne to Better Bus Journeys public consultation to give residents additional time to consider the options. There is an exhibition at CVC on Wednesday 29th November..

They want as many people as possible to find out about what options are proposed and to give them their views on those options.

Since last week, GCP have been made aware of some information about the proposal that was unintentionally left out of some material. They have updated this information and are grateful for the feedback received.

Why  should Comberton vote for  even more congestion going east at the Madingley Mulch Roundabout versus just P&R Buses every 10-20 minutes from the Dry Drayton Roundabout ? It’s your call.…

There’s a ‘consultation’ – i.e. an exhibition of what GCP propose – between 14:30-15:30 on Wednesday 19th November.  Bad luck to those who work !!

Westview , a grade II Listed building in West Street, was affected by a severe roof fire at midday  Saturday November 15th. At least eight fire engines were called at 12.59pm to the home on West Street in Comberton after a passerby saw the flames.

It took 55 firefighters from various units hours to put out the blaze, which is believed to have started inside the home.

Pictures taken show how the entire roof of the cottage was destroyed with half of the wooden roof beams having completely fallen through..“

Sadly, because the building has been recently re-thatched but not completed just yet, because it hadn’t been tied down and compressed, it was quite exposed and open so the fire did spread quickly,”
said Group Commander Simon Newton from Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service.
