South Cambridgeshire District Council – Harston & Comberton Ward

Report to South Trumpington Parish Meeting July 2019

M11 Junction 11 Park & Ride

The Executive Board of the Greater Cambridge Partnership met on 27th June and, as expected,

approved that the plans for a Park & Ride on Hauxton parish land at J11 of the M11 should be

progressed to a full planning application. We will be looking to scrutinise the detailed design

proposals very closely as we still have very serious concerns about how the flow of traffic along the

A10 is optimised. We hope to see faster progress now on other GCP interventions that could help,

such as the Foxton travel hub.

Local Transport Plan

The consultation on the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority’s Local Transport

Plan is now live. You can find about the plan and how to contribute to the consultation here:

https://cambridgeshirepeterborough-ca.gov.uk/aboutus/programmes/transport/ltp/

There are many consultation events scheduled throughout July and a few in September – see the link

for details. The consultation closes on 27th September.

Combined Authority News

In other transport news from the Combined Authority, the Mayor has put forward the A10 (north of

Cambridge) for government funding and refused South Cambs Leader Bridget Smith’s plea to also

put forward the A505, which already exceeds its limited capacity. Bridget had previously successfully

persuaded the CA and the Mayor to develop a project just to upgrade the junctions on the A10 at a

cost of about £40m rather than the extraordinarily expensive (£1/2 billion) dualling which the Mayor

favours. Both these projects have been submitted.

Part of the devolution deal for the Combined Authority was £100m for affordable housing to be

targeted at areas where housing was least affordable. On this basis, South Cambs should have had a

fairly large chunk of the money in the form of grants. However, the Mayor has ring fenced £40m for a

rolling fund of loans, about 90% of which has so far gone to East Cambs – where the Mayor lives!

Bridget voted against a loan of over £4m going to a developer to turn an office building in the centre

of Ely into 25 flats, only four of which will be ‘affordable’.

Parking Enforcement and Pavement Parking

At the Parish Liaison meeting last month, many parish councillors and clerks expressed frustration

about the lamentable figure presented of 22 parking enforcement notices issued in the whole of South

Cambs this year. Obviously, that fails completely to address the problem that many of our villages are

facing. The council has been under pressure from the Police and Crime Commissioner to agree a civil

enforcement scheme for the district and it is surprising that he has failed to accept that the legislation

prevents us from doing this and that responsibility for parking enforcement will have to remain his.

The problem is that legally we cannot use council tax to fund such a scheme. It can only be funded

from money earned from parking, i.e. car parks, fines and residents’ parking schemes. We have no car

parks and no residents’ parking schemes in the district and we know that income from fines would fall

far short of the significant amount that would be needed to fund a district wide scheme. The Police

have reiterated that if regular offenders are reported to them three times they will take action. We

suggest we put this to the test and if it fails that you let us know.

On the subject of pavement parking there has been some discussion at government level about

legislating but as things stand it is at the discretion of the police whether they issue a penalty notice or

not. The advice we have had is that they will do so if the gap is not large enough for a wheelchair to

pass through.

Waste Services Campaigns

The shared waste service is launching campaigns to increase public awareness on fly tipping and

recycling contamination. The fly tipping campaign aims to educate residents about the problem and

how it can be prevented, highlighting legal ways of disposing of waste and how to report fly tipping.

The SCRAP action check list (Suspect, Check, Refuse, Ask, Paperwork) will be a key message. The

recycling campaign’s aim is to reduce the amount of non-recyclable material put into blue bins. The

contract for recycling has a threshold of 7% contamination so it is important that the council

maintains levels below this. Textiles, sanitary products, black bags and food/liquids are the main

items that are being found to be contaminating blue recycling bins, and the campaign will lead on

these.

Blue Plaque Scheme

South Cambs has just launched this scheme which has been running in Cambridge since 2001. The

first plaque was unveiled on Sunday 30th June at Girton College to honour its two principal founders,

Barbara Bodichon and Emily Davies, who were pioneers in providing education at degree level for

women in this country. South Cambridgeshire residents are now being encouraged to nominate a

person or event for commemoration. Visit the webpage at www.scambs.gov.uk/blueplaques for

further details and the nomination criteria.

LIBRARYS

In May, the Communities and Partnerships Committee unanimously agreed to progress our Future Libraries project - in partnership with Civic - to design future models of libraries for the county and, ultimately, the country.

The project builds on the previous transformation work carried out by the Library Service that enabled the council to keep all libraries open, improve and reinvigorate existing ones and plan new libraries as part of the future growth plans for the county. .

The Library Service and Civic will soon start the conversation with communities in seven pilot locations. Those have been selected because, despite their geographical proximity, they are home to diverse communities and libr reflect the five emerging models we would like to explore and prove. Our ambition is to roll these models out to

all Cambridgeshire and Peterborough libraries over three years so that all libraries benefit.

• Anchor to the High Street: Peterborough Central Library and Wisbech Library

• Centre for Rural Life: Thorney Library in Peterborough and Soham Library

• (Re)Animating Communities: Northstowe (new build)

• Hub for the Region: Cambridge Central Library

• Pop-Up for Reviving Community Assets: Brampton Library Access Point.

Clean Air Project

At the May 2018 Commercial and Investment Committee meeting, a development budget for the first stage of an Investment Grade Proposal (IGP) for smart energy grids was granted for both Trumpington and Babraham Park & Rides. A development budget of £300,000 was approved, split evenly between the two sites

The IGP development is split into four stages with the intention to obtain the maximum level of certainty and security at the earliest stage of the

development, in terms of cost and commitment and to create a decision gateway between stages

The subject of this report is covering stage one, Concept and Qualification, which includes: � outline design;

� receiving pre-application planning advice;

� making an initial application to the Distribution Network Operator for a grid connection;

� engagement with potential Power Purchase Agreement customers; and

� managing the key risks associated with the above and the overall viability of the project

Through the Climate Change Act, the government has committed to reduce emissions by at least 80% of 1990 levels by the year 2050. In mid-June, government proposed to increase the target to 100% of 1990 levels by the year 2050. To meet these targets, the government has set five-yearly carbon budgets which currently run until 2032. They restrict the amount of greenhouse gas the UK can legally emit in a five year period.

In order to meet these carbon budgets, the government has laid out ambitious plans to decarbonise heat, electricity and transport which will see a rapid increase in the use of renewable energy.

The original concept of a smart energy grid on Babraham Park and Ride included solar renewable energy, battery storage and electric vehicle charging infrastructure for cars and buses. The battery storage was included to provide flexibility services to National Grid to generate revenues and formed the bulk of revenues expected. However, since the initial paper was presented to Committee, the market for battery storage services has experienced uncertainty about the timing and level of revenues

Given the clear long term need for battery

storage capacity to balance Government’s

ambition for 50% of electricity from

renewables by 2030, there is a case to

continue to develop battery storage projects

despite current revenue uncertainties. This

will prepare the Council to bid for grid service

contracts as new revenue mechanisms

become available, avoiding missed

opportunities due to project immaturity. The

risk with this approach is that new revenues

will not come forward for batteries as the

quantity of renewables connected to the grid

grows. These issues are explored in much

more depth in the paper entitled ‘Battery

Energy Storage System Market Opportunity &

Risk’

Considering the above, it is proposed to

continue to develop the original concept to

allow us to develop a shovel-ready project.

The County Council is the planning authority for this project under Regulation 3 of the Town and Country Planning General Regulations 1992. In November 2018, pre-planning advice was received and the following issues identified: The site is within the greenbelt and sits within

both Cambridge City and South

Cambridgeshire boundaries which means the

policies from both Councils will need to be

considered. Both Local Plans have policies

with a presumption in favour of renewable

and low carbon energy generation. In

addition, there is a local nature reserve

nearby and sites of special scientific interest.

Due to the size of the development, an

Environmental Screening Request will be

submitted ahead of the full planning

application to help inform the submission

documents. Given the broad policy support,

the planning application is expected to

receive an officer recommendation for

approval, subject to formal consultation.

As the site is located in the Green Belt, additional

sensitivities can be expected, therefore a

community engagement officer will be procured.

Engagement and Communications Implications A letter explaining the project was distributed to

the surrounding households and businesses in

person during January. Staff manned a table at

the park and ride to communicate details of the

project to commuters in the same time period. A

presentation to the Great Shelford community

was made in February 2019’

Localism and Local Member Involvement Presentations were made to the Great Shelford Parish Council and to the Great Shelford public in January and February 2019. An email update was provided to the Parish Council, County Members, and City Councillors for Queen Edith’s, Shelford, and Cherry Hinton in May 2019. Public Health Implications Vehicle emissions are a direct cause of poor air

quality and the introduction of additional electric

charging points for cars powered by zero emission

electricity could therefore lower pollution and

therefore result in positive health benefits

through improved air quality. The Transport and

Health Joint Strategic Needs Assessment 2015

states that new low emission vehicles are either

fully electric with no emissions at the point of use

or hybrid vehicles which have significantly

reduced emissions for periods of the drive cycle

and may be capable of some zero emission

running. Therefore, with new low emission vehicle

technology there is the potential for substantial

real world cuts in emissions.

Greater Cambridge Partnership

New cycle-friendly traffic lights have been

installed in Cambridge and extra cycle lockers will

be added to Park & Ride sites to encourage more

people to jump on to their bikes.

A total of 79 new cycle lockers will be installed

across the Trumpington, Newmarket Road,

Madingley Road, Babraham Road and

Longstanton sites to make it easier for people to

switch between cycling and the bus – helping to

reduce congestion and improve air quality.

New ‘low level’ cycle traffic signals have now

been installed at the junction of Arbury Road and

Campkin Road to allow cyclists to move off before

other traffic to improve safety.

Cllr Lewis Herbert, Chair of the Greater

Cambridge Partnership, said:

“This is great news that will really help people use

their bike to get around. Cambridge is the cycling

capital of the country and Greater Cambridge is a

thriving cycling destination.

“We’re committed to upgrading existing cycling

and walking links and creating new routes to help

more people get on their bikes.

“With thousands of new homes and jobs being

created, and 106 deaths every year directly linked

to poor air quality in Greater Cambridge, it’s vital

we make cycling an easy and attractive alternative

to driving to help reduce congestion and clean up

the air we breathe.”

The GCP is investing millions of pounds on a

number of proposed cycling projects – including

the Chisholm Trail, 12 Greater Cambridge

Greenways and five Cross City Cycling schemes -

to extend and enhance cycling routes in Greater

Cambridge.

The GCP has also teamed up with cycling

campaign group Love to Ride to encourage more

people to enjoy the benefits of cycling around

Britain’s cycling city.

Love to Ride will run four cycle challenges on

behalf of the GCP this year, including Bike Week

– a nationwide celebration of cycling which runs

for the entire month of June.

Today (20 June) is Clean Air Day and cyclists

who register on the Love to Ride website - or a

partner mobile app Bike Report or Strava - and

record a ride will be entered into a draw to win an

e-bike.

Malbourn and Sawston Greenways Consultation Open

Consultation on the Melbourn and

Sawston Greenways open until Monday 5

August 2019

Surveys

The Melbourn and Sawston Greenway

Surveys are now open. The surveys will close

on 23:59 on Monday 05 August 2019:

Background

In 2016, the Greater Cambridge Partnership

commissioned a consultant to review twelve

routes to improve cycle, walking and

equestrian links from villages around

Cambridge into the city.

Following this review, we worked

collaboratively with local residents and

members of the public to develop the best

routes for their areas.

These routes have been labelled the

'Greenways'.

There are 12 Greenways planned in total:

• Waterbeach Greenway

• Horningsea Greenway

• Swaffham Greenway

• Bottisham Greenway

• Fulbourn Greenway

• Linton Greenway

• Sawston Greenway

• Melbourn Greenway

• Haslingfield Greenway

• Barton Greenway

• Comberton Greenway

• St Ives Greenway

Consultation on ideas

After early engagement with the public, we've

developed routes for these Greenways to

enable cyclists, walkers and equestrians to

travel sustainably from Melbourn and Sawston

into Cambridge.

You can now feedback on the proposals for

the Melbourn and Sawston routes via our

surveys, which will be available until Monday

5th August 2019.

Thousands Back Greater Cambridge Vision for Better Journeys

Choices for Better Journeys Survey

Results

Choices for Better Journeys asked people for

feedback on proposals for a future public

transport network and ways to reduce

congestion. The engagement took place from

Monday 25 February to Sunday 31st March

2019.

In summary, the main findings of the

engagement are:

• 82% of respondents backed our vision to

significantly improve public transport.

• 81% of respondents chose a traffic-

reducing measure as their first choice for

both funding public transport and reducing

congestion.

• 44% of respondents chose pollution

charge as their first or second choice

option for funding public transport and

cutting congestion, followed by a flexible

charge to drive at the busiest times (36%).

• 32% of respondents chose introducing

pedestrianised zones or physical

restrictions, as their first or second choice.

• 29% opted for introducing a Workplace

Parking Levy, which would charge

employers for parking spaces that they

provide (first or second choice).

• 20% of respondents thought higher

parking charges would be the best option

(first or second choice)

• 19% of respondents put forward an

alternative idea first, including improving

public transport to encourage greater use,

better Park & Ride provision and higher

taxation to fund better vehicles.

The full results of the engagement can be

found online in the Choices for Better

Journeys Engagement Report.

Next Steps on Choices for Better Journeys

The Greater Cambridge Partnership Joint

Assembly and Executive Board will consider

the results of the survey in their meetings in

June.

Following this engagement, we are planning

to hold a Citizens’ Assembly, where dozens of

people – supported by an expert advisory

panel – will meet to consider evidence about

how to reduce congestion, improve air quality

and transform public transport to improve

people’s daily journeys.

Citizens’ Assemblies are a form of deliberative

democracy using a cross-section of society to

create consensus. It involves bringing

together a group of people that broadly

represent the population to deliberate an

issue, before making recommendations.

Further information about a Citizens’

Assembly will be published shortly.

Reducing Pollution.

Dear Operator

Re Vehicle Emissions - at School / Day

Centre Sites

Following on from recent concerns raised in the

National Press around high levels of vehicle

emission pollution which is affecting the health of

the public particularly around young

people, the council has recognised that it must

play its part in reducing this risk where

possible. Therefore as a council we wish to ensure

that our contracted transport provision is

setting the best possible example regarding

vehicle’s operating in and around our Schools

and Day centre facilities.

We are therefore requesting that when

contracted transport vehicles are stationary on or

near a School/Day centre site the vehicle engine is

SWITCHED OFF, however short any wait

may be. This is aimed to reducing emission levels

at the point Children/ Service Users are

boarding or alighting vehicles.

We thank you for your support in reducing

emitted emissions levels around these facilities

Communities and Partnerships.

Prevent

PREVENT STRATEGY 2019-2021 The Committee received a report on proposed updates to the combined Prevent Strategy for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. Members were informed that while Prevent activities across the County had previously been carried out by the police, the responsibility would shortly be transferred to the local authority. It was noted that the Prevent Strategy was complex and involved many layers, with Members’ attention being drawn to the diagram in section 2.7 of the report for guidance on the delivery structure. This interconnectedness emphasised the need to work with communities and the Council’s responsibility to train, safeguard and raise awareness of its staff.

The role of Councillor Cuffley as the Member lead was highlighted as being of importance and the Assistant Director of Public Protection referred to the list of Points of Contact within the local authority on page 8 of the Prevent Strategy to demonstrate

that taking ownership of the strategy had also been identified as fundamental

While discussing the report and Prevent Strategy, Members: � Agreed that effective communication and engagement were necessary to ensure the Strategy was successful. � Sought clarification on whether taking over responsibility from the police would be accompanied by extra resources and it was established that the local authority was not expecting substantial extra resources. It was also noted that such resources would be dispersed across the region in alignment with councils in Luton, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire. � Considered how schools would be engaged and the fact that governors needed to be provided with effective training on their role in the process of helping children understand. Recent interactions with schools had emphasised the importance of staff being aware of what was available to them beforehand, rather than after an incident had occurred. The Committee was also informed that an improved training package was in the process of being built. �

Queried how risks were identified and whether

machine learning techniques had been used. The referral process was explained as being similar to safeguarding techniques, with attention being focussed on identifying risk areas, such as areas with far right extremism. � Suggested that the report and Strategy did not pay sufficient attention to hate crime or the effect that the Strategy had proven to have on minority groups and that these two issues should be recognised within the Strategy itself. The Assistant Director of Public Protection acknowledged the concerns and agreed that including a paragraph of information on local action in this area would be positive. � Noted that the internet and social media played an ever increasing role in targeting and influencing within society, although it was acknowledged that monitoring of such activities was carried out by separate agencies and that local authorities were not involved. � Recognised the need to keep district and parish councils regularly updated on the Strategy. The Service Director of Community and Safety proposed a workshop session to

discuss how to train and engage other local authorities as well as school governors.

HATE CRIME – THIRD PARTY REPORTING PROVISION The Committee received a report providing an update on the setting up of hate crime third party reporting services across Cambridgeshire, the latest stage of which had involved Community Champions in identifying suitable locations for each area of the County. The Assistant Director of Public Protection noted the assistance provided by the Community Champions, as well as Councillor Manning who assisted in the absence of a South Cambridgeshire Community Champion and Tiff Lane, the Cambridgeshire Constabulary Hate Crime Officer. It was proposed that a main reporting centre would serve as a hub in each area, with smaller satellites operating in the different communities, many of which already existed. Wide consultation with the community had been held on an ongoing basis, along with a review of the police hate crime reporting process. Members were informed that the reporting centres could be established and

opened by the end of June 2019, if the Committee agreed to the proposals set out in the report Suggested that an event similar to ‘Hope not Hate’ in Cambridge would serve to bring communities together to talk about issues and ensure they were aware of how the reporting process worked. It was noted that such outreach work was vital to the programme, rather than simply expecting victims of hate crime to take the initiative. � Considered whether Cambourne would be a more suitable location than Melbourn for the main reporting centre in South Cambridgeshire. Councillor Manning, who had proposed Melbourn as the preferable location, was not at the meeting and therefore the Committee was unable to discuss the reasons behind its selection. � Suggested that ‘politics’ should be added to the list in the first paragraph of Appendix 4 as a further cause of crime against a person, citing the recent murder of a Member of Parliament as an example. The Assistant

Director of Public Protection noted that the wording around hate crime was largely set on the basis of a national agenda, but he confirmed that such an incident would be regarded as a hate crime and therefore agreed to share this feedback with the Constabulary and ask they discuss this suggestion at the county hate crime board

Established that the locations of the reporting centres would not necessarily be permanent and that they may be moved at a later date if feedback suggested that it would be of benefit. � Approved the development of online reporting facilities, noting that it was ideal to offer the greatest number of different means for reporting as possible. The Committee was informed that the highest number of hate crimes were actually reported via online services. � Sought clarification over whether reported hate crimes were recorded in a police register. It was confirmed that this only occurred when it was considered a criminal matter, with a

distinction made between hate incidents or hate crimes and with the latter involving a formal investigation and potential arrests. It was also noted that not only the police followed up on reported hate crimes, with other members of the multi-agency risk group, such as safety partnerships, also fulfilling the role.

Proposed the need for an effective feedback mechanism to ensure that the process worked well and was kept in check, noting that such features of the rape reporting process had revealed serious problems, which had allowed for them to then be addressed to improve the process. It was observed that one of the benefits of a multi-agency approach was a high level of scrutiny, with members of the public, faith groups and other community organisations able to observe the process at all stages. � Requested an explanation for the high number of reported hate crimes that had been reported in the media earlier in the day. The Assistant Director of Public Protection explained that he was unaware of the report

and therefore unable to comment on the specific figures but noted that hate crime reporting regularly experienced peaks and troughs. He pointed out that higher numbers of reported crimes allowed for a greater understanding of the issues, although conversely it was obviously ideal to receive as few reports as possible.

Confirmed that doctors and other NHS staff were involved and trained throughout the process in order to participate in the potential identification of hate crimes, such as knife wounds

Dear Stakeholder,

We are writing to you to seek your input in developing the first ever Local Transport Plan for

Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.

This consultation is an opportunity to have an exciting, powerful conversation with people,

businesses and providers of public services about the key priorities and principles that will

shape our transport network to 2050. It will address the key challenges and opportunities

around transport in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, both now and in the future.

The Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Devolution Deal, agreed with Government in 2017,

gave the Mayor and the Combined Authority responsibility for certain transport functions.

Among those responsibilities, the Combined Authority took over the role of Local Transport

Authority from Cambridgeshire County Council and Peterborough City Council. One of the

key responsibilities of the Local Transport Authority is the development of a new Local

Transport Plan.

Our draft Local Transport Plan was published on June 17, marking the start of a fifteen-week

consultation period which runs until September 27. It sets out an ambitious and challenging

strategy for a world-class, integrated transport network, which addresses current and

anticipated future pressures on infrastructure, while also supporting housing and economic

growth. It aims to bring forward a step-change in how people and goods travel across the

area.

It will provide the vision and strategy to meet the infrastructure challenges set out in

Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Independent Economic Review (CPIER). It will also be a

key strategic pillar in meeting the Combined Authority’s commitment to doubling the size of

the area’s economy over 25 years, and meeting the vision set out in the Growth Ambition

Statement.

The Local Transport Plan will set out the Combined Authority’s plans and strategies for

maintaining and improving all aspects of the local transport system. It describes:

· the vision and objectives for transport in the area alongside a programme for achieving

them;

· the current and future transport needs of people and freight, across transport modes; and

· policies and delivery plans relating to transport, explaining how they contribute to the

delivery of local strategic priorities.

You can access the full suite of Local Transport Plan documents on our website

(https://cambridgeshirepeterborough-ca.gov.uk/about-us/programmes/transport/ltp),

alongside details of our consultation events and ways in which you can respond to the

consultation. Consultation events are taking place at a range of locations across

Cambridgeshire and Peterborough in June, July and September.

We look forward to hearing your thoughts on the draft document and engaging with you

further as we respond to feedback and finalise the Local Transport Plan later in 2019.

Kind regards,

The Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority
