Reports of November Parish Council Meeting

Written 08/11/00

The council met on Monday 6th November and co-opted Liz Baker and Tim Siggs as parish councillors.

Liz lives in the Sycamores and works at the Department of Physics and also does freelance design work. Tim lives in Pearson Court and is a police officer and is also chairman of the Friends of Milton Country Park.

During a long evening the council also agreed:

  • to purchase the allotments and the field north of them from the County Council for £40,000 for use in the future as recreation land.
  • not to co-operate with the people behind the Waterbeach barracks new town development
  • to write to the county council re-iterating council's objections to the extension of planning permission (this after an unsatisfactory and inconclusive meeting with the site owners)
  • to explore with the county council the possibility of making the path behind the Sycamores and Humphries way into a public footpath (as part of a scheme to improve the northernmost section)
Reports received include the lack of progress over improving the surface of the Haling Way between Fen Road and the lock to allow disabled access, the opening of the youth building, and a briefing on the Cambridge Northern Fringe review.
