Potholes
Specifically on the road leading past the Church Hall to the new cemetery at St Mary's field.
We have had a phone call from a member of the public reporting this today, but no name or number was left for us to reply directly. The Parish Council does not own this road (it belongs to Merton College) and is not responsible for repairs, but we have been reporting the poor condition of it to Merton for some considerable time now and chasing for a response. As it is the entry point to the new cemetery, it is obviously very concerning to the Parish Council that it is in such a bad way. We have been assured that a reply to our queries about it (and several other matters) is on its way shortly, so watch this space! ... See MoreSee Less

Skatepark
Is now repaired and open for business! New sheets have been laid and lots of extra rivets installed to hold them in place. We hope it is now robust enough to provide lots of fun for a long time to come! Thank you to https://www.evolutionskateparks.com/ for their hard work in investigating and responding promptly to an issue we raised with them just before Christmas. ... See MoreSee Less

Black spraypaint
Has anyone noticed residue of black spraypaint on clothes or hands over the last couple of days? Someone has been "creative" (I use the term very loosely) with a can of black spraypaint around the village, particularly near the skatepark and the Eco Hub. Our grounds man has spent most of his working hours today trying to clean it off, a waste of time and money. If anyone can give us any information about the "artist/s", it would be most appreciated..... ... See MoreSee Less

Village design

A Village Design Guide describes the distinctive character of the village and sets out guidelines for how this should be enhanced by new developments. It helps communities and planners shape the character of new development in your area, in response to community priorities. It is a way to provide more locally specific detail, which augments and amplifies South Cambridgeshire District Council Local Plan policies.

The Village Design Guide Supplementary Planning Documents are:

Concise and visually led- providing clear and unambiguous guidance
Focused on the priorities of the village community, ensuring that the full diversity of community views are included.
Design focused – looking at how buildings, streets, spaces landscape and materials come together to create areas with distinctive identity and character.
Forward-looking– aiming to make new development the best quality it can be, encouraging appropriate, creative design approaches.

Gamlingay's Village Design Guide has now been adopted by South Cambridgeshire District Council and is available to view on its website https://www.scambs.gov.uk/media/14389/gamlingay-village-design-guide-spd.pdf ... See MoreSee Less
