Gamlingay Parish Council

Ideas and quotes please
We need to create some new steps from the playground up to the Eco Hub car park. Currently access is up the slope with the aid of some rather rotten sleepers, no handrail and quite a drop down the side. We need something easier and safer. Disabled access is available on the other side via a tarmaced path. It might be better to create this stepped access to the right of the current one up a steeper but shorter bit of slope. If anyone local thinks this is something they could advise and quote us for please get in touch. Thank you. ... See more

Gamlingay United need your support!
So it's the time we have all been waiting for. It's been a challenging summer but we are about to kick off the 2018/2019 season. The first team host HuntingdonUtdFC in the curtain raiser at the Eco Hub 6.15 kick off. Would be great to see some new faces down to support

Cycling
The Parish Council has been working hard behind the scenes for many years to secure funding for more cycle ways in and around Gamlingay, particularly to link the village with Potton and then on to our nearest station at Sandy. Each time a large planning application has been considered, the Council has asked for consideration to be given to a Section 106 contribution towards improving the local cycle network. In some cases this has been successful but we do not (yet) have sufficient funding to deliver a scheme. However, we are currently in discussions with SUSTRANS and other local organisations who are also working towards delivering cycleways to look at the feasibilty of a coordinated approach to move forward.

Ex WI hall site - Waresley Road
In April 2018 the Parish Council sold the site to Explorer Properties with planning permission for one dwelling. On the 10th August 2018 the current owners were granted permission by South Cambs District Council to erect a pair of semi detached houses instead. The Parish Council had objected to the application for two houses on highways safety grounds.
