“Cricket Club's success” - Cambourne Information

CAMBOURNE PARISH COUNCIL
District of South Cambridgeshire
Street Lighting
The Parish Council would like to ensure that street lights are fully working especially now that evenings are drawing in.
This is not necessarily straight forward as there are so many different responsible contractors.
Normally in villages reports would be made - just to the County Council.
In Cambourne the consortium are responsible for the main spine roads identified by the taller columns such as in School Lane,
Jeavons Lane, Monkfield Lane, Greenhaze Lane, Back Lane, Eastgate, Sterling Way and Brace Dein.
Individual builders such as Bovis, Taylor Wimpey, Persimmon, Charles Church, Bloor etc are responsible for housing area
roads and footpaths. Bollard lighting is the responsibility of residents living adjacent.
You are welcome to contact them yourselves, however all you need to do is contact the clerk who will acknowledge your
enquiry and contact the right one. It can still take a while, but you can be assured that action is being taken. If necessary a
system of tagging will be introduced. Councillor Dominic Plunkett has done an initial survey and identified 180 lights that are
out.

Cambourne’s Little Helpers
For most young people the start of the summer holidays means a chance to
rest and relax, but this was not the case for young people from Cambourne
church, who have been helping out in the community. Over one weekend
they helped out in two people's gardens (weeding, mowing the lawn etc) and
helped a family move house.
If you would like help with anything
whether it be gardening, lifting, computer
skills or whatever you can think of,
contact Jon Sanders (Cambourne church
youth worker) on 07729977463 or
jono_sanders@hotmail.com
The young people will always have two
adult leaders with them to supervise and
help out.
