Cambridge Leisure – a cumulative impact area

by admin on 9 February, 2011

Cambridge Leisure
Many of us enjoy a drink, a trip to the cinema, or a meal out – and the facilities at Cambridge Leisure have provided much more to do ‘on the doorstep’
However, it is a sad fact that where there are additional licensed premises, there tends to be more noise and disorder – undesirable for anyone walking through the area, even more so for those living close by.

Cambridge Leisure on Clifton Road is legally a ‘cumulative impact area’, meaning new drinks licences will only be granted if it can be proved there will not be a harmful effect on residents of the area. Police are consulting on whether the area should be extended to take in the bits of Cherry Hinton Road joining Hills Road to Clifton Road and Purbeck Road.

South Area meeting
You can hear more about this at the next South Area meeting, on 3rd March at Homerton College. The police will be reporting on recent crime, and proposing policing priorities for the next three months.You are invited to comment and tell them about any issues.
There will also be planning applications.
For an agenda, see the City Council’s website.
