Real time information — the lit-up displays at bus stops that tell you when the buses are on their way — are good examples of bus companies and councils working together, and they are very useful if you’re trying to decide which bus to take, or whether it’s quicker to walk. I know that because […]

Dear Cllr Taylor, Apologies for the delay in getting this display up and running. Our
contractor’s engineers did inspect the site almost immediately. It was found that there
was a power failure to the shelter, which has burnt the main fuse to both the shelter and
the display. Because this is not part of the display’s circuitry, our contractors were
neither able nor authorized to replace the fuse. I have since then been in contact with
the Street Lighting team at the council, who as well is not responsible for power to
shelters, and we have sourced a certified electrician to do the job. I am expecting that
they will visit the shelter sometime next week, and let me know what the outcome is.
Hopefully this should be sorted out next week, but if there are any further delays, I will
let you know.

A car has been left on the corner of Gunhild Close for the past four weeks. One of our Focus deliverers reported it to me and the Council will now be taking action to have it removed. If you notice any abandoned vehicles, ring the City Council on 458282.

These meetings are open to the public. The South Area covers Queen Edith’s, Cherry […]

I have recently received fresh complaints about litter and disturbance caused by Addenbrooke’s staff on the streets near the hospital. Although staff were given a smoking area after complaints when the hospital site went smoke-free, they continue to gather in neighbouring streets to smoke.  Residents of Greenlands and Red Cross Lane have been in touch […]
