At the beginning of the year, double yellow lines were painted on junctions in the north of Queen Edith’s, in the streets on either side of Baldock Way. The County Council had also hoped to extend the double yellow lines on Nightingale Avenue near its junction with Queen Edith’s Way – something residents have been […]

It may be Christmas Eve but development goes on … and on. Today Cambridge City Council has published its agenda, which has two Queen Edith’s applications, on Mowbray Road and Baldock Way. The agenda also says there is one on Cavendish Avenue, but be assured this is a mistake! Here is the link: http://democracy.cambridge.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=181&MID=2606#AI13214 The […]

These are the County’s response to longstanding pressure from Lib Dem councillors over the years to address the saturation of our streets by commuters. The proposals are informed by comments made by residents […]
