Mobile Library Service to be reduced

Cambridgeshire County Council, like all local authorities, is facing a very difficult future economically due to the national recession, and as a result all services are required to make significant budget savings over the next 3 financial years. In Libraries this means saving more than Ł2 million, more than a quarter of the total budget.
Mobile Library staff have looked very carefully at the use made of the service and the needs within communities, and have designed a completely new set routes for a reduced number of vehicles and staff.
In the case of Great Chishill this means that the service will operate at one location, the Church, on a monthly basis, 2nd Friday of the month, 1.25 to 2.05
Comments may be sent to Ally Clarke, Mobile Libraries Manager, Ascham Site, Ascham Road, Cambridge CB4 2BD, email ally.clarke@cambridgeshire.gov.uk; or telephone 01223 718356 by 16th August

Footpath and Byways Hedging

Our Footpath Officer would like to remind or inform everyone who has property which borders a footpath/bridleway/byway that it is their responsibilty to keep their hedges cut so that they do not restrict the passage of walkers, horse riders or, in the case of the byway, vehicles.

Take me to the airport

With the cost of flights being so low, we now find that the cost of getting to the airport and/or parking the car can cost more than the flight, or at least be a significant part of the journey cost. In June 2007 we set up the 'Airport Club'. This is a 'self help' group in which a user gets a 'free' journey to the airport in return for taking someone else.
When you join the group you are allocated 6 points. Every time you take someone to the airport (Stansted or Luton) you get a point and everytime you are taken you lose a point. Phil Maynard is the point of contact - email him with your requirements and he finds someone available. All 'deals' are confidential.
To date, there have been 79 requests for transport and only once has it not been possible to supply. Obviously, the more people who are in the group the easier it is to satisfy all needs, so if you think that you would like to join, email Phil for more details.
