Parking Enforcement Works in Comberton

Cambridgeshire County Council (CCC), in partnership with South Cambridgeshire District (SCDC) and the Greater Cambridge Partnership (GCP) have resolved to bring Civil Parking Enforcement (CPE) to the District of South Cambridgeshire.

CPE, is a system of parking governance that allows the Highway Authority, CCC, the power to carry out parking enforcement using its own agents rather than relying on the Constabulary to provide that function.

In order to be able to carry out this service, surveys have been undertaken of the condition of the regulatory signs and lines on the highway within the District. The signs and lines need to be in an enforceable condition.

CCC Highways Service operators will be working in the area, either maintaining or installing regulatory equipment.

Dates are as follows:

9th-10th March

Barton Road
Fox’s Way
Harbour Avenue

5th-6th April

Barton Road
Harbour Avenue

One might expect restricted parking near to the line remarking areas so look for warning signs.

Wildlife Survey – help needed urgently

The Parish Council would like to use your local knowledge to do their wildlife survey around the large field south of Branch Road proposed by Endurance Estates to build a 200 unit retirement ‘village’.

They would be grateful for information regarding any wildlife sightings or records made in the last 2 years, both in the main field, the orchard area, the Recreation Ground and its extension or adjacent fields/properties/roads.

Please read their Wildlife Survey request for more details and help protect the village from unwanted major developments
