Targeted Consultation as Part of Updated Community Facility Audit Starting on 4 November

The Greater Cambridge Planning Service and the Sustainable Communities and Wellbeing Team are jointly undertaking an updated Community Facilities Audit. As part of the audit we are consulting Local Parish Councils and other organisations who own or manage publicly accessible community facilities in the district. We will be sending a survey by email which seeks to gather information about community facilities in each village. The aim of the audit is to understand what publicly accessible community facilities are available in the district and identify if there are any barriers to their use or gaps in provision.

 

The consultation will run for 28 days from the 4th November until 2nd December. Please direct any queries to Duty.Communities@scambs.gov.uk
