5\/6\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 County Councillors Report\/ District Councillors Report \u2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>Potholes are still a major problem, 7 gangs are out each day doing repairs.\u00a0 By late February, 1592 had been reported compared with 300 last year!\u00a0 Concerns are being expressed by some residents\u00a0about accommodating a third wheelie bin, refusal of a bin is being investigated.<\/p>\n

SCDC has agreed a 2.995% increase in council tax, the County Council 2.9% and Fire and Police authorities a similar figure.\u00a0 Council tenants will see an average rise in\u00a0their rent of 2.7% .\u00a0 The CEO of SCDC Greg Harlock and Cambridgeshire\u2019s Chief Constable\u00a0Julie Spence have both resigned to take effect in September.\u00a0 Guided Bus<\/strong> – Stagecoach have\u00a0repainted the slogans on their buses from \u2018\u2019 I\u2019ll be on the Busway soon \u2018\u2019 to \u2018\u2019Will I be on the\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Busway soon?\u2019\u2019.\u00a0 This project has now overrun by \u00a341M.\u00a0 CEMEX will shortly be submitting a\u00a0planning application to restore part of the quarry for agricultural use.\u00a0 The proposed funding by\u00a0the government for introducing a congestion charge has now been withdrawn.\u00a0 A new \u2018Urban Challenge Fund\u2019 is to be introduced.\u00a0Quote from the minister below\u00a0\u201cclear and measurable benefits for urban<\/span><\/strong> areas in terms of: enhanced mobility through offering people wider choices for their journeys; reduced congestion and increased journey time reliability; better health as a result of improved safety and much greater levels of walking and cycling; streets and public spaces which are enjoyable places to be, where exposure to harmful emissions is reduced\u00a0 and where quality of life is transformed, improved safety; and reduced level of carbon emission from transport.<\/p>\n

The Fund will support packages of measures designed to deliver all of these benefits.\u00a0The packages are likely to include a combination of sustainable travel<\/a> measures, investment to encourage modal shift and better bus services alongside demand management measures, better and city-wide traffic management and improved street design. Acting together, these measures will deliver a step change in the local economy, the health of urban residents and the environment they enjoy.<\/p>\n

The new Fund will replace the Transport Innovation Fund. Work by a number of authorities showed that a combination of measures was necessary to tackle the problem of congestion and could deliver wider benefits to local communities, the urban economy and environment.\u00a0TIF also encouraged new thinking in a number of areas, for example on a phased and incremental approach to demand management. Its weaknesses lay in its too narrow a focus on the issue of congestion, the failure to win public acceptance for the more challenging proposals and inability to transform governance at the same time as delivering radical change.\u00a0The new Fund will draw on the lessons from TIF and the new ideas that have come forward.\u201d End of quote\u2026\u2026..<\/p>\n

So this says to us that there will be no recognition of the rural<\/strong> issues facing us. If you were hoping for improvements to our bus services in any meaningful sense I fear that your hopes are to be dashed. This in particular will impact on rural communities such as Barrington, Gamlingay and the Eversdens as the bus services reduce because of the focus placed on Cambourne. Needless to say we will carry on campaigning for a proper rural bus service.<\/p>\n
