Covid community update – Tier 4 announcement

The Government has announced that Cambridgeshire is moving into Tier 4 restrictions from 12.01am on Saturday 26 December.

I had hoped that the previous update would be the last until the New Year but we wanted to share with you all what this announcement will mean.

Firstly, the change does not affect Christmas Day. People can still choose to mix with two other households. However, as we have stressed before, the fact that people are allowed to do that does not mean you should. Less mixing and shorter celebrations will minimise the risk to loved ones and help ensure Coronavirus is not passed on. Please do share our Facebook posts within your communities to help encourage people to spend their Christmas Day as safely as possible:

Haslingfield Christmas

The members of the Haslingfield webteam wish all our visitors a very merry Christmas and a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.

Haslingfield Greenway – Great News!

The Haslingfield Greenway has been given the go-ahead by the Greater Cambridge Partnership with £8M funding. We will have 2 new cycle paths. One running from Cantelupe Road to Grantchester crossing the M11 at the footbridge and joining Grantchester at Burnt Close. It then runs along Grantchester Road to Newnham. The other starts at Porkers Lane and runs along the existing bridleway to Hauxton. Both schemes require considerable work by the GCP team so completion will possibly not be until 2025. You can read full details of the scheme at:

I will be in continuous contact with the GCP team throughout the implementation and will be very happy to pass on comments or suggestions

Firstly, thanks for your pre-order and support on the project, it is great that you can all see the benefit in having the next generation of broadband brought to the village.
