Big “Thank You” to Marjorie, Janet and Liz for organising another successful, and enjoyable “Tea at the Ritz”. With their team of efficient and polite waitresses and those working hard behind the scenes, they managed to pull off another memorable afternoon while raising money for village organisations.

The process of public consultation prior to submitting the plans for planning permission for the Trumpington Meadows primary school is now beginning. As the school will be in the Haslingfield Parish and will include community facilities for the village, it is therefore of interest even to residents without school-aged children.
The plans are not now going to be displayed in Waitroses’ foyer as it is felt that it is too close to Christmas and would be too crowded! However, they can now be viewed online at http://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/education/schools/planning/
Please send your thoughts and comments on these and other elements of the design proposals to robert.lewis@cambridgeshire.gov.uk, by Wednesday 5 January 2011.
