North Cambridge Framework for Change (survey)

Open for comments from Wednesday 7 May to Wednesday 18 June.

Cambridge City Council wants to work with the local community to shape a Framework for Change for north Cambridge.

This framework builds on previous work, including the recently adopted North Cambridge neighbourhoods Design Code, which established principles for the area based on the community’s priorities.

The framework will guide improvements to homes, streets, green spaces, and local business and community facilities in Arbury, King’s Hedges and Chesterton. Hearing from local people will be vital.

This survey is part of a wider programme of engagement including workshops, pop-ups, school sessions, and interviews. It gives you the opportunity to share your thoughts, ideas, and concerns to help shape the future of these neighbourhoods.

The framework will consider themes including:

  • older council housing estates
  • parks and green spaces
  • Arbury Court and the surrounding community facilities
  • streets and travel

From Wednesday 7 May to Wednesday 18 June 2025, the council invite all residents to participate in a series of workshops, community conversations and online forums designed to gather ideas and feedback.

These sessions will allow participants to learn more about the project and share their thoughts.

Creating a cleaner, safer Arbury Road: donate NOW via the Big Give Green Match Fund by CamCycle

Ros Lund and the Arbury Road East Residents’ Association (ARERA) have been campaigning for a cleaner, safer street for several years now. They’d like to see the eastern end of Arbury Road become a more welcoming and attractive place for people walking, wheeling and cycling with less traffic, lower speeds and reduced air pollution.

Camcycle have been supporting ARERA with various aspects of their work, providing technical and campaigning advice, helping them apply for Local Highway Improvement Funding, conduct community engagement exercises, meet councillors and visualise ideas.

We work with groups like this across Cambridgeshire to help deliver routes that help more people choose active travel for their daily journeys, reducing carbon emissions and improving air quality and health for all.

We’re fundraising for this work now via The Big Give Green Match Fund. Donate today and DOUBLE your donation, helping achieve double the impact in a community near you.
