Proposed residential development on land off Mill Road, Buckden - Public consultation by Gladman, Land Agents
The Parish Council is aware that many residents are concerned by the recent leaflet drop from Gladman suggesting
a new development on Mill Road. The Council and Offord Parish Council share your concerns. The area is not includ-
ed in the proposed Huntingdon Local Plan and the Council will strongly oppose any such development. It suggests
that residents do not reply to Gladman’s request for comments but feed all of their thoughts to the Parish Clerk so
that the Council can take action at the appropriate time.
Speedwatch
If you are interested in becoming one of the growing number of Speedwatch volunteers, the next training is on 14
th
July at Cambourne Police Station. Please contact the Clerk for details.
New councillors
We are very fortunate to have recruited three new councillors, Sue Ashwell, Hamish Masson (who is also our District
Councillor, of course) and Elaine Scott. All three councillors have particular areas of interest and we are looking for-
ward to their contributions to council business. We now only have one council space remaining. If you feel that you
would like to join the Buckden Parish Council, and take a part in influencing decisions in your community, please
contact the Clerk.
