The Parish Council has just been re-accredited as a Quality Council for a further 4 years. A portfolio was submitted to the Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Association of Local Councils panel which demonstrates that we have reached the standard required by passing several tests set by the National Association of Local Councils. These are:
- Electoral Mandate
- Qualifications of the clerk
- Council meetings
- Communication and Community Engagement
- Annual Report
- Accounts
- Code of Conduct
- Promoting local democracy and citizenship
- Terms and conditions
- Training

NEW SOLAR LAMP
After many attempts at getting a street lamp by the Lincoln Rd bus stop at the end of the Willow/Style footpath a new solar lamp has been installed and was paid for from the Rural North Neighbourhood Committee Capital Fund.
Contacting the Police
“A new national non-emergency number 101 will come into effect in Cambridgeshire from September. This non-emergency number can be used for reporting a stolen car, criminal damage, minor traffic accidents or to give Police information about crime in the area. 999 should still be used in a emergency, such as when a crime is in progress, or if there’s a danger to life or violence is being used or threatened.”
