Proposed New Community Pavilion
Recreation Green, High Street
The Swavesey Community Pavilion Project, with the support of the Parish Council, has been granted planning permission for a replacement sports pavilion on the Recreation Green. This will be a purpose-built, single storey, permanent building, just over twice the size of the existing pavilion but in the same position on the green. It will provide modern changing facilities for all sports events on the green, as well as a small community/committee room. Full plans can be viewed via the District Council's planning search website at:
SCDC Planning Application Search (search for Ref: S/0285/10/F)
or by contacting the Parish Council at clerk@swavesey.org.uk or Tel: 01954 202982
The project management committee has submitted grant funding applications and is now awaiting the results of these, which should be known during this Autumn.

EMERGENCY PLAN
South Cambs District Council has asked Parish Councils if they could assist them with emergency planning for the district by compiling a plan for the parish. The first step is to collect information about local resources that could prove to be essential in the event of an emergency situation within the parish.

How can you help?
We are looking for people with specialist skills such as medical training, language skills, people with tractors, quad bikes, generators etc all who feel that they could be able to contribute should the event arrive. We are also looking for people who could help with getting messages out to the community or can help in rest centres. All details will be kept confidentially and passed only to the District Council. If you feel you can help please contact the Parish Council or fill in and return the form which can be downloaded here.....

Market Street

The Parish Council is looking into what could be done to improve safety and parking arrangements in Market Street. It has been decided to defer full consultation on options until after the guided busway opens, as this may have a significant impact on the parking situation in Market Street. The situation is being reviewed by the Parish Council quarterly however Councillors would like to know your thoughts and comments on parking in Market Street.

Do you park there regularly? Either to visit the businesses there, to work there or because you live there?
Would you support double yellow lines to stop the verges being parked on?
Would you support marking up the central area with parking bays?
Do you think the High Street end of Market Street should formally become a one-way circular route?
Do you have any other comments or suggestions regarding the parking in Market Street?

Please send your comments to the Clerk to the Parish Council, 21 Thistle Green, Swavesey, CB24 4RJ or Email: clerk@swavesey.org.uk
