Comments on Gritting during cold spell
To ensure that all the lessons of the ice and snow during the recent cold snap are learned, the Liberal Democrat group on the County Council are surveying people's experiences across the County.
The deadline for this is a meeting on March 25 when the LibDem's will push the County for better planning, and better provision for cyclists and pedestrians.
To ensure that an accurate picture is available at the meeting the LibDem's want to hear your experience of the response to the snow and ice, positive or negative. You can contribute at a new website, or if you'd rather email or call one of the local LibDem team in the usual way.

Tories Won't Face Residents
For the second time one of the Conservative County Councillor's responsible for decisions that affect King's Hedges has refused to attend meetings open to the public in Cambridge.
The County Cabinet member for transport, Tory Matt Bradney and aleading officer have turned down the opportunity to answer questionsat the city's North Area Committee on March 19.
In part this is because they would have been challenged by residents on the decision not to allowthe bus to stop on Histon Road and Milton Road so that "it canprovide a fast reliable service with only limited stops" forpassengers living along the A14 corridor.
The only option for residents is to ask Councillor's to take questions to the closed County meetings.
This follows Tory Martin Curtis' refusal to answer questions on cuts to provision for vulnerable children in Cambridge.

North Area Committee this week
On Thursday this week (22 January) is the next North Area Committee at the Manor School on Arbury Road.
Apparently we are in a different room so if you wish to attend look out for signs.
Planning is at 6.30pm with applications in Milton Road, Hertford St and Ramsden Square.
The main meeting starts at 7.30pm with the Open Forum (your chance to ask questions of local councillors) and an item on Environmental Improvements.
Unfortunately Tory County Cllr Martin Curtis has turned down his invitation to speak to justify the cuts to many Children's services in Cambridge. He will be asked again!
Do come along if you can make it!

Hawkins Road improvements
City Homes are about to start consultation on works to improve the Hawkins Road area, including Wilson, Atkins and Larkin.
If you live in the Hawks area then please use the consulation to let City Homes know your view on the proposed works.
The results of consultations are very important: proposed changes to recycling in Nuns Way were changed recently following a big response to consultation and the work of your local LibDem City Councillors.
The improvements are part of the Cambridge Standard Improvement Programme of the City Council which aims to raise the standard of the City's Council House stock. Whilst we're on the topic I must mention (again!) the superb inspection result. I have been told that the report is the best given to a council who retain their stock!
