Barton, Coton, Grantchester and Madingley issues
Barton, Coton, Grantchester and Madingley are represented at the District Council by Conservative Councillor Francis Burkitt.
Grantchester Post Office Closure
Thank you to residents who have written to Fiona with concerns and comments about the proposed closure of Grantchester Post Office.
Fiona says, “We have campaigned so often to keep our Post Offices. But the 3000 closed by this Government added to the 2500 closed by the last Conservative one is a disaster for rural areas. We must push for mobile post services to be extended to Grantchester.”
Lib Dem leader at the County Council, David Jenkins, has urged the Council’s chief executive to revisit the subject of post office closures in light of the economic recession.
Christmas rubbish collections
South Cambs District Council has reviewed its operating schedule for waste collection over the 2008/09 Christmas and New Year period. Over the festive period, collection of domestic refuse and recycling will be as normal, with adjusments for the bank holidays. The final timetable is available on-line (www.scambs.gov.uk), in the South Cambs Magazine and from the Contact Centre. If you have a clinical and/or trade waste agreement you will be notified separately of any changes to the collection rota.
