Lying just north of Melbourn and the A10 Royston to Cambridge road and some 10 miles from Cambridge itself, the community has about 2400 inhabitants.The village is linear in form being over 2 miles in length with a railway station at one end and the church at the other. Roughly speaking the geographical and social centre of the village is around the village store where the village hall, the junior school and the public house and the bulk of housing lie. The Greenwich Meridian runs through the village.
The Parish Council meets in the village hall on the evening of the first Thursday in each month at 7.30pm. Members of the public are welcome to attend. Planning Meetings are held when planning information is received from South Cambridgehire District Council. For details see the Parish Council noticeboards in the village.
There appears to be little information relevant to the structure and operation of the parish council. |
