Cambridge Partnerships - thriving new communities

Creating communities where people want to live and choose to stay.

We are very aware that new communities do not exist in isolation. Existing communities may be some distance away or may be just over the road, but whatever the distance, residents will want to have their say in the long and complex planning process. We will work with those communities and will use the influence that we have to help all stakeholders to create and maintain facilities that will enhance, rather than compete with, existing facilities.

As the new communities begin to emerge we will also engage with the new residents, making sure that we welcome and involve them and meet their demands. This is a long-term commitment and will continue throughout the actual building of the developments and beyond.

Our community development staff will work with all residents, acting as a source of information, providing links to a wide range of statutory, public and voluntary organisations and helping residents to identify and act on their needs and aspirations. We will facilitate the setting up of local groups and support mechanisms that are crucial in the establishment of an inclusive, welcoming and sustainable community.
