We need a major debrief on why the village has lost the proposed children's centre at the lower school. Seems extraordinary given the strength and qualities of the head teacher, the commitment of the chair of governors and a senior councillor on their governing body. No planning application was turned down but it seems they were out of time. However I understand the funding for this centre then went elsewhere. It would be good to know where the funding was allocated - and why the situation could not be retrieved. This is a major disaster.
Denison land (part of home farm) - being developed separately (report at Persimmon stakeholder meeting) we need to establish if this has any implications for the community building. [The chair of planning has since told me that Persimmon are still committed to buying this land and she would supply more information at the meeting]
Health Centre - see Dr Marcus Thomas's letter in the last Cranfeld Express (below). We are in danger of seeing a major tranche of Home Farm S106 money (health facilities) unused and returned to the developer unless we start to challenge the status quo and ask some searching questions. It will need our CB councillors as well as ourselves saying this is not acceptable. A solution must be found.
An old favourite: Any progress on the traffic calming?
