Grafham to Brampton Quietway Pilot Project – Sustrans Statement
“The Brampton Quietway team at Sustrans and Cambridge-shire County Council appreciate all the time and effort resi-dents gave in attending the two engagement workshops in Brampton and Grafham. We are in the process of collating and analysing that feedback.
In January, we will be carrying out additional, less formal engagement with residents in the wider area as well as speaking with local stakeholder groups. In February, we will be holding two design workshops (one in Brampton and one in Grafham) to share the feedback received to date and develop ideas for addressing some of the issues you’ve raised. These design solutions will be developed in collaboration with you and then trialled.
The design workshops in February will be advertised via the project website, posters in the local area, and through communications from your local councillor representatives.”
“Exciting Update: Electric Vehicle Charging Point Coming to Grafham!”
Huntingdonshire District Council have been working with Grafham Council to explore the option for installing electric vehicle charge points in a location that Grafham Parish Council own. The Parish Council is delighted to announce that a twin charging point will soon be installed in the Village Hall car park, with a lease currently being finalised!
Users will incur a fee for accessing the charge points, with the pricing determined by Huntingdonshire District Council. The rate will be established based on the following principles: – Covering the costs of ongoing maintenance and service fees – Covering the costs of energy consumption.
The charge points are not intended to serve as a revenue-generating initiative for Huntingdonshire District Council.
Stay tuned for more updates.
