Smart Journeys, a project co-led by Cambridgeshire County Council (CCC), is conducting the 2024 Big Commuter Survey from Monday 14 October to Sunday 27 October. Anyone completing the survey can be entered into a prize draw.

The Big Commuter Survey aims to help Smart Journeys and CCC better understand how residents and employees across Cambridgeshire currently commute and their future travel needs. The data collected will guide improvements to the transport network, ensuring that we focus on the most effective areas for both residents and businesses. It will also provide valuable insights to support sustainable travel initiatives and influence future public transport decisions across the county.

Their goal is to make Cambridgeshire a greener, more sustainable place to live by offering safer, healthier travel options. Commuting habits have shifted in recent years, and they want to learn more about how people are now getting to and from work. This will help them plan for enhancements, such as additional walking and cycling routes.

They want to ensure every resident has a chance to contribute.

Residents and businesses are being asked to help shape South Cambridgeshire District Council’s plans for the years ahead – to help ensure the area remains one of the best places to live and work in the country.

South Cambridgeshire District Council has identified five key priorities to help achieve its goals. Councillors now want to hear the views of local people so they can help influence the production of a full Corporate Plan for 2025 and beyond. This Plan, when finalised, will set out the actions, initiatives and strategies the Council will work through to meet its targets.

You can view the plans in more detail and have your say.

Anyone who completes the survey will have the chance to be entered into a prize draw to win one of two £50 One4All vouchers.

Families, students and older people are all being encouraged to have their say on the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority’s bus franchising consultation.

Running until 20 November 2024, it will inform a decision by the Mayor of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough on how to reform buses across the area.

A series of drop-in events will be taking place in September and October. The events will give people the opportunity to meet members of the consultation team in person, share their views about local bus services face-to-face and give feedback in the consultation.

Dates and times, as well as detailed location and travel information, can be found on the consultation website: https://cpca-yourvoice.co.uk/bus-franchising-consultation/key-events/
