What are your priorities for South Cambridgeshire District Council? Help shape the future…

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.

To complete the survey via an alternative format, such as using a printed copy or in an alternative language, please contact equality.schemes@scambs.gov.uk or call 01954 713 000.

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.
