ART in DUXFORD

Your Parish Council has a fund to introduce art into the village. Some of the money was spent on the beautiful barriers into the Biggen heritage area, but we have a significant pot of money left over, which must be spent before the end of 2022.

We have received 4 proposals, all very different, but all meeting the criteria for the fund. A description of each can be found in the links below and we invite your comments before making the final decision at our next meeting on 8th July.

We have sufficient money to support 2 or 3 out of the 4 proposals, depending on their final cost, so would very much like to hear your 2 preferred options. You can email the clerk directly clerk@duxfordvillage.com or use the ‘contact us’ tab above.

New Welch’s Heritage Centre

Welch’s Transport currently has a number of vintage vehicles on
site which they would like to conserve and display in a heritage
centre. The initial users of the heritage centre will be guests and
clients of the company with a potential for the exhibits to be made
more widely available to view in the future, subject to further review
by the owners and any need for permissions, etc.

City 7 route amendments

From Sunday 11th April
In response to passenger feedback, we will be making some changes to the Citi 7 route around the Biomedical Campus.
Buses will now serve Robinson Way and Francis Crick Avenue in both directions.
Buses will no longer stop on Dame Mary Archer Way, but there are alternative stops outside of the Rosie Maternity Unit which are closer for campus staff to access.
Frequency: Buses will operate every 20 minutes Monday-Saturday daytime between Cambridge and Sawston and every 60 minutes through to Saffron Walden.
Buses will operate every 60 minutes Monday-Saturday evenings and Sundays between Cambridge and Sawston.
Please note that some stops listed on the timetable are shaded orange, this means that these timings are approximate.
