Latest updates on Alconbury Weald in Autumn 2024 newsletter
- 21.11.2024
Hello and welcome to our Autumn 2024 newsletter, with updates on the latest news and developments at Alconbury Weald.
There’s been lots happening around Alconbury Weald in the last few months. Our key highlights for the first phase of the development include the new Watch Office Bar and Kitchen opening soon, plans progressing for an interim healthcare facility and work starting on the new community garden and allotments for a spring opening.
Alconbury Weald’s second phase has been cleared for take-off, with planning consent for 1,500 homes on the Grange Farm area of the development and progress on the delivery of the 150 acre Prestley Park. Work will start on the delivery of the Southern Gateway to Alconbury Weald in the coming weeks. This will connect the development’s central Boulevard with the A141 and when fully completed provide direct access into and from Huntingdon.
We’re also starting to make progress on the Heritage Area coming forward in Phase 3 of the development. In this edition of Make/News we share information on some of the listed buildings, why they are important, what will happen to them and how they will be managed as the Heritage Area is developed.
Alconbury Weald has a dynamic community with a wide range of clubs and classes catering for all ages and abilities taking place weekly. We also host a range of events throughout the year supported by our active and enthusiastic Community Association.
Recent highlights have included the Food Festival, Heritage Open Day and Scarecrow Festival. We’re looking forward to the Christmas Market, which is taking place from midday to 4pm on Saturday, 30 November in The Glade. It promises to be full of festive gifts, goodies and treats. We hope to see you there!
In this edition of the newsletter, we also share the latest news from the nursery, primary school and recently opened special education needs (SEN) school, as well as updates from Alconbury Weald Campus and our latest initiatives to support sustainable travel.
We hope you find this Make|News interesting and informative. If you have any queries, or have any ideas for future editions, please let us know.
