Latest updates on Alconbury Weald in Summer 2023 newsletter

Latest updates on Alconbury Weald in Summer 2023 newsletter. The latest edition of the Alconbury Weald newsletter - Make|News - is being delivered to residents and the surrounding communities to keep them up to date with all the latest development news as well as information on recent and upcoming events and activities.

Alconbury Weald’s first local centre, The Glade, is taking shape with the Co-op on track for a summer opening. This is an important milestone in delivering the services and facilities residents needs as the development grows, and builds on the facilities within the Club (the gym and library), The Pavilion and Bohemia bar/bistro. The Urban&Civic team continue to listen to and work with residents to ensure the best possible development for everyone living at Alconbury Weald.

This edition of Make|News, also provides feedback on the Quality of Life survey. This survey — undertaken independently by the Quality of Life Foundation — is part of Urban&Civic’s commitment to supporting good health and active lifestyles as part of the development, and is part of Alconbury Weald’s and the Company’s Sustainability Framework commitments. It also provides rich feedback on a range of issues that, working with residents, will help us continue to evolve our design, delivery and activation of future development.

Creating homes in nature is a priority at Alconbury Weald and the development is supporting a wide range of wildlife through new planting and biodiversity enhancements. The community has been playing their part as well, with local families helping plant the new woodland to celebrate the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, which was formally opened during King Charles III’s Coronation weekend.

The community team has also been supporting the next generation and recently held a Make Your Mark event for female students in Huntingdonshire to highlight the wide range of career paths and opportunities for young women in the world of development, construction, property and the built environment. Alconbury Weald’s business community is thriving, with the first phase of the Campus nearing completion: over 1 million sq ft of commercial space has been developed across eight buildings and is home to 12 companies employing over 1,000 staff. In addition, work is progressing at pace on Magpas Air Ambulance’s purpose-built airbase and headquarters.

The local community at Alconbury Weald is also going from strength to strength, with an active Community Association supporting a range of events throughout the year including the recent Coronation weekend celebrations and Open Garden event, and the forthcoming Scarecrow Festival.
