Dear All,

Guy Belcher,Nature Conservation Officer at the city council has asked 
usto help promote this invite to view a potential new public open space 
for the City:

Please see attached for information about three planned guided tours of 
the Coldham’s Lane / Cherry Hinton lakes, that are being organised by 
the City Council.

Thursday 24th September 14.30—16.00

Tuesday 29th September 12.30—14.00

Saturday 3rd October 10.30—12.00

Policy 15 in the draft Local Plan includes the potential to open this 
currently private site for quiet recreation. Preliminary ideas about the 
opening of the lakes are likely to be discussed at the following Area 
Committee Meetings:

o             South Area Committee 5 October

o             East Area Committee meeting 29 October

The guided walks are intended to give members of the public an 
opportunity to get a better understanding of the lakes, so that they can 
give well informed opinions on the proposals.

I thought you might like to promote this to pupils and parents. They 
will need to register to attend one of the walks at 
Parks at cambridge.gov.uk <mailto:Parks at cambridge.gov.uk>or by calling 
01223 458532

uneven

any onsite instructions
