Proposed Improvements within the Parish
The Council holds CIL money which is to be used for the development and benefit of Woodditton Parish. East Cambridge District Council has published guidelines on this money and its uses. The ideas below are suggestions from both the Parish Council and Woodditton's Parishoners. Please use the link at the bottom of this page to voice your opinion.
Closing date 1st October 2018.
Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL)
CIL money, see East Cambs District Council: www.eastcambs.gov.uk/planning/cil-frequently-asked-questions
Portable speed cameras
These cameras are mounted onto lamp posts and collect information which can be downloaded and saved. We have identified several sites within the Parish where these may help to calm traffic. The collected information will be useful, more permanent solutions to speeding require Highways to be provided with detailed information, something we do not already possess.
The council proposes the purchase of two camera and two battery packs. these will be sited in a problem area for 1 month and then moved to another location.

Additional gateways
The council is discussing further "Gateways" on roads leading into the Parish. The new gateways will be made from recycled material and will not require painting.
Defribrillators
The burnt defibrillator attached to The Three Blackbirds has to be removed and returned to the suppliers for a partial refund. This cannot happen until the site is safe. Once refunded, and once a new site has been found, the council will purchase another defibrillator.
Development of the Amenity Field
A sport fitness trail has been suggested for the perimeter of the field. This will hopefully attract more people to use this facility.
Environmental Projects
Nesting boxes in various locations are being considered at the moment. The latest idea is Swift boxes mounted in St Marys.
