I wholeheartedly support the application to designate S. Newnham as a Neighbourhood Area for the purposes of setting up a Neighbourhood Plan, because provides an ideal opportunity for the residents of South Newnham to be proactively involved in any decision making regarding the built, natural and social environment they live in and to shape it. Such involvement also assists the City Planners in reaching equitable and meaningful recommendations inasmuch as Neighbourhood Plans sit alongside the Local Plan. Finally, it marks an important part of the process whereby residents are recognised as central stakeholders in the changes taking place in Cambridge.
