Today saw a small exhibition at the council offices in Ely about community land trusts as a way of providing affordable housing locally.  There are already a number in operation in East Cambridgeshire, not least in Soham and an emerging community land trust development in Stretham, but none yet in Sutton.

And after a meeting of the council’s Regulatory & Support Services Committee – more of which later – I also managed to attend the exhibition at Ely College of developer Turnstone’s proposals for a multiplex cinema, swimming pool and fast food restaurants on the A10 at Downham Road, Ely, next to the present sports grounds.
