A public exhibition has been announced of East Cambridgeshire District Council’s controversial proposals to build eleven dwellings in Barton Road car park in Ely.

The plans include moving coach parking from Barton Road, temporarily to Lancaster Way, then to the new leisure centre on the A10.  A number of public car parking spaces will also be lost.

The exhibition will take place at Ely Library:

• Thursday 21 July, 9:30am-7:00pm
• Friday 22 July, 9:30am-5:00pm
• Saturday 23 July, 9:30am-4:00pm

Further details here.

The housing on the site has not yet been given planning permission. The properties will be developed by the council’s trading arm, East Cambridgeshire Trading Company – trading as Palace Green Homes.  The money from the development is earmarked for the new leisure centre.
