We’ve been asked to tell Friends that the Government is launching a major consultation about a proposed new organisation called the Urban Development Corporation (UDC) for Greater Cambridge. This is important to all of us because the new body would take over key planning functions for major developments from our local Councils, shifting decision-making power from locally elected representatives to a government-appointed board.
Cambridge Past, Present and Future (CPPF) are holding an event about the proposal at Wolfson College (Lee Seng Tee Hall) on Monday 23 March, 7-8:30. There will be a panel discussion and then a Q&A session.
Whether you can or can’t attend the meeting, please look at the Government website and respond to the Consultation, which is open until 1 April 2026. Here is the link to it:
