Residents, local organisations and community groups are invited to come together to join the conversation on the future of north Cambridge.
Building on the conversations that have taken place through the Framework for Change for North Cambridge and ongoing engagement with residents about regeneration and investment in the area, this event will provide an opportunity to find out more about projects happening locally, meet the people behind them and share your views on the future of the neighbourhood.
The event follows a summer of community conversations, including discussions held at Arbury Carnival, where teams from Cambridge City Council came together to talk with residents about local priorities and emerging plans for North Cambridge.
