Addenbrooke's Road/Cambridge Biomedical Campus Traffic Regulation Order (TRO)
updated 22 May 2017
Addenbrooke's Road provides road access from Trumpington to the Cambridge Biomedical Campus (CBC) and Addenbrooke's Hospital, but
is not a through route. The use of the ANPR cameras was reintroduced on 22 May 2017. See the statement on the CBC and Cambridgeshire
Constabulary websites.
The Trumpington Residents' Association has also issued a statement on the Addenbrooke's Road/Cambridge Biomedical Campus Traffic
Regulation Order:
1. Addenbrooke's Road was constructed to give access to Addenbrooke's Hospital and the Cambridge Biomedical Campus and the Glebe
Farm and Clay Farm housing developments. Planning approval for the road was given on this basis, after recommendations in the Southern
Fringe Area Development Framework which was approved by the local councils in 2006 and supported by the TRA.
2. The roads within the Campus have been and have remained private roads, not for public use as through routes.
3. When Addenbrooke's Road opened in 2010, the County Council approved a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) allowing the Campus
authorities and the police to monitor vehicles leaving Addenbrooke's Road to enter the Campus site and to issue penalty notices to drivers
who used the Campus roads as a through route.
4. In late 2014, it was established that there were flaws in the wording of the original TRO and the police stopped enforcing it but the
Campus roads continued to have private status and should not have been used as a through route.
5. The County Council, Campus authorities and police have now established a new TRO and are re-imposing the controls on the use of the
private roads within the Campus by through traffic.
6. The TRA fully supported the original decision to limit the use of Addenbrooke's Road to being an access road to the Campus and the
housing developments and not part of a through route around the south of Cambridge. The TRA fully supports the re-imposition of controls
on the private roads within the Campus by through traffic.
7. The TRA realises that the consequence of the re-imposition of the TRO will be additional traffic and congestion in Trumpington and
additional journey lengths for some local residents. We will continue to press the councils, City Deal and Campus authorities for effective
action to improve this situation through better road management, bus and Busway services - including a local bus service within
Trumpington and to the Campus - and Park & Ride services.

No additional homes or 'sporting village' at Trumpington Meadows
updated 29 June 2017
Cambridge City Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council are developing new Local Plans. During the consultation on these plans,
there has been widespread opposition in Trumpington, the city and neighbouring villages to the potential development of 520 homes and a
sports complex in a Green Belt location off Hauxton Road, Trumpington (Trumpington Meadows). In the draft Cambridge Local Plan, the
City Council has concluded that it is "not satisfied that a compelling case exists for the need for a community stadium in a Green Belt
location" and "Opportunities have been taken at Trumpington to shape a new Green Belt edge, which enhances the landscape setting of the
city, as well as enhancing opportunities for recreational access" (Draft Local Plan, paras 2.56 and 2.59). Local residents have welcomed
these conclusions against any further development in the local Green Belt. See the page about the threatened additional developments.
Despite the protection of the area as part of the Green Belt and the omission of the idea from the draft Local Plans, Grosvenor pursued its
proposal for a sporting village in the Green Belt between Trumpington and Hauxton and submitted a planning application for the development
on 25 July 2016. After nearly a year of assessment, the planning application was withdrawn in June 2017, see latest news from the District
Council. See also previous statement from the District Council, the Council's planning system (search for application S/1925/16/OL) and the
Grosvenor Cambridge Community Sporting Company project website.
Street naming award
updated 6 December 2013
On 21 November 2013, the Mayor of Cambridge, Councillor Paul Saunders, presented awards to the Trumpington Residents' Association
and the Trumpington Local History Group to commemorate the way the City Council and the two groups have worked together in the
naming of streets in the new housing developments (Clay Farm, Glebe Farm and Trumpington Meadows).
Trumpington History Trails
updated 25 November 2016

updated 25 September 2012

Education provision
updated 5 December 2016
The Children's Centre at Fawcett School serves the Southern Fringe, as a base for services in Newnham, Hauxton and parts of the Shelfords
as well as Trumpington.
The County Council is supporting an extension to Fawcett School, new primary schools at Trumpington Meadows and Clay Farm and a
new secondary school at Clay Farm. As part of the consultation process, it produced a background document, with information about
existing educational provision, forecasts for future needs, details of the new educational facilities and the statutory process for establishing
these facilities.
The plans for Trumpington Park Primary School (Clay Farm) were approved in September 2016. The school is under construction and
due to open in September 2017.
Trumpington Meadows Primary School opened in September 2013. The school is part of a federation with Fawcett Primary School.
The City of Cambridge Education Foundation is responsible for Trumpington Community College. The planning application for the school
was approved on 17 April 2013 and students moved to the new site in September 2016. The College includes Trumpington Sport, indoor
and outdoor sports facilities for community use.
Marketing name of the Clay Farm and Glebe Farm developments
updated 29 November 2014
In October 2010, Countryside Properties announced that it would use 'Great Kneighton' as the marketing name for Clay Farm and Glebe
Farm. The Residents' Association strongly disagreed with the decision on the marketing name, which is an inappropriate and historically
inaccurate name which detracts from the community's sense of place and belonging. The Association will continue to work with Councillors
and officers in Cambridge City Council to ensure that the development is integrated into the existing community of Trumpington and that the
area and facilities within the new developments are named appropriately.

Bus services in Trumpington
updated 2 April 2018
A new Stagecoach bus service, number 25, started on 7 January 2018. This provides links within Trumpington and between Trumpington
and the Cambridge Biomedical Campus/Addenbrooke's Hospital, including going along Hobson Avenue/Lime Avenue, passing the Clay Farm
Centre and Trumpington Community College. The route goes eastbound from the High Street (Anstey Way bus stop) down Shelford Road,
turn left on to Addenbooke’s Road, turn left along Hobson Avenue and Lime avenue through the Clay Farm developments of Abode, Aura
and Halo, turn right on to Long Road, to Addenbrooke’s bus station; from where it will do the westbound route via Dame Mary Archer Way
and Addenbrooke’s Road, along Hobson Avenue and Lime Avenue again, to Long Road and Trumpington High Street and the Anstey Way
bus stop again. This has been referred to as the “figure of eight” service. The Residents' Association has been heavily involved in pressing
for the introduction of this service.
Unfortunately, Stagecoach's cut Citi 7 and other bus services through Trumpington in July 2017. This affected Citi 7 and services 26 and
27, none of which stop on Trumpington High Street between 9 am and 5 pm Monday-Saturday or at any time on Sunday. The Trumpington
Residents' Association has been campaigning against the changes and issued a statement explaining our concern.
