Lib Dem county councillor Belinda Brooks-Gordon at the filling station site

The former Texaco filling station on the corner of Histon Road and Huntingdon Road is to be re-developed into flats for 98 university students plus a ground floor retail unit. The City Council’s planning committee originally refused the application but their decision has been overturned on appeal. The developers are now free to go ahead with the building.

Tim Ward with members of DEARA

Spring has very nearly arrived and Councillor Tim Ward and Arbury Lib Dems have been out with local residents adding to the stock of plants on Akeman Street and Darwin Drive. We had a very successful session helping to freshen the planters and provide some much needed colour to the street scene. The team made short work of the piles of bulbs and seedlings you can see in the picture. ]]> http://arburylibdems.mycouncillor.org.uk/2012/03/17/spring-is-just-around-the-corner/feed/ 0 http://arburylibdems.mycouncillor.org.uk/2012/03/16/north-area-committee-thurs-22nd-march/ http://arburylibdems.mycouncillor.org.uk/2012/03/16/north-area-committee-thurs-22nd-march/#comments Fri, 16 Mar 2012 20:13:22 +0000 admin http://arburylibdems.mycouncillor.org.uk/?p=771
