Staff enjoy crafts and laughs

A group of Granta Park staff have been leaving their hi-tech worlds behind one lunch time a week to enjoy some good old fashioned craft activities.

‘Crafts and Laughs’ takes place at the McClintock building every Wednesday as a drop in session from 12.00noon to 1.30pm. Says Granta Park’s Marketing and Asset Manager Roz Bird: “Crafts & Laughs does exactly what it says, it’s an excellent way to meet with likeminded people and switch off from the pressures of work for an hour a week. Some members of the group bring along things they are already working on while others have joined for some creative inspiration. It’s a great environment for both craft experts and novices!”

Granta Park funded cycle path opens

Commuters and local residents can now cycle and walk safely between Sawston and Babraham following the opening of a £350,000 shared use path funded by Granta Park.

The two and a half metres wide path connects the two villages with a one mile long shared use path for both cyclists commuting to work and pedestrians wanting to get to each village. The scheme will also include improvements to the existing route between Babraham and Abington, which will be carried out in the next phase of work.

Says Roz Bird, Marketing and Asset Manager at Granta Park: “Having a green travel plan is very important to Granta Park as it means people find it easy to get to work and they have a number of options to chose from including the Granta Park commuter bus, a car sharing scheme and this much needed cycle path, which we are delighted will help the local community as well as commuters to Granta Park.”

The route, which is part of the Cycle Cambridge programme, a partnership of local councils working together to get more people cycling in Cambridge and the surrounding areas, was officially opened by Councillor Tony Orgee, Cabinet Member for Economy and the Environment and County Councillor for Sawston.
