“The Councils will work to secure the comprehensive regeneration of North East Cambridge during the plan period, in particular the creation of a new high quality mixed-use city district, providing at least 8,000 new homes, 20,000 new jobs, and new physical, social and environmental infrastructure, INCLUDING HEALTH CARE FACILITIES, that meets the needs of new and existing residents and workers, as well as delivering tangible benefits for surrounding communities.

b. Actively manage the timely delivery and phasing of homes, jobs and infrastructure, INCLUDING HEALTHCARE FACILITIES, taking action where necessary to address or overcome barriers to delivery;
c. Engage local residents, community groups, schools, colleges and local enterprises in establishing ongoing partnerships and initiatives aimed at involving communities in shaping the places within North East Cambridge where they live and work, and to maximise job opportunities for local people in both the construction phase and beyond;
d. Implement measures to facilitate and administer a low car dependency culture; and
e. Create a cohesive, inclusive and strong community, including sustainable public sector service delivery in the area.”
