Marshall recognises the role that community, cultural, education, sports and leisure services and facilities play in creating vibrant, healthy and sustainable places. On that basis, Marshall supports the principle and role of Policy WS/CF in establishing the need and appropriate locations for new or replacement services / facilities. The scale of development at Cambridge East provides a significant opportunity to meet, not only the needs of the future Cambridge East residents, but also a wider demand for community, sports and leisure facilities close to the city centre that might not be capable of being accommodated on other more constrained sites.

The scale of development at Cambridge East provides a significant opportunity to meet, not only the needs of the future Cambridge East residents, but also a wider demand for community, sports and leisure facilities. Cambridge East is intended to be truly mixed use and will provide an opportunity to deliver enhanced community, sports and leisure facilities, close to the city centre that might not be capable of being accommodated on other more constrained sites. Marshall will work with the community and key stakeholders to understand what type of facilities are currently missing in Cambridge and what the local community needs.
