Cycle parking needed at the entry to Grantchester Meadows

Definitely time to strim the nettles

#183429, nearby

I reported this on the county highways web form in February - 'It's a hole that you occasionally fix but it keeps coming back, perhaps because vehicles are turning. Please do it properly!' and received a reply in June - 'We are pleased to ... [more]

#183428, nearby

Not sure what's going on, but I've never seen so much obstructive car parking on the footway here.

#182690, nearby

On-street cycle parking needed - one car space could give safe storage for all these bikes.

#182689, nearby

Not easy to see, but one sign reads Roadworks from 27/4 for 4 days, the other reads Roadworks from 29/4 for 3 days - and they're both still there well into May.

#182305, nearby

What I kept telling councillors and officers was one of the most abused ASLs in Cambridge has been repainted at last, along with the whole junction.

#179828, nearby

A clear need for cycle stands in place of a car-parking space. Submitted to the Cambridge parking consultation, let's see what happens.

#179816, nearby

New fencing for two houses, new cycle stands for one - the nearest of the four available spaces won't get much use, I predict - if only they'd put them in at a slight angle.

#178799, nearby

Obviously the car park closure doesn't apply to us.

#178636, nearby

New cycle parking at Newnham's Co-op - and Don't Park in the Garden signs - this was until recently a low box hedge which people often leant their bikes on. So there may well be problems here.

#176598, nearby

People might think that this refers to parking at the entrance to Grantchester Meadows, but no, it refers to South Green Road, the private close to the right.

#176597, nearby

There was talk of parking being banned here (except for disabled blue badge holders?) but nothing has happened.

#176239, nearby

Lengthy queues on (traffic-calmed) Grange Road due to closure of the A1134.

#176238, nearby

The A1134 is closed for 8 days - there's passage for pedestrians but nothing for cyclists as such.

#171002, nearby

Yet again, someone has had a brilliantly original idea for free advertising, in a rather anti-social location. How long will it last?

#171001, nearby

Problems with the school run, I suspect.

#170865, nearby

One arm of this route sign is totally missing.

#170859, nearby

A letter to Newnham residents from the Lib Den councillors - the petition against removing car parking at the start of Grantchester Meadows will be considered by the county council, so there will be no changes before 27 July.

#170609, nearby

Car parking at the north end of Grantchester Meadows, proposed for closure - since the introduction of parking restrictions in Newnham Croft, and the growth in van-living, the numbers of vehicles here have gone up. There's a clear need for ... [more]

#170608, nearby

Car parking at the north end of Grantchester Meadows, proposed for closure - it used to be that the road surface was terrible here, and that vehicles tended to only park at the far end - but since the introduction of parking restrictions in ... [more]

#170607, nearby

Notice of the county council's plans to close the car parking at the north end of Grantchester Meadows, and a petition against it.

#170548, nearby

At last, some actual cycle stands at Cambridge Rugby Club - see #38282 and #73767

#170546, nearby

Cycle Planter parking

#170217, nearby

Partial repair. Let's see how long it lasts this time.

#164838, nearby

This stretch of the fen has been flooded for over a month - there's a free-flowing stream to the right but somehow the cycle path seems to be an impermeable barrier to drainage.

#164835, nearby

Already reported, but as it's Pothole Watch Week....

#164718, nearby

I have no idea how someone managed to drive into that route sign, but it needs straightening.

#160185, nearby

Barton Road cycleway. A banksman guides a lorry into the site of a new development.

Gas works on Newnham Road during the Covid-19 lockdown - virtually no motor traffic to be held up.

Track to the Cocks and Hens Tennis Club, Newnham

#114466, nearby

Gas works on Newnham Road - the Covid-19 lockdown makes this a pretty stressfree time to block the road.

After the path has been "fixed"... still full of water filled potholes

After the path has been "fixed" again... still a crater field

#113387, nearby

The cost of poorly maintained cycling infrastructure... Frame snapped in two at the bottom bracket, from the battering it receives from Newnham's potholes.

#111562, nearby

No idea what this sign is doing here - as the painted marking makes clear, this is a shared-use cycle route.

#111541, nearby

Bikes on the footway.

Bikes on the footway.

#111539, nearby

Improvised cycle parking outside a bakery in Newnham.

#111135, nearby

Battered railings encroaching further into a narrow shared path. Why exactly are they needed? The next crossing does not have railings.

#111133, nearby

This was already a very tight and awkward gap to negotiate. Knuckle crusher rails were installed last year to punish anybody who didn't get their alignment quite right. This bollard has now been added to make it even more difficult and make ... [more]

#111104, nearby

The potholed and flooded route to Grantchester. It doesn't get better.

#110353, nearby

I applaud the Newnham Bakery taking over a parking space for cycle parking, but I wish they'd installed stands which actually support bikes - it's not that well used as a result.

#107251, nearby

I've pretty much given up reporting potholes like these, but maybe I'll try again.

#99764, nearby

Two Sheffield stands at this new Darwin College development, which don't seem to get much use - but at least no-one is parking a car here either.

#99763, nearby

Sadly predictable - Darwin College built accommodation with no easily accessible cycle parking, so bikes are chained to the fence outside.

#98937, nearby

There's a residents' parking scheme coming, and people are creating off-road car-storage spaces to avoid paying £52 a year.

#98168, nearby

Pointless and invisible sign.

#98167, nearby

Confusing - which Road Ahead? All traffic turns right here anyway.

#98166, nearby

Lots of fuss and bother - I think the road to the right is the one that's meant to be closed, and the diversion is straight ahead. In any case it's just a point closure so in most cases drivers can take the direct route to their destination ... [more]

#98165, nearby

Access maintained for pedestrians, and thus wheeling bikes on the gravel.

#95987, nearby

The council has found 50p down the back of the sofa and at last repainted the shared-use markings which had vanished years ago.

#95792, nearby

The County RoW officer says that local residents object to the surface of the Grantchester Meadows path here being repaired "because it would encourage parking". Well the state of it clearly doesn't deter parking, people park on the bits wi ... [more]

Newnham crater field The start of the Grantchester Meadows path, destroyed by use as a casual car park

#95146, nearby

There are currently three vehicles parked on this double yellow line all day Monday to Friday.

#91617, nearby

New cycle stands at the refurbished Lammas Land tennis courts

#90897, nearby

New solar studs on both sides of the Sheep's Green cycle path.

#89073, nearby

There's been some patching at the top of Grantchester St - I doubt if it'll last long.

#86462, nearby

Funny how illegal parking on the double yellow lines comes and goes here - these may belong to builders (they were there most of the day).

#85496, nearby

Plenty of good new covered cycle parking at Owlstone Croft (Queens' College)

#84999, nearby

This coffee trike has taken up residence in the mornings at the corner of Grantchester St and Barton Rd.

New 20mph zone in Newnham Croft, Cambridge

#74546, nearby

Amazing - someone left a car on the footway across my only access for at least an hour today.

#74411, nearby

Odd sign - No Cycles in forecourt, when there's covered cycle parking there under the tree!

#74410, nearby

Unsecured bikes at Owlstone Croft (Queens' College residence). Plenty of space for cycle stands.

#74404, nearby

The most abused ASL in Cambridge. Really no excuse.

#74218, nearby

On-street cycle parking needed (in place of one car space).

#74217, nearby

On-street cycle parking needed (in place of one car space).

#73765, nearby

Two households with lots of heavy bikes with big baskets etc - please can we have some on-street parking to clear the footway?

Obstructive parking at pick-up time from Newnham Croft School is getting to be a problem again.

#34492, nearby

Cycle parking urgently needed at this shared college house (bikes are left on the other side of the road too) - if the council won't take out a car parking space, maybe they should turn their garage over to secure cycle parking instead?

#27802, nearby

More and more children and parents are cycling to Newnham Croft school.
