On our website we outline the services provided by the Parish Council, along with the details of our meetings, committees, councillors, policies and employees. This site will enable you to find out about community facilities and the status of actions outlined in the recently published Parish Plan.

Cambourne is a vibrant community and it is our intention to enable more residents to play an active role in the community, through participation in community events and activities, volunteering, attendance at Parish Council meetings, ideas for community development, or simply taking advantage of our excellent community and sports facilities within the villages.

The Parish Council has 13 councillors and meets on the first Tuesday of the month (with the exception of August in which there is no meeting). In addition to full council, duties and powers have been delegated to three committees.
