**WANDLEBURY COUNTRY PARK - CLOSED TODAY - 23RD OCTOBER** Due to storm Benjamin we have had to close the park because of high winds.

@markrwilliamson The affordable key worker housing is mainly for postdocs and post-grads so not really helping to solve our housing shortage.

Eddington will deliver about 5,650 homes in total. ‘Up to 50% of these will be affordable homes for University key workers with the rest on the open market – all of which help address the city’s critical shortage of housing.’ No social housing. 🧵2 cam.ac.uk/news/universit…

New: University of Cambridge submits planning application for future phases of its Eddington development. Revised masterplan sets out proposals for 3,800 additional homes. 🧵1
