We are taking a new approach to finding out what people think about proposals for their neighbourhoods. It will help us work together to develop plans that work for local people.
We held our first Shaping Coleridge meeting in December 2024, for anyone who lives in Coleridge or has an organisation based there.
We will provide further information when the next meeting is arranged. Sign up to our mailing list to receive updates by emailing coleridge@cambridge.gov.uk.
New housing
We are redeveloping two existing housing estates in Coleridge.
On Fanshawe Road, we are replacing 30 outdated council homes with 84 new energy efficient homes. We will install a green space, a small play area, and community food growing planters. With plans approved, work began in November 2024. To find out more or contact the project team, email fanshaweroad@cambridge.gov.uk.
On Davy Road, we propose to replace 42 outdated council homes with new council homes and market homes. Preliminary design work has begun and a consultation was held in December 2025. We now aim to submit a planning application in spring 2026. To find out more or contact the project team, email davy.road@cambridge.gov.uk.
Other developers are working on proposals for further regeneration in and around Coleridge. This includes the land south of Coldham’s Lane.
Local improvement projects
As well as the plans listed above, we have already been:
- planting trees on streets and in open spaces
- creating a new pocket park near Rustat Road
- installing new wildflower meadows, bee hotels and more on Coleridge recreation ground with funding from our Environmental Improvement Programme
- improving local sports and recreation facilities, including installing a new outdoor fitness area
