From the Local and National Media
From the Royston Crow on the 21st July - Barracks set to remain open.
From the Cambridgeshire section of the BBC News Website: South Cambridgeshire asks residents to suggest development sites

Finally, what Andrew Lansley MP was quoted as saying about the proposals for Gypsy and Traveller sites in 2009: ‘Traveller Site plans “Questionable”.’
