Response to group complaint about U-bus service

On 17 January 2023, a letter was sent on behalf of (and signed by) the residents of Eddington, with complaints about the unreliability of the ‘Universal’ bus service.
We called on the University of Cambridge to enter into urgent talks with Whippet bus company to demand immediate action to address the issues.


On 03 February 2023, we received a reply from the Head of Sustainability of the Estates Division at the University of Cambridge. You can read this reply below:

Due to a recent rise in spam posts following an extended period of inactivity we have suspended the "Discussions" forum on the site. The committee would like to extend their apologies to those of you seeking discount pharmaceuticals or mail-order romance, and suggest you look anywhere else on the internet as an alternative.

We have retained the existing content from the forum. If residents have a particular desire to see this re-instated in some improved, bot-free form please get in touch with the committee.

Eddington Neighbourhood Watch meeting

Eddington Neighbourhood Watch meeting
 
A meeting to discuss and organise Eddington Neighbourhood Watch activities is taking place in response to recent muggings and assaults. All interested residents are invited to join on Wednesday 28 September at 7pm in the Multi-Function Room of the Postdoc Centre at Eddington. The meeting is being organised by residents.

Safety in Eddington

Dear residents of Eddington,

Please be aware of
several individuals displaying anti-social behaviour in Eddington – there have even been muggings! We as the Residents Association are communicating with Portal about this, but please do report any incidents to the police (and to Portal as well). Last night the police were called.
- Please be careful walking and cycling around Eddington at night. Especially avoid dodgy looking people in dark clothing
- Note that the hotel (Hyatt and Locke) reception desks are open 24/7 if you need somewhere safe. Their staff are also trained to perform first aid and inform the police, in case this is necessary
- The idea of a neighbourhood watch has been suggested; please get in touch with us if you are interested in being involved in such an initiative
