Dear Sarah,
Thank you for your project application idea, the project concept will contribute towards improving the local environment providing improved accessibility and social interaction. This project was taken to the East Area Committee 07/12/2023 for consideration within the funding and criteria for EIP area funding. Following East Area Committee consideration and Officer recommendations this area project was then approved by the Executive Councillor for Openspaces and City Services to a value of £2,000. An assigned Project Lead - Council Officer, will contact you as soon as resources allow in early 2024 in regards their resourcing programme for working in partnership to bring the project forward towards implementation. It would be helpful for initial liaison if you as the project applicant could send me your details (email address) so with your consent I can pass these onto the assigned project lead, please send to james.ogle@cambridge.gov.uk
Kind Regards
Install bench in front of St Thomas Hall
From "Environmental Improvement Programme 2023-24: New bidding round"
Go to the project

This area is a very pleasant place to look at and it could be enjoyed even more if there was a place to sit. Anyone attending an event at St Thomas Hall could have a sit down and a chat afterwards or before, and indeed anyone living in the area could meet for a chat with a neighbour or enjoy a rest after a stroll.
This area of Coleridge is noticeable bereft of places to sit; there are very few benches currently.

I'd really like to see a bench here. Often older folk find it much easier to go for a walk if there is a chance to sit down along the way.

The lack of benches in certain areas of Cambridge is absolutely shocking!
