Your New Library

Cherry Hinton library is being completely upgraded to a much needed community centre ...

Your new community run cafe

Indoor and outdoor seating. A great community meeting space ...

Cherry Hinton wants a Cafe!

Planning approval has been granted for extending our library to provide some much needed facilities for Cherry Hinton including a community run cafe

The Hub will be run by Cherry Hinton Residents

It is not a Council project although City and County Councils are very much involved. The project was initiated by residents and will be administered by residents.

It’s a Charity

The hub will be managed by the Cherry Hinton Community Benefit Society. This is a co-operative with charity status. Members and trustees are unpaid volunteers.

The Library will be even better

We have worked with the library service all along to ensure that they are happy with the new space. There will be an improved efficient library with modern facilities.

Community Hub Poll on the Village Website

The new meeting rooms will be a great asset for the centre of the village.

Cherry Hinton is a lively place with many clubs and societies competing for space where they can meet.
The pressure on the existing hub at the end of the library demonstrates the need for much more space ideally in the centre of the village.
