📢 Quick update for residents.

The Parish Council has been informed that you might notice works being carried out in the fields behind Malting Lane along the slip road over the next month or so.

A digger will be used to do some routine maintenance, including flattening soil and clearing out the ditches etc.

Please don't worry—no new houses are being built! This is strictly maintenance work. Thank you for your patience while the works are being carried out. 🚜🔧

Hi everyone! 🌳

We are so lucky to have our local playing field, but recently there has been a lot of litter and broken glass left behind. This is really dangerous for everyone using the space, especially our children and pets who can easily get hurt.

Please remember to put all your rubbish in the bins provided. If you see any broken glass or items, it would be amazing if you could help by picking them up safely so we can keep the area clear.

Also, a quick reminder to please pick up after your dogs! 💩🐾

Let’s work together to keep our playing field safe, clean, and enjoyable for the whole community.

Thank you so much! ❤️

The Parish Council has received the following information from Anglian Water:

ANGLIAN WATER - We’re doing some work in your area
Affected Areas : Perry, Grafham, Great Staughton, And Buckden

We wanted to let you know that on 19th October until 6th November , we'll be doing some work near you to fix a damaged valve.

This is part of an improvement work starting in your area. This will continue next year with water mains renewal. We will keep you informed of any work we are going to do.

How might you be affected?
We'll need to close the road. There'll be a clearly signed diversion in place while we’re working between 19th October to 6th November.

Stay in the loop
Sometimes our plans might change due to emergency work. If that happens, we’ll be back in touch to let you know. We’ll also keep this dedicated webpage updated with the latest.

Need to get in touch?
If we’ve had to turn off your water supply at any point for our work, you might notice it’s slightly discoloured when it comes back. There’s nothing to worry about, just let the cold water tap in your kitchen run for a few minutes until the water clears. If it doesn’t run clear after this time, please call us on 03457 145 145 and mention the reference number 68464067. You can use the same number to give us a call about anything else too.

National Highways - Important roadworks information
A1 Brampton Hut Roundabout – Drainage kerb upgrade and resurfacing

We’re planning to carry out essential repairs and maintenance at the A1 Brampton Hut roundabout. We’ll improve and strengthen the drainage kerbs, resurface the road and replace the road markings and traffic signal sensors. Once complete, these improvements will help surface water drain away more effectively and reduce the risk of flooding.

We plan to complete this work in phases over eight weeks starting on Monday 28 September. We will work overnight between 9:30pm and 5am on weeknights and one full weekend, weather permitting.

Closures and diversions
To carry out the work safely, we will need to close parts of the A1 Brampton Hut Roundabout and A141 eastbound link, and divert traffic as follows:

Phase 1
A1 Northbound exit slip and entry road into services.

The exit from the services will remain open.
Monday 28 September to Wednesday 14 October 2026

Monday - Friday
9.30pm – 5am
A1 northbound traffic will continue north
exit the A1 at Alconbury (B1043),
rejoin the A1 southbound to exit at Brampton Hut Interchange.

Phase 2
A141 eastbound link between A14 junction 21 and Brampton Hut Roundabout.

Please note, dates for phases 1 & 2 will run in parallel.
Monday 28 September to Friday 16 October 2026

Monday – Friday 9.30pm – 5am
Traffic wishing to join the A141 eastbound will join the A14 westbound at J21.

Travel west to J16 (Catworth Interchange) then rejoin the A14 eastbound.

Travel east on A14 towards J23 (Ermine St Interchange), exit and return westbound.

At A14 J22, join the A1 northbound and continue to follow the above diversion for phase 1 to exit at Brampton Hut Interchange.

Phase 3

From Brampton Hut Roundabout, traffic wishing to join the A1 northbound or A141 eastbound towards Huntingdon will travel west on the A141 link towards A14 J21.
At the roundabout return east on the A141 link towards Brampton Hut Roundabout.
Take the A1 northbound entry slip.

For A141 east to Huntingdon, exit the A1 at Alconbury (B1043),
rejoin the A1 southbound to exit at Brampton Hut Interchange and join the A141 eastbound.

We will be carrying out a fourth phase, which will require a full weekend closure of the Brampton Hut Roundabout from 9.30pm Friday 20 November until 5am Monday 23 November. We’ll write to you again with more details.

For the duration of the works a lane closure will remain in place on the roundabout during the day for safety reasons and to protect the work area.

Please note emergency vehicles will have access through the works with caution.

Maps of the diversions can be found below.
