Launch of the Housing, Mental Health and Substance Misuse Toolkit on 03/02/22

Dear Members of the Drugs & Alcohol Misuse Delivery Board

Many thanks to all for your help putting this Toolkit together.  You can find the Toolkit at https://cambridgeshireinsight.org.uk/h-mh-sm-toolkit/.

This was launched on 3rd February 2022 on a page on Cambridgeshire Insight, this provides a little background and gives the aims of the toolkit, who should use it, etc.

This page includes some useful resources:-

  • A link to the pdf Toolkit itself
  • A set of slides which take you through the content and some “top tips“ to use the Toolkit
  • A video which is based on the slides, with footage of Sue talking you through them, by way of a mini training tool
  • A media pack with includes all the information you might need when sharing the Toolkit – links to the logo image file, the toolkit, the slides, the URL etc.
  • The email address use for sending feedback

The Toolkit will only help everyone if we all share it and use it, so I’m asking for your help putting a link to it on your websites, in newsletters, mentioning at team meetings and so forth.

We can attend some meetings to talk it through if needed, but are hoping the 9 minute video might reduce the need for too many personal appearances😊.

Please do get in touch if you have any queries or questions and please do also encourage feedback from anyone who uses it, to the email address toolkit@cambridge.gov.uk.

With many thanks, again, for all your help putting the Toolkit together and getting it this far.
Kind regards.
Sue Beecroft
Housing coordinator

The Housing Board for Cambridgeshire

KD X Update

A message from the King’s Dyke project team:

The second phase of the tie-in works, which will connect the new road, at the western roundabout is progressing well, with the services such as phone lines lowered and the preparation for kerbing underway (pictured right).

Thank you to everyone for their patience and understanding while we use temporary traffic lights as part of the tie-in works.

Elsewhere on site, the construction of the reinforced earth embankment continues to benefit from the dry weather, with the embankment now approximately 5m high
(pictured left).
