Latest updates on Alconbury Weald in Winter 2025/26 newsletter

Hello and welcome to our winter 2025/26 Alconbury Weald newsletter, with the latest on the development as well as updates on schools, homes, businesses, sustainability, travel and community news.

The first phase of the development is well underway, with over 70% of homes delivered alongside 1.5 million sq ft of business space at the Enterprise Campus and a range of facilities and amenities. The next elements coming forward will be the final section of Garland Park, a health centre over the Co-op, new shops in The Glade and the secondary school. 

Work is also underway on the next phases of Alconbury Weald. TheSouthern Gateway connection to the A141 was completed in late 2025 and will open when the first new homes are delivered in Phase 2. We would also like to introduce Shelly Cant, who will be working with the community to bring plans for Prestley Park to life.

In Phase 3, planning applications have been submitted for 450 new homes opposite the future Runway Park and plans for the clubhouse and pitches at the Sports Hub are being updated following feedback. Meanwhile Phase 4, which includes land for a new railway station, is at the very early design stage.

Our Water Savers initiative, which helps residents save water and money by making small changes to how they use hot water, is going well with around 20% of households already signed up. If you haven’t done so yet, try the calculator to see what simple changes you could make in 2026.

We also continue to make journeys count and in addition to App Bikes and lift sharing, we’ve teamed up with Dews Coaches to give residents and employees at Alconbury Weald 10 free bus tickets for the AW1 bus to be used before the end of March 2026.

Alconbury Weald hosts a wide variety of regular clubs, groups and classes that cater for all ages and abilities, and we’ve provided a full listing in this edition of Make/News. If your New Year’s Resolution is to try out new sports or activities to improve your health, fitness and wellbeing, we’ve got you covered!

We’ll also have a full calendar of community events again this year, kicking off with our Community Wellbeing Day on 24 January and a Heritage Talk on 14 February 2026.

We hope you find this Make/News interesting and informative. If you have any queries, or have any ideas for future editions, please let us know.
