Latest updates on Alconbury Weald in Summer 2026 newsletter

Hello and welcome to the Summer 2026 edition of the Alconbury Weald newsletter, bringing you the latest updates on the development, schools, homes, businesses, sustainability, travel and community life.

The first phase of the development is now well advanced, with more than 75% of homes delivered alongside 1.5 million sq ft of business space at the Enterprise Campus. Facilities and amenities continue to grow too, including the recent opening of Swynford Coffee. Work is also underway on the next elements of the neighbourhood, including a new health centre above the Co-op, additional shops at The Glade, the secondary school and the final section of Garland Park.

Progress is continuing across the next phases of Alconbury Weald. Infrastructure works are underway in the northern part of Phase 2 to support new homes, with Barratt Homes submitting plans for a mix of one-bedroom apartments and maisonettes, alongside two, three and four-bedroom homes to create a balanced and inclusive neighbourhood with a wide range of housing options.

Phase 3 is also moving forward, with planning consent recently granted for the first homes. Infrastructure work has started for the future Runway Park and proposals for the new Sports Hub are being finalised.

Meanwhile, the framework for Phase 4 is progressing following feedback from residents and local communities earlier this year. The development framework and design codes will help shape future housing parcels, green spaces and infrastructure, ensuring a cohesive and high-quality neighbourhood as AlconburyWeald continues to grow.

Education remains a key priority with pupils at the primary school and special educational needs school thriving, while the secondary school remains on track to open in September 2027. Earlier this year, Alconbury Weald also welcomed female students from secondary schools across. Huntingdonshire for the annual Make Your Mark event, designed to inspire young women to explore careers in the built environment.

The community continues to flourish, with a wide range of regular clubs, groups and classes as well as events to bring the community together, including the Food Festival on 13 June, Hidden Gardens on 28 June, and the Heritage Open Day and Fun Day on 12 September.

Alconbury Weald Community Association and its volunteers continue to play a vital role in organising many community activities and events. If you would like to get involved, they would love to hear from you.

We hope you find this edition of Make/News informative and enjoyable. If you have any queries or ideas for future editions, please get in touch.
