Love Cambridge Shopping

The city of Cambridge is changing. The extension of The Grafton, the development of the Grand Arcade and Bradwell’s Court; and a new state of the art John Lewis will all help to entice shoppers into the city centre and maintain the city’s vitality.

Cambridge will benefit greatly from the changes afoot, but all of us who are involved acknowledge that change on this scale will also cause some disruption and inconvenience.

Love Cambridge Shopping brings together under one umbrella seven of the main stakeholders involved in the process of change. These stakeholders are:

Cambridge City Council

John Lewis

Land Securities - owners of Christ's Lane

The Grand Arcade Partnership - developers of the Grand Arcade

Prudential - owners of The Grafton

Goodman International - investment managers of Lion Yard

Cambridgeshire County Council

The aim of Love Cambridge Shopping is to combine our respective resources and keep disruption to a minimum. Working as one, we will endeavour to:

- keep you informed of progress on the key developments unfolding in the city

- provide advance warning of major work that is likely to affect access into and within the city

- respond to your general questions and concerns about work on the key developments

Over the next few years we anticipate that this website will evolve to provide useful general information about shops and shopping in Cambridge - so please visit us again soon!

The Love Cambridge Shopping Community Fund has now closed. The Fund has helped 26 community groups across the City with activities as diverse as nursery equipment, radio shows, panto trips, pensioners' outings, security equipment, gardening tools and musical instruments. Thanks to all those we have worked with, and we're pleased to have made a contribution to Cambridge's grassroots community.
