On Friday 9 December, Jonathan Djanogly MP joined Council Leader Jason Ablewhite and local tree warden Sue Parkin, in planting the first of over half a million trees that will help transform Alconbury Airfield. The tree planting is the first work on the site as it begins its transformation into an Enterprise Zone aiming to bring 8000 jobs to the local area, and has been designed jointly with the local Parish Council.
