Huntingdonshire District Council, GB converts surplus public lots into affordable housing
District officials selected nine vacant sites owned by the council for redevelopment as low-cost housing. These lots were not conventional candidates for residential developments due to size and location. Project partner Longhurst Group will build up to 100 new homes for sale or rent based on council approvals. Huntingdonshire District Council hopes that this cost-effective boost to the local housing stock reduces costs and encourages innovative development.

Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Combined Authority, UK trials flood sensor network in St. Neots
Six locations on the River Great Ouse were selected for the pilot. Sensors from local company cThings leverage LoRaWAN connectivity for live tracking of river flow, level, and temperature. Local officials receive messages when sensor readings indicate potential flooding in Huntingdonshire. This trial evaluates the effectiveness of early-warning messages and potential collaborations with local organizations. A successful pilot may see an expanded sensor network supported by new LoRaWAN gateways.
