Policy Group

The Policy Group considers and coordinates CA policy activity across the various thematic groups and projects.

The Group is a vital forum for CA to engage with senior stakeholders from across our local area. Over time we have built up an archive of useful research, publications and media articles – some our own and some from third parties – that serve as a useful resource for our Members, academics, business and other bodies and people interested in the future of Cambridge.
