Currently under construction, the Unity Centre is set to become the hub of community activity for the first phase of Northstowe. It is due for completion in Spring 2026. Many activities and services are already being delivered from the temporary community centre, known as The Cabin, positioned next door to where the Unity Centre is being built, and it is anticipated that the majority of these will transfer to this permanent community facility.
We have received a full proposal from Northstowe Town Council asking us to consider passing the building to them, as a Community Asset Transfer. The Council will now assess this submission and prepare a report for the consideration of Cabinet, for a decision on the proposal. No other bids from local organisations have been received.
The way in which any proposal will be assessed by the Council is set out in the “Eligibility Check and Bid Assessment Matrix.”
