Five years of Horizons
In October 2009 Cambridgeshire Horizons celebrated its fifth anniversary. In honour of this landmark, we gathered together some facts and figures about the work we have carried out over the last five years.
As of 2010, Cambridgeshire Horizons and its partners had successfully bid for and received almost £100 million from Government. This money was used to fund, or part-fund, a wide range of projects, including:

- Riverside Bridge built across the River Cam in Cambridge to connect Chesterton to Newmarket Road
- A host of Green Infrastructure project including: the opening of East Pit Nature Reserve in Cambridge, the Great Fen Project, Coton Countryside Reserve, and Wicken Fen
