The village itself offers a comprehensive range of local amenities, including a primary school, Melbourn Village College (part of the Cam Academy Trust), a health centre, shops, public houses, and recreational facilities. Nearby, the science and business parks at Melbourn and Royston provide local employment opportunities in a variety of sectors.
