So I came 2nd… I wonder if this attempt helped MY victory over the LDs?
I look forward to hearing from all those LDs who were very quick to attack my campaign…
A deeply disreputable bar chart being distributed by @CambridgeLDs in Castle ward (left), comparing votes for two candidates in last year's election against votes for one. The actual result of the election, which had two vacancies, is shown on the right. democracy.cambridge.gov.uk/m…

Let’s flush £500m away and have no public toilets
#cambridge
A ‘must see’
GCP backers push an #orchard vs. #woods narrative, pitting communities against each other—divide and conquer. But Madingley Road isn’t moving. Adding an inbound bus lane, as CPPF suggests, would nudge traffic over, likely helping the SSSI, not harming it. Meanwhile, GCP’s £200m concrete busway to Grange Road will carve up @MadingleyHill #farms and destroy Coton Orchard. Don’t be fooled. On 1 May 2025, vote to #SaveCotonOrchard, save taxpayers £ms, give commuters a real choice, and actually protect the #environment 🌳🍎🦊🚌❌ 🗳️✊🏻🤨 ✏️ change.org/p/save-the-green-…

Unfortunately you can’t vote for Labour* or LibDem* - when will the people of Cambridge WAKE UP, put Party politics behind them and vote LOCALLY to what’s best for Cambridgeshire?
*this is the second time these two partys have voted to destroy Coton Orchard 😡

How can Eddington put on a better show than the City?
More importantly why weren’t the local residents invited to attend?

Well done Edinburgh - £50m to be raised from ‘tourist tax’
Isn’t this the same amount the Lab/LibDem alliance wanted to fleece car drives for via the CON Tax?
Just imagine what could be done with £50m per year…

I can only speak for myself, but closing Mill Rd means that I will no longer visit 3 local independent businesses as the division pushes me past national chains…
It's a tough trading environment on the UK high street. Investment in a low traffic Mill Road will further protect local businesses by making it a place to go to, not drive through

Where’s the park n rides on Histon rd and Huntingdon rd?
Plenty of room on Huntingdon rd - just need to stop Cambs Uni building more over priced flats/houses… 🤔
Ah, but those are for key workers earning up to £61k 🤔🤔

“…it will cost 5 old trees. But…” That’s OK then, as how many 100s of millions have the GCP already spent achieving a 6% reduction in bus usage and a 29% reduction in cycling…
Time for the GCP to be disbanded?
Latest transport dashboard:
I understand why @CotonView wants to protect its village.

I am sure you understand why @camcitco wants to reduce the 100k cars driving in our city?
🌺
@GreaterCambs can do this by an active travel/busway that is separate from traffic.

Yes, it will cost 5 old trees. But…

How can the Uni still blatantly lie?
Latest sales brochure:
“…urban drainage system sees rainwater collected, stored and filtered, before being pumped back to homes where it is used for washing machines and flushing toilets.”

This is how bad the Cities planning dept is performing 😮
48 weeks to approve?!
49%/67% of applications have had an Extension Of Time request…
How’s that four day working going? 🤔

It’s taken me 3 YEARS to get planning consent for 14 units due to inefficiency, inconsistency and four day working week 😡
The Cities LPA is a shambles
How many hours have I spent trying to get a planning officer to respond… complete joke

A sad day for Cambridge - La Mimosa is closing 😕
Congratulations on the retirement Don!
We’ll come and eat with you in a couple of weeks
18th November 2024
I stopped for a chat with Don today who was putting up Christmas lights for the last time at La Mimosa. He told me that after 21 years, the restaurant will be closing at the end of the year and that he will be retiring.
The name Don Pasquale has been synonymous with Italian dining in Cambridge for over 50 years. He and his brothers, Kim and Prospero opened their well-loved restaurant at Market Hill in 1972 - a traditional Italian restaurant that became a Cambridge institution under the Benedetto family.‘ It’s been my life’ he said ‘Nearly all my customers are regulars who have been coming for years - they have made my time here so enjoyable - I will miss it terribly’.
And I will miss our daily chats Don as I’m reminded that it is people who make a city, and family-run businesses are a key element to our sense of belonging. The American political scientist, in his book ‘Bowling Alone’ calls it social capital, and I think we are running out of it.
So it’s ok to dig up Trinity lawns and glue yourself to the M25, but a disabled man can’t protest about the injustice of closing Mill rd bridge?

Good see the money raised is now over £6,000 which more than raised to fight the CON Charge…
If it does close, there are 3 local businesses, and a great cafe, that I will no longer spend at - as the diversion pushes me past National chains 😕
