Iโve heard great things about the pizzas from Robertoโs Deli in St Neots, so it was a real treat to find time to share one with a friend yesterday. It certainly lived up to the reviews! We are so lucky to have so many good food venues in the constituency #independentshops

You can report a crime by dialling 101 or online via Report | Cambridgeshire Constabulary. Or you can report anonymously at https://t.co/WpupgnB4eq or 0800 555 111. Neighbourhood Watch schemes help residents & police to work together. For info email SouthCambsNPT@cambs.police.uk

Issues that were raised with us included speeding and speed limits; e-scooters; and working with schools and young people to reduce anti-social behaviour. The police urged residents to report crimes, rather than post on social media, so they are logged and police can take action.

It was a great opportunity to hear from residents regarding crime and safety concerns in the local area, as well as a chance to discuss actions that the police are taking and what they can do in the future to address the problems.

In order to truly bring healthcare back into the community and free up our already overstretched hospitals, hospices like Arthur Rank must be given the funding to continue giving the excellent care they have been giving for so many years.

While capital investment is of course welcome - covering land and buildings, research and development and equipment, amongst other costs - this answer does not cover the huge operational cost deficit that hospices are facing.

It was deeply frustrating to hear the Minister continually dismiss other MPs' concerns by referring to general capital investment the Government has made in the NHS.

Today, I asked the Minister for Care whether he recognised the clear contradiction between the Government's policy to bring healthcare out of hospitals and into communities as part of its 10 Year Plan, and the recent decision to withdraw funding for 40% of beds at Arthur Rank.
