#Cambridge 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 campaignā¦

#cambridge A āmust seeā
GCP backers push an #orchard vs. #woods narrative, pitting communities against each otherādivide and conquer. But Madingley Road isnāt moving. Adding an inbound bus lane, as CPPF suggests, would nudge traffic over, likely helping the SSSI, not harming it. Meanwhile, GCPās Ā£200m

#Cambridge Unfortunately you canāt vote for Labour* or LibDem* - when will the people of Cambridge WAKE UP, put Party politics behind them and vote LOCALLY to whatās best for Cambridgeshire? *this is the second time these two partys have voted to destroy Coton Orchard š”
@david4castle @CotonView @paulbristow79 Weāre not voting for anyone who said YES to wrecking our countryside, bulldozing farms, and trashing our heritage. We hope Cambridgeshire stands up for what matters too š³šāš³ļøāš»š¤Ø

#cambridge Well done Edinburgh - Ā£50m to be raised from ātourist taxā Isnāt 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 Ā£50m per year⦠https://t.co/tuGiq9bq6B

A tourist tax designed to raise £50m annually will be introduced to Edinburgh from next year.

#Cambridge 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 chainsā¦
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 @neil4labour1 @richardhowitt @mikelode1 @CambsCC @GreaterCambs

#cambridge Whereās 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⦠š¤ Ah, but those are for key workers earning up to Ā£61k š¤š¤
@GreenJennyJones @snifftheair @UKLabour Bus ways would not be necessary. If most of the cars stopped at park and rides. And people cycled, walked or took the bus from there.

#Cambridge āā¦it will cost 5 old trees. Butā¦ā Thatās 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. šŗ I am sure you understand why @camcitco wants to reduce the 100k cars driving in our city? šŗ @GreaterCambs can do this by an active travel/busway that is separate from traffic. šŗ Yes, it will cost 5 old trees. But⦠šŗ

#cambridge A sad day for Cambridge - La Mimosa is closing š Congratulations on the retirement Don! Weāll 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
