In this week’s Cambridge Independent, out from today, we look at how the mayor of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, Paul Bristow, could use new powers under the Devolution Bill - including to revisit the Mill Road bridge bus gate.
We feature the latest on the Cambridge market proposals, anger over delays to the Hobson Park recreation ground and the debate over the Barton Greenway.
There’s an update on Waterbeach railway station relocation, a look ahead to a meeting about the Owlstone Croft development and 4,500 have signed a petition over a decline in the use of Fenner’s, the famous University of Cambridge cricket ground.
One match it was used for recently was the COEL v Carter Jonas charity match, and we have a spread of pictures from that.
Look out also for picture specials on the World Peashooting Championships in Witcham, the inaugural Ely Cathedral Home and Garden Show, Girton Feast, the FXP Festival and the Kingfishers Bridge open day.
Plus, we hear from a retired professor who was one of the founding fundraisers for what is now Addenbrooke's Charitable Trust - help make your hospitals even better as it marks its 30th anniversary, and we hear how a market trader was swiftly able to return to work after a robot-assisted operation at Royal Papworth.
Political columnist Phil Rodgers takes a look at the local authority shake-up, Daniel Zeichner MP writes about the 10-Year Health Plan and in Science we look at hopes for a new avenue of MS treatment.
In Culture, we talk to acclaimed chef Mark Poynton about his new restaurant and in Business, we go behind the scenes at Meta’s new £12million audio research lab.
In Sport, we get the latest moves at Cambridge Rugby, discuss the July Cup at Newmarket and feature the new Cambridge University Boat Club presidents, and there’s all the latest from our football clubs.
It’s on sale all week, available for home delivery or use the code HALFPRICE on our subscription page to get an annual digital subscription for £27.44 - the equivalent of just £2.28 a month.
