How about cleaning the gutters in Highfield Avenue and the adjoining streets? Will you commit to doing that? @CambStreetScene

Don deserves a good and happy retirement. A lovely family-run restaurant in a prime location. We fear for what might replace it 🙁

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.

NO RIGHT TURN for cyclists on Sparrow crossing at Ascham Rd/Milton Rd. Shouldn't this be NO LEFT TURN @GreaterCambs?? @CambridgeIndy

[HPERA @HPERAcam]

The GCP seems hell-bent on driving the shops on Milton Road out of business @MiltonRoadRA @GreaterCambs @CambridgeLabour https://t.co/08288qnLY7

[HPERA @HPERAcam]

This needs to happen. West Chesterton needs full-time local councillors @sam_carling @cambridgelabour

[Clare King @ClareFKing]

So if Sam Carling steps down, @camcitco can run 2 by elections at same time @sam_carling_

MILTON ROAD WORKS RAP @GreaterCambs @CambridgeIndy @MiltonRoadRA https://t.co/NM88P78FBb

About time the University and its colleges woke up and delivered on this!

[Greater Cambridge Partnership @GreaterCambs]

🆕 The Highworth Avenue/Elizabeth Way roundabout landscaping is nearly complete, and the community marked the project’s progress with the planting of a tree on the roundabout. This will be just one of almost 200 trees planted in total on Milton Road. More: https://t.co/ppRU5AjW8B

[HPERA @HPERAcam]

Sam's contribution has been immense and will be missed well beyond her own ward of Queen Ediths. We wish her the very best for the future.

[Cambridge Independent @CambridgeIndy]

The only Independent on @camcitco - @Sam_in_Cam - has resigned

Disappointed that parts of West Chesterton are excluded.

Would you like to help shape the future design of Arbury, King's Hedges and West Chesterton?
We're creating a 'design code' for parts of North Cambridge to help guide improvements in the coming years. Take a look at our online survey and get involved! https://t.co/yjuL3oot3G

How can you "OFFSET" water pollution? See today's Sunday Times @Feargal_Sharkey @camcitco @CambridgeIndy @Sam_in_Cam @greenarteries @CambsPboroCA

Farewell (for now) but hopefully not goodbye Jeremy. Your local neighbours and friends wish you and your family all the best for the future.

[Jeremy Sallis @jeremysallis]

To you, dear listener, I wish you nothing but health and happiness. But for now, it’s farewell from your local boy on your local radio.

[HPERA @HPERAcam]

@GreaterCambs @Milestone_Infra @CambsCC OK - but do you have sight of @Milestone_Infra's plan for this? Your project manager needs to be satisfied and pro-active to ensure what happened on Histon Road (several trees died) will not happen on Milton Rd. Replacing dead trees months later was so wasteful.

Please read, sign and share widely.

Do you think #LocalGovernment in England is functioning well? No? Then please sign my petition to Parliament to accept the recommendation of @CommonsPACAC to set up a cross-party Commission on the future governance of England. PRT

@mabhurley @glenysmw @Sam_in_Cam @GreaterCambs @camcitco Trees planted by @GreaterCambs for Milton Rd redevelopment. Responsibility for maintenance/watering probably lies with the landscaping contractor for initial warranty period. Thereafter it passes to City or County.
Can @GreaterCambs confirm survival plan for the new trees please?

[HPERA @HPERAcam]

GOOD to see new TREES being planted on Milton Road. What is the watering plan @GreaterCambs? Will you engage with the local hotel, businesses and residents to assist in the coming summer months? Will they survive?
