A story

[Allan Brigham @AllanBrigham]

History in the past ....and making history today. Will Castle Hill remain in public hands? Will enough genuinely affordable houses be built?

Career as road sweeper and tour guide. A short 9 minute film made last year by film maker Kip Loads.

Why believe Council will listen re Local Plan? Below our experience last time. 1. 2007: Form Residents Group. Survey residents. Request family housing (market & social). 2. 2015: Council agree - Development Brief agreed. 3. 2020: Student flats built!

Did John Gummer just get his way in the end?

[Sam Davies @Sam_in_Cam]

How could @cambscc possibly have predicted 'aggressive competition' in the Cambridge student housing market? Completely unforeseeable 🤔

How Trump appoints USA ambassadors!

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Gordon Sondland, Donald Trump’s ambassador to the EU, who was blocked from testifying before Congress last week, got his job after donating $1 million to Trump’s inaugural committee.

The problem with green open space and pedestrian rights of way is that they are always seen as the add-on to be fitted into any urban and road environment. They should be at the starting point around which everything else is built.

@colinwiles best tv of the last few years.Amazing how few of the cast knew east anglia.

An old headline: Lessons ? But never use the past to predict the future - here today can be gone tomorrow. You need to plan for the future.

[Allan Brigham @AllanBrigham]

An old headline: Reminders:1:Thatcher won 3 elections. 2:Labour later won 3 elections. 3:Centre party with dream local cadidate failed locally. 4:Odds are against 3rd parties. 5:Tories now disapeared from Cambridge. 6:Libdems naive not to make PR conditional on coalition.

Memories from working on the streets of Cambridge: 2
1985. The first pavement artist I had seen. A lovely and very skilled New Zealander. I used to sweep the fag ends and other rubbish away each morning.

[Allan Brigham @AllanBrigham]

Memories from working on the streets of Cambridge: 1. Animal Rights Protestors. These were very passionate.
