@markrwilliamson Sadly, not for the lock. Jesus Green is the nearest place the trucks could get to drop off the pontoons (I quizzed a contractor) Itβs one of the colleges to support work on bank or bridge. You super-sleuths poke in planning - thereβll be permission/plans somewhere!
Think decision to integrate Palantir services into NHS needs more scrutiny? Should they access medical records of you and everyone else in the UK? Read this and sign the petition. https://t.co/FQmUKHEHrJ

The high environmental impact of the 2026 Winter Olympic Games. Draining a river for artificial snow, destroying a forest, and other crimes against the natural world. Due to climate change the area is 3.6β’c warmer than 20 years ago https://t.co/GayqDldBVG
@MonicaHone I can see how that's seem counterintuitive! However, my understanding is that you do need to manage vegetation around small watercourses, to reduce leaf litter & give more light, and this is the right time of year to do it. May the newsletters be helpful?https://t.co/OSscKM7CFx
@MonicaHone I find this so heartening. There was was a fantastic podcast from Nate Hagens with Rosa VΓ‘sques Espinoza that mentioned this π ππΊ https://t.co/pvGt6H7wKx
Lovely tribute to Jean Perraton in the latest @camvalleyforum newsletter. Jean was a keen wild swimmer, encouraging people to reclaim their watery freedom. The Designated Bathing Water Status at Sheep's Green brings hope of a cleaner River Cam. Thanks, J https://t.co/4SrN6Fp0RL
