It was one of those moments when I heard the voice that belongs to my body say completely the opposite to what my brain was thinking. “No problem!” I heard it blurt, as I clapped my hand over my mouth in horror at the utterance I had issued. The mild hysteria began to set in as the head registered what my mouth had not: Twelve weeks to plan and stage something that would usually take twelve months.

Work has started on the Flint Cross junction. Traffic lights have been installed and there are long delays. It is advisable to find alternative routes - Fowlmere Road, Heydon for Eastbound and access to Fowlmere, and Barley and on to Royston for Westbound.

Mobile Library Service to be reduced

Cambridgeshire County Council, like all local authorities, is facing a very difficult future economically due to the national recession, and as a result all services are required to make significant budget savings over the next 3 financial years. In Libraries this means saving more than Ł2 million, more than a quarter of the total budget.
Mobile Library staff have looked very carefully at the use made of the service and the needs within communities, and have designed a completely new set routes for a reduced number of vehicles and staff.
In the case of Great Chishill this means that the service will operate at one location, the Church, on a monthly basis, 2nd Friday of the month, 1.25 to 2.05
