Due to Christmas Day falling on a Tuesday this year, City Council will be moving bin collections that would fall on Dec 25th forward to Saturday 22nd Dec, with most other collections moving one day later. The earlier collection will affect parts of Market Ward.

To find out when your bin collections will be happening, the best weblink to use is the one to the postcode bin search, which is http://bins.cambridge.gov.uk (no www!).

Happy holidays!

Three new semi-mature trees have recently been planted around the Grafton Centre — one in Burleigh Street, and another two in Fitzroy Street to replace others which were lifting the pavement and creating a serious safety hazard.

Cllr Tim Bick said, “I am delighted with the new trees. They soften what is otherwise a harsh built-up environment.”

Also installed are new waste bins, which provide both increased capacity and allow for recycling.

Our own Cllr Sarah Whitebread has sent a Christmas Card to Conservative County Council Leader Nick Clarke to highlight the problem of global warming. In October Clarke blogged that he thought global warming may not exist and doubted that it was caused by human activity if it does.

Cllr Whitebread was quoted in the Cambridge News as saying, “I just thought it was quite worrying and scary that someone in a position of quite a lot of power can completely ignore the science.”

The card said:

Nick,

Have a merry Christmas

The card was signed by Cllr Whitebread, green campaigners and academics.
