Please can you share so we can make Andrew's stolen accordion (the tool of his musical trade) too hot to handle. This theft took place in Bury St Edmunds.

I have permission to share this.

Get ready to say goodbye to Cambridge's Grafton Centre as we know it... New plans mean fewer shops, a new hotel, plus lots of labs and office space

Will you miss it?

One of the bosses at the company behind the development plans is on the show tomorrow at 8am 📻

Can you help Cambridge Community Kitchen raise funds for kitchen improvements?

#FoodInsecurity is still common in the #Cambridge community. To win this fight, we all need to work together.

This week, we’re in need of some key items for our visitors. If you can #donate from the list below, please do💚

❄️ Even in winter, the Cam Botanic Garden is a beautiful place to take a stroll in. What would you enjoy best?

🌺 Meander through the Glasshouse?
🥾 Tread the boardwalk?
🦆 Watch the wildlife skate across the frozen pond?
💧 Taking a turn around the water?

❄️It was a frosty start here today. There’s lots to enjoy in the Garden at the moment, including the snowdrops, which are putting in an early appearance this year.
❄️Don’t worry if you see them drooping in frosty weather - they will recover when the temperature rises again.

No such thing as a #bluemonday here!
Sunshiny yellow, a good cup of coffee and warm welcome.
Look forward to seeing you soon 😀
