New modeling study finds that if everyone in the United Kingdom had worn N95 or FFP2 masks from the start of the pandemic, the rate of COVID-19 transmission would have been 9 times lower.

A big day for Cllr Day & I - and our residents - tomorrow, as the council hears an appeal against a refusal for an additional 650 homes on the showground (850 have already approved). This is also a big day for the Speedway team, as it concerns the land that is their home. (1/2)

The great sell-off of everything that used to make #Peterborough good has continued... 4 councillors called in a review to make sure a bad plan got passed. peterboroughtoday.co.uk/news/people/65…
