Terry Macalister Sam Davies Bonkers Busway Cambs Even the mature trees are struggling in this heat โ veterans are cracking at a scary rate. Weโre flat out watering saplings to keep them alive. Meanwhile, still wasting precious time and resources fighting our own council ๐ณ๐ง๐

If youโve got expertise to lend โ or a few quid to spare โ nowโs the moment. The County Councilโs blown millions of your money trying to bulldoze a 100-year-old orchard and steamroller anyone who dares defend nature. Weโve got till 16 August to get our case in. Help, in any form,

The Cambridgeshire County Council proposed busway wonโt just destroy trees. It will gut farms. One fourth-generation farmer tells how their family land will be sliced in two โ and why this might be their last harvest #NoFarmsNoFood โ๏ธ change.org/p/save-the-greโฆ

Someone told me the bonkers busway would โpromote active travelโ not knowing that cycle paths already line 3 sides of the orchard. Another through its heart wonโt cause a modal shift, but will do irreparable harm to a County Wildlife Site. Clip filmed on our way back from town ๐ฒ

Many congratulations to BlueBarrelCider & Coton Orchard for reaching the finals of the Great British Food Awards 2025 with their โOriginsโ series cider. A dry sparkling โ but for those following the Bonkers Busway saga, youโll appreciate the extra sweetness, especially


As we head to the public inquiry, a reminder of the Cllr speeches that got us here: apples โarenโt British,โ the orchardโs โunnaturalโ and โsprayed with pesticidesโ (it isnโt) โ and bulldozing it will somehow stop a burning world. Sept 16 the public has a voice, please use it ๐
