Campaigners who argue an on-road option should be pursued instead of the £200million Cambourne to Cambridge busway have raised more than £100,000 to make their case at a public inquiry. The group is hoping to raise £130,000 ahead of the inquiry, which is expected to take place this summer. The funds, which have so far reached £114,000, will be used to employ a legal team and professional expert to represent them.

Residents who rely on regular prescribed medication are reminded to make sure they have enough to see them through the upcoming Easter bank holiday weekend. GP practices will be closed over the bank holiday weekend - Friday, 18 April to Monday, 21 April - and only some pharmacies will be open, meaning it will not be possible to collect a prescription at short notice.

A hospital trust will lose up to 500 non-clinical jobs after it was asked to reduce the size of its workforce. Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (CUH) has been asked to cut the cost of its support functions “to April 2022 levels”, a spokesperson said. This means a reduction of around 500 posts in non-clinical areas, such as admin and clerical roles. CUH currently employs about 13,000 staff and the loss of 500 roles is the equivalent of about four per cent of its workforce.

Hi @johnmbrampton - we're running a piece on the busway flooding in the @CambridgeIndy tomorrow. Would you mind if I quoted from the question you had intended to have answered at the county council meeting today on the matter?
