The Hunts Post should never have published this. This is basically a story about someone going to the police because he didn't like the way the Chairman managed the meetings.

The Apple Day event at @CUBotanicGarden on Sunday has been cancelled because the drought this summer means there aren't enough apples.
The Midsummer Common fireworks will take place on Thursday 5 November this year, as is right and proper and much better than having it on a different date that happens to be a Saturday like last year. cambridge.gov.uk/news/2026/1…
The projection from @PollingReportUK for the Cambridge parliamentary seat has the Lib Dems overtaking the Greens and moving up to second place after a year in third. Daniel Zeichner retains a comfortable lead for Labour. pollingreport.uk/seats/E1400…
