It's just over a week now until I join the Project Cambridge sky dive to raise funds for ArthurRankHospice undefined Arthur Rank is an incredibly special place. Here's a few words about why I'm supporting them. arhc.enthuse.com/pf/cheney-pa...

Had a great day in Arbury with the fantastic Fionna Tod who is working hard to make sure residents are listened to on the Arbury Court redevelopment, and has already asked a question at Council about security for the local shops and protecting the park. She will be an excellent Councillor!
Monday will be crunch time for the @camvetschool.bsky.social. Along with @pippaheylings.bsky.social and @dannychambers.bsky.social, I've written to the University to share the concerns raised by Cambridge residents. You can show your support for the Vet School at the link here: lnkd.in/eWJHj-rQ
Great to be out in West Chesterton with a fantastic team of @cambridgelds.bsky.social
A glossy A3 leaflet arrives from Arbury Liberal Democrats, with lots of local content promoting Fionna Tod, who is clearly their candidate for the May elections. Arbury has been a safe seat for Labour for many years, but perhaps the Lib Dems are feeling optimistic this year.
This week, the govt wrote to Cambridge City Council, giving Labour the option to cancel May's local elections. I believe they should go ahead. Before 15th Jan, please write to the Labour Councillors here - democracy.cambridge.gov.uk/mgMemberIndex.… & tell them democracy delayed is democracy denied.
Fantastic day in Castle today with @cambridgelds.bsky.social. Residents are clear - its time for a change from Labour.
Proud to be a tiny part of this important campaign.
I spoke at #libdemconf to support our hospices. With the nearly £1 million is to be cut from Arthur Rank hospice, I am joining Pippa Heylings, Ian Sollom & Charlotte Cane at #10downingstreet to present our petition to save their beds. Add your signature: www.cambridgelibdems.org.uk/campaigns/sa...
Yesterday, Cambridge's Labour MP abstained on Farage's Bill to leave the EHCR. The @libdems.org.uk stood up for human rights and decency. Cambridge deserves better than Labour.
Great to be out in Trumpington today with @cambridgelds.bsky.social supporting Councillor @olafhauk.bsky.social in his re-election.
Great to join South Suffolk Liberal Democrats and their fantastic candidate @markhurleyind.bsky.social today! Mark is the best choice to beat Reform on 16th October. #VoteLibDem
Another great night out in Arbury with @cambridgelds.bsky.social tonight- hearing about potholes, PIP and parking with @jamiedalzell.bsky.social @olafhauk.bsky.social and Cllr Ian Manning.
Imagine Cambridge without punting... But it would be a disaster for the whole ecosystem around the Cam.
More coverage of @cambridgelds.bsky.social plan for the Cam with thanks to @cambridgeindy.bsky.social

It was great to welcome @eddavey.libdems.org.uk o Cambridge this weekend to test out his punting skills & show him the lock islands which urgently need fixing. Read mpre about our Plan for the Cam & sign our petition here - www.cambridgelibdems.org.uk/campaigns/sa...
We need to show this issue is important enough for the government to take notice. Please join those who are calling on the Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs to urgently guarantee the funding to repair and maintain the Jesus Green lock and Baits Bite lock.
Without guaranteed govt funding, the locks could fail completely. As the Parliamentary Candidate for Cambridge, I am working with Cambridgeshire MP's Charlotte Cane, Pippa Heylings, Ian Sollom & all those concerned for the future of the Cam & our precious chalk streams to raise this in Parliament.
with both structures closed since June 2024 due to serious safety concerns after surveys revealed that both lock islands are in imminent danger of collapse. A cost of £1.5 million is required per lock for immediate stabilisation work and at least £5 million per lock for full reconstruction.
We need a plan to save the River Cam! Please sign our petition! www.cambridgelibdems.org.uk/campaigns/sa...
The Baits Bite and Jesus Green locks on the River Cam are in a critical condition,
