Flooded road needs permanent fix, say Earith residents The A1123 Earith Causeway runs alongside River Great Ouse and is often shut due to flooding.

This is a long time regular winter issue. It causes a lot of inconvenience for residents, public transport & commercial traffic. I hope they find a solution but I don’t think it will be easy!🥴😔

Dog with 'grapefruit-sized tumour' rescued in Cambridgeshire A charity says terrier Norman's owner could not afford treatment but urges others not to wait.

A very sad story with a happy ending!✨
I applaud the owner for taking Norman to Wood Green charity instead of doing what some others have done & just abandon the pet. At least this way Norman has a future. A very cute dog!
