Have you been following the council's finances?

Libby Totton Reporter from Cambridge Edition

The surplus this year is much smaller than budgeted, making higher rates a possibility.

“We've had significant increases and a lot of that is the general inflation environment right across the board," chief financial officer Ken Morris said.

‘The Maverick’ Russell loves a challenge

The Team from Patrick Hogan Village

At 96, Logan Campbell resident Russell Parrish has achieved an incredible feat - ‘knocking off’ the summit of One Tree Hill 30 times over 30 consecutive days. Plus, it was all for a great cause — raising money and awareness for Alzheimer’s in honor of his late wife Mary.

At 96, Logan Campbell resident Russell Parrish has achieved an incredible feat - ‘knocking off’ the summit of One Tree Hill 30 times over 30 consecutive days. Plus, it was all for a great cause — raising money and awareness for Alzheimer’s in honor of his late wife Mary.

Every single day of September, come rain, shine or blustering gale, Russell set off from his home at Ryman Healthcare’s Greenlane village to walk to the top of the iconic mountain set in the heart of Cornwall Park.

The idea also coincided with Ryman Healthcare’s annual Walking for Wellness challenge, which this year aptly had an Everest theme.

Watch Russell's full story.

Paddocks for Use

Corrine from Cambridge

We have a number of paddocks on a lifestyle block just out of TA with a number of fruit trees and we are currently running some sheep and a cute kunekune pig.

We would be open to letting someone take over the use of these paddocks and they can fatten up their own sheep, in return for looking after the paddocks i.e. spraying, etc. You are welcome to also look after the fruit trees and we would share the fruit. We normally give most of it away anyway. Ideal for a retired farmer wanting a project with the added bonus of having some land, animals and fruit. Open to suggestions. Thanks :-)
