Good news from Cambridgeshire County Council - EV charging is now (finally!) operational at the St Ives Park & Ride.
There are 9 chargers next to the bus stop, all powered by renewable energy generated on site through those solar panels.
Let me know if you use them and what is your feedback!

The more we legitimise anti-migration narratives, the worse it’ll get.

Still a little bit of light after the Parish Council meeting 😊
This evening I attended my first Holywell-cum-Needingworth Parish Council meeting and introduced myself to Councillors.
Looking forward to attend future meetings and writing County Council reports once the county meetings start.
