Chatting to Dotty McLeod on BBC Radio Cambridgeshire this morning about the decision Cambridgeshire County Council made to pull £88k of funding from AGE UK Cambs' Handyman service...

17/05/2026

Tune into BBC Radio Cambridgeshire tomorrow (Monday) morning around 8:10am, as I'll be talking to Dotty McLeod about the news that Cambridgeshire County Council have pulled £80k of funding from Age UK in Cambridgeshire. This means the handman service will no longer be free and there is no reason as to what CCC is going to spend the £80k on.

Exciting news for fans of Picklestix in Fisher's Yard. They are upgrading their entrance to include a ramp and wider access! So for anyone who currently can't get in, you will be able to in about 4 weeks or so! Watch this space!
Thank you Matt and the team!

URGENT heads up that at the train station, Stannah who maintain the lifts just rocked up to do maintenance and put the lift out of order, from the main car park up to the footbridge. I had pre-booked assistance and the station staff didn't even know about the maintenance! So if you need to travel, leave extra time and use the Loves Farm entrance.
It is supposed to be finished by 5pm!

(I was lucky the guy just got there and he turned the lift back on for me. It may have helped that I'm staff and on the Access panel for GTR/Great Northern!)
