Our next village litter pick and cycle path tidy will take place on Saturday 13th November 2021 at 2pm. Meet at the village hall on the Lambs Lane Recreation Ground for equipment and routes for the litter pick. For the cycle path tidy, meet on the village green. As ever, the more people who help, the more ground we can cover. Refreshments for volunteers will be served at the village hall from 4pm.It is a great help if we know in advance how many people might be taking part, so we can plan routes. Please let us know, preferably by emailing Peter Pilbeam on pgp1@cam.ac.uk or phoning the Chris Ward on 01954 251813.www.sustainablecottenham.org.uk/litter-picks-and-cycle-path-clearance/ ...

We've been contacted by an ex-Cottenham Primary teacher about a new project she and a friend are hoping to get off the ground: the Cambridge Library of Things. It would be a place where you can borrow objects that you don’t want to or can’t buy. This helps you save money and reduce waste by affordably renting out useful stuff like drills, sound systems and sewing machines. Sharing things that we only use now and again cuts down on clutter, is more affordable, and is kinder to our planet. At this early stage they are looking for support to set one up in the Cambridge area. If you have two minutes, visit the Cambridge Library of Things campaign page www.libraryofthings.co.uk/heatmap/cambridge and show your support and sign up to receive news about how the project is progressing. ...
