They cut a lot out and focused less on the out of date disabled Traffic Order, which was the point of the article! But good publicity as always!

Today (10th October) is World Mental Health Day — a reminder that mental health matters just as much as physical health.
This year’s theme, set by the World Health Organization, is “Mental health is a universal human right.”

In the UK, millions of people experience mental health challenges each year — from anxiety and depression to stress, burnout, and beyond. Yet, too often, these struggles stay hidden behind a smile.
So today, let’s remind ourselves and each other:
💬 It’s okay to not be okay.
🤝 Asking for help is a sign of strength.
❤️ Small check-ins — a text, a call, a chat — can make a big difference.

If you or someone you know is struggling, please don’t face it alone. Support is available:
📞 Samaritans: 116 123 (free, 24/7)
📱 Shout: Text 85258 for confidential text support
💻 Mind: www.mind.org.uk

It's Friday, so time for a bit of Bingo! Not your average Bingo, but see how many you tick off? 9/16 for me!

I have had to keep a very big secret for the best part of 6 months. Last year I made it to the final 4 in the Great Neighbour category at the BBC Cambridgeshire Make a Difference Awards.

This year I was asked to be a judge in the category I was nominated in last year and pick the winner and present their award! I was very honoured and humbled to be asked and want to thank all of the amazing team at BBC Radio Cambridgeshire for being so lovely and welcoming. And a massive well done to all the nominees, finalists and winners. You all make the world we live in a much better place!

I'm fed up of having to go to war with non disabled people on public St Neots pages and groups. Usually people with no lived experience who seem to think they know disabled laws and what life is like for people living with disabilities, like to pick a fight.
It's ironic as we spend our lives fighting to get the same treatment, that they take for granted!!

I have asked for this ancient bylaw to be quashed, but why are Huntingdonshire District Council ignoring it, especially Sam Wakeford! Now the disabled community are yet again suffering. Please watch.....!

A Little confused why Huntingdonshire District Council and Cambridgeshire County Council still think (after the debacle on the Market Square) that Taxi bay markings were needed on Priory Lane outside Waitrose & Partners in St Neots? (Having very recently repainted them back in) Pre-booked taxis aren't allowed to tout for business there by law and we don't have black cabs floating around like Cambridge or London. So they are basically going to be abused by people who aren't taxis. Might have been nice to put some on street disabled parking there instead? What does St Neots Town Council think?

St Neots train station has a bus replacement service put on the disabled bays further down the car park. So my shock was real when seeing disabled parking bays moved where the taxi rank was, being fenced like cattle! The feet of the fencing make it narrower! I have contacted Great Northern and Network Rail for comment on why they think this is ok!
