Defibrillators can save lives
Every year around 60,000 people have cardiac arrests outside of hospitals, but only a few casualties survive.
CPR and early defibrillation within the first three minutes can give up to a 70%** chance of survival.

The Haslingfield defibrillator is in the old BT phone box on the High Street (opposite Lilac Close).

BikeBus Explorer service to end in March
The BikeBus Explorer’s last day of service will be Sunday 27 March.
The service launched in July 2014 for a pilot period of just under one year with funding from Cambridgeshire County Council and a grant from The National Trust.
The pilot was extended up until the end of March this year. Unfortunately the passenger numbers have not grown enough and the service is not able to cover its costs. For more details on the service please click here.
Textile Bank at Porkers Lane
South Cambridgeshire District Council provides a network of textile and book recycling banks across the District. The contractor delivering this service notified the council late last week that they will begin removing all banks during week commencing 15 February and 22 February.
This extreme lack of notice has not allowed an alternative arrangement to be put in place and regrettably there will be a period where recycling bring facilities will not be available. For more details, click Read more
