It would seem that there is much confusion about what to put into which wheelie bin. BBC's Countryfile has just done a piece about this, highlighting the fact that different councils have different rules. Our council, Huntingdon District Council, has produced a very helpful guide to help in this matter. It can be found here -

Two officers of Engie, a firm involved in the possible development of Wyton airfield, came to talk to an open meeting in the Village Hall about what they were proposing. This was part of a publicity exercise when they could explain and also receive comments from those affected.

2019 Red Nose Day walkers - 16th March Photo by Mike Mayson
Archaeology THIS PROJECT SEEMS TO HAVE COME TO A COMPLETE HALT - PITY!
Michael Saxby, once of No 2, School Road, has written in to tell us of his experience at Broughton moat in 1974 when, after a storm had blown down an oak tree, he found a tunnel. He entered and after about 50 yards there was a wooden door with a hole and an iron cross in it. Looking through, he could see some things stacked by the wall but he got scared and left. The next day he filled the hole in.
Michael came over in late August 2018 and we walked across to where the hole had been - completely overgrown now. More information will be posted in due course.
I wonder whether anyone else has information about this intriguing story.
Please feel free to use the CONTACT form on this website if you have anything to add.
Sybil Tabbit has written in, saying she is interested in the above. She used to live at No 1 The Causeway (house now gone) and played in the moat field with her sister Christine.
