Following the sad news of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the period of National Mourning and advice provided by the National Association of Local Councils (NALC) the Spaldwick Parish council meeting planned for Thursday 15th September has been cancelled. A meeting will be arranged for later in the month.

It is with great sadness that we heard of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Her Majesty The Queen was a much loved and highly respected figure, ruling for longer than any other British Monarch, she was renowned throughout her reign for her dedication and service to the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.

We express our heartfelt condolences to The Royal Family at this sad time.

A message from the Cambridge & Peterborough Combined Authority:

The Combined Authority is aware that over the next eighteen months the number of renewals of the concessionary bus passes is going to be potentially very high.

It is the responsibility of the pass holder to check when their pass is up for renewal and then to contact the Combined Authority to get a new one.

In order to aid the pass holder we have set up an online form which allows people to easily renew online. This online form can be found at Free Bus Passes – CPCA Transport (cambridgeshirepeterborough-ca.gov.uk) .

If people have any problems with the online form then they can also call the number on the back of their passes.
