Cllr Roy Gerstner – Community Activist

There are no applications at present and therefor the meeting has been cancelled.

Having been a ‘trusted’ partner in the Household Support Fund since its inception, on now seeing some of the results of how and where the support has gone – Fenland appear to have had its share, it would have been good to perhaps see where in Fenland has had the most support – The funding is still there and our main channel is Age UK and Age Concern, individual trusted partners/groups can still apply.

I wonder ‘if’ any of the Whittlesey Co-Ops will be doing something similar….

Food delivery robots have taken to the streets of Cambridge as part of a new pilot scheme by Starship Technologies, in partnership with the Co-op and enabled by Cambridgeshire County Council.

After receiving a thumbs-up from shoppers following the Cambourne pilot that started earlier this year, the decision was made by the Highways and Transport Committee to welcome the robots to the historic city streets of Cambridge.

The collaboration will be available to 12,200 households within the Cherry Hinton, Queen Edith, parts of Romsey and Coleridge areas of Cambridge. Orders can be made through the Starship food delivery app, which is available for download on iOS and Android, with groceries picked fresh in local Co-op stores on Perne Road and Cherry Hinton Road.

Cambridge residents can order their delivery to arrive in under an hour and watch the robot travel in real-time via an interactive map. Once the robot arrives, residents receive an alert and can meet and unlock it through the app.
