As well as the piling works, which we shared an update on this week, Jones Bros is progressing well with various elements on site including the drainage and kerbing works to the west of the underpass (pictured right).

In addition, the site team have completed the kerbing works from the eastern tie-in roundabout (pictured left) up to the railway bridge.

As a reminder, we launched our communications survey to gather feedback and opinions from local residents, businesses and commuters about the King’s Dyke project. We’d be grateful if you could please complete the short survey here: http://bit.ly/KingsDykeSurvey and please share it with anyone else you know in the area.

This year – less invitations and a smaller number of people within the Ivy Leaf.

Cambridgeshire’s Covid-19 infection rate continues to be around the highest it has ever been since the pandemic began.

Ten to 14-year-olds continue to be by far the worst affected as the virus spreads among schoolchildren.

Below we look at how every area of the county is affected.

The 3,401 cases recorded in the week to October 14 was the second highest rolling seven-day number of the whole pandemic – only eclipsed by the 3,584 seen in the week to January 4.

Latest figures, for the week to October 17, show 3,265 cases, up 63 (two per cent) on the previous seven days. The infection rate of 496.8 cases per 100,000 people was above the national average of 465.4.

The number of Covid-19 cases in Fenland for the week to October 17 was 599 – down just one (0.2 per cent) on the previous week.

The infection rate of 586.8 cases per 100,000 people was the highest of any district in Cambridgeshire, with Wisbech South and Peckover worst hit, with 93 cases, up from 52.

March East, with 28, had the fewest.

Fenland has recorded:

• 11,532 confirmed cases since the pandemic began, as of October 22, 2021
• 413 cases in the five days from October 18-22, according to daily case data, which is subject to change
• 225 deaths by October 22 within 28 days of a positive test, the last of which were on October 19 and 18
• 250 deaths, as of October 8, in which Covid-19 is mentioned on the death certificate

  
  

Lift off after COVID for the enthusiastic group.
