All Saints’ Cottenham: welcome to Revd Lynda Davies!

The evening of October 16 th saw the licensing service for Revd Lynda Davies, the new rector of All Saints’ Cottenham and All Saints’ Rampton. It was a lovely and memorable occasion with a full church and some rousing hymns. The organist said delightedly, “That was the best congregational singing I’ve ever played for: I got to pull out all the stops.” The Rt Rev David Thomson, Bishop of Huntingdon, led the service with his characteristic blend of grace and gentle good humour, and Iain Campbell from her former parish commended her to us warmly. Members of the Cottenham and Rampton community welcomed Lynda, asked her to make sure the church tower doesn’t fall down like it did 400 years ago, and invited her to do crafts with the Brownies. The service was followed by a fantastic spread of refreshments from the All Saints’ Cottenham team (pictured below). We are all very much looking forward to Lynda’s ministry with us. ...

Recycling - paper to go straight in blue wheelie bins

South Cambridgeshire District Council is changing the way used paper is collected from residents for recycling. From 11 December, residents won’t need to use their caddies to recycle paper anymore. From that date, residents should place their used paper directly into their blue wheelie bins instead. This used paper will still be recycled after being sorted from other materials at our facility near Waterbeach. Residents can keep their caddy to use for anything they like. Alternatively, they can be recycled by being dropped off at the nearest household waste recycling centre. They should not be placed into wheelie bins. The decision to withdraw the paper caddy service was taken at South Cambridgeshire District Council’s Cabinet meeting in September. The decision will save taxpayers money and simplify the recycling process for residents. Because of this upcoming change, the District Council will not be delivering any new paper caddies. If they are lost or stolen befor...
