Cemeteries not only provide a peaceful place to contemplate and commemorate the dead. They are also great places for studying #geology 🪦 #SpookyGeology #Halloween 🎃

The take up of the #TigerPass is definitely one of the big policy successes for myself as Mayor and the @CambsPboroCA Combined Authority and has really helped with developing our collective ambition for a bus network which will eventually work for all
🎉 Exciting news! We’ve hit 30,000 applications for the Tiger Bus Pass 🐯🚍 A huge thank you to our community for embracing affordable travel. If you're under 25, you can grab a pass and get £1 bus fare! Ready to hop on board? Sign up here ➡️ orlo.uk/TigerBusPass_vWhsm #TigerBusPass

We are happy to share that our 2023 - 2024 Annual Review is published!
The review is a snapshot of the work we carried out during the year.
Take a look here: buff.ly/3UjZPl9
For an accessible version please visit: buff.ly/4fbcTBm
ALT We see a group of people sat outside in a country park at a wooden table. Six people are sat down and three stood at the back. Everyone is smiling and looking at the camera. They are all wearing coats and have mugs on the table in front of them. We see the CCVS logo in the corner of the image and the words: Annual Review 2023-2024.
