The exciting local controversy is that Amey Cespa, our waste collection people, want to build an mahoosive incinerator just up the road, a couple of villages away.
Amey say "all lovely and clean, no pollution, we're gonna burn your suitable rubbish, and there'll be enough electricity generated for tens of thousands of homes."
Waterbeach residents all say "no chance, that thing is going to be a lot taller than Ely Cathedral, look ghastly and of course it will kill everyone in a fifty mile radius".
It's bouncing about with the planners- rejected once, now in appeal. To be decided by a schoolboy-ish looking Government Minister (who may or may not know his onions, I don't know anything about him).
Personally I think it's a good idea, but then I don't live in the village of the doomed.

Incidentally, out of that I only just noticed the below. That passed me by until now.
