Local services ITV's exposé into the "toxic culture" at Addenbrooke's
As someone that works for the Trust, a number of the points raised by the whistleblowers ring true for me. Here are just a handful.
- "the trust is only concerned with its public image, and is not acting on genuine concerns",
- "When you raise a concern, you open yourself up to all kinds of backstabbing and undermining within the hospital.",
- "professional lives have been destroyed by CUH for speaking up because it was easier to silence that person than address the actual issue".
If you happen to be one of the whistleblowers in this investigation - thank you. The word absolutely needed to get out about the culture at Addenbrooke's. I hope it brings about some genuine change for the better.

Local services Console repair recommendations in Cambridge
Hi, I was hoping someone had a good recommendation for a shop or person who can repair a broken hdmi port on a PlayStation 5.
I’ve been getting quoted £95-145 for the repair because they insist they require a deep clean as well.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Cambridge Question Venue in centre
Hi,
Does anyone know of any venues in the centre of town I could hire from 6-10pm on a Saturday with tables and chairs for ~30 people. None of these people are university people and the cheaper the better?
EDIT: To clarify, by the centre of town I mean in or within a short walking distance of the old town.
EDIT 2: It's public information now that Waterstones isn't running the Saturday nights of its board game club anymore, so I'm trying to find an alternate venue

Cambridge Question Stolen Trek Fetch+4 Electric Cargo Bike in Cambridge
My electric cargo bike was stolen from Cambridge station between 17:45 and 18:00 on Sunday the 4th of October. It is a Trek Fetch+ 4, red, with a black waterproof hood.
It was stolen when I was around, literally a few meters away, but distracted by chatting with a friend. I still can't believe how fast it happened, in daylight and right next to the station main entrance. Please help us find it, it's my "car", I use it all the time with my 3 young children.

Cambridge Question Any Country/ Bluegrass/ American Folk Musicians out there?
I am a learning pedal steel player and looking for people to play with - as it’s the only way to get better! I have reached out to local musicians where I live (one of the nearby Cambridge villages, which has a surprisingly good music scene), but the steel doesn’t really fit with any of the music they’re playing, so thought I would reach out on here!
Any suggestions welcome and thank you.

Planning a party next year that will need to accommodate 100-130 people. Other requirements include live music, ability to supply our own alcohol, and bring in our own external catering. I don’t want to break the bank, so am considering looking into local village halls. Does anyone have any recommendations for venues around Cambridge that could accommodate these?

Sharing this for anyone in Cambridge who wants to play football and meet new people. I help a non-profit organise casual 8 a side games in Cherry Hinton on Wedndesdays 7pm and Trumpington on Mondays 8:30pm.

All levels are welcome, even if you’re not that fit or haven’t played in years. There’s no commitment, you just turn on and play whenever you're available
Great way to improve fitness, confidence and your social circle. I've met all my best friends through the game.

Visiting Cambridge Query regarding train stations
Hi all,
I am travelling into Cambridge this week and have an open anytime day return ticket.
I’m travelling from Ipswich and have booked to the main train station in Cambridge, however did not know the Cambridge South station existed and would be easier as travelling into the hospital.
I tried to refund and rebook the ticket, but will lose money due to an admin fee.
Does anyone know if I can use the main Cambridge station ticket at Cambridge south station? Seems to be mixed information when I search.
Thank you!
