Priory Park precious in dividing St Neots from Little Paxton
Priory Park precious in dividing St Neots from Little Paxton

A warm and muggy day at home preparing the council committee meetings and progressing my local history project before an evening meeting of Priory Doom where I called for unity in preserving Priory Park as the natural barrier between St Neots and Little Paxton

A morning and afternoon shared between working in my office and watching the televised cricket. England were gradually bowling themselves into a losing position and the position was quite hopeless by the end of the day. For my work, I continued to prepare for my Council Committee meetings, getting information from Marion Woodbridge on Papworth and Mike Pope on Cambs County transportation issues. I was also getting slowly back to my local history project, with particular emphasis on copying the relevant sections of the Samuel Jones files, before Ken Gambier headed off for his retirement. This evening, I attended the committee meeting of Priory Doom and commented on my suggestion that trees be planted along Mill Lane to mark the end of the new housing zone; and I also tried to persuade them that they should share logos with the present DOOM to draw upon mutual support and recognition. Arrived home quite late on a warm and sunny day, with the air very muggy
