WAR MEMORIAL PLAQUE UNVEILING

Saturday February 8 at 2.30pm 

Those who came to the Harvest Supper last year will have seen the plaque that was to be installed at the War Memorial to commemorate the air crash victims of February 1944.

The formal unveiling will take place at the War Memorial and afterwards at the village hall for refreshments where there will be a display of articles, artefacts, memoirs and cuttings from newspapers of the tragedy.

Everyone welcome.

The service will be conducted by the British Legion and we anticipate that some descendants of the victims’ families and those family members of the victims will be able to join us.

BUS SERVICES

Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority launched a new on-demand bus service on January 11. 

This flexible service, called ‘Tiger on Demand’ allows residents to use their app to book rides to and from designated virtual bus stops (those in Prickwillow are at Lark Bank, Village Hall and Kingdon Avenue), offering a more convenient and tailored option to meet the community’s needs.
