The latest news from the Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Combined Authority:
Blackout, lockdown.I won’t be alone in seeing parallels between the war in Europe that ended this week 75 years ago and the national emergency we’re facing today – a common enemy, a community-first attitude, compliance with irksome but life-saving rules, death and self-sacrifice on all Fronts, and many heroes emerging.
People in our region are incredibly versatile in making the best of whatever situation they find themselves in.
It’s disappointing that we must grit our teeth for a few more weeks in solitary, but we’re using that time well to make plans for the Recovery.
As Lockdown is extended for another three weeks, I can’t help reflecting on what an incredible game-changer digital connectivity has been during these lonely and unsettling days.
They used to say that a week is a long time in politics, but this April, none of us can take a day for granted.
Today we face an unexpected new future and, in many ways, we all have to face it alone.
