Hello, and welcome to the final edition of 2025 – where did that year go? This will be the second edition put together by our new publisher, Danielle, and I personally think she did a cracking job on her first go, so looking good for the Heron moving forwards.

The County Council is asking residents for their views on matters financial. Follow the link below to read all about it – https://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/news/county-council-invites-residents-to-helpshape-future-spending – it’s your chance to have your say on how you think your money should be spent.

I have spoken to Dal Roy, who has commented that people often don’t know how to contact him, so his details are Mobile – 07885 381007, Email – droy@fenland.gov.uk and are included in his contribution in this edition, but will also be included in the contact details for the magazine in future editions – if you have any concerns, he is more than happy to listen and help where he can, or come along to the Parish Council meetings, where he attends frequently.

In this edition, there is information about vaccines and Sepsis – the latter is very personal to me as Tracy recently came down with this, and the speed at which it happened was almost unbelievable, she went from feeling slightly unwell in the evening to being admitted to hospital into the Resus unit around midnight with a temperature of over 40C/106F – left much longer and that could have been fatal, so I thought well worth raising awareness of this.

Other than that, the Heron Team wish all of our readers a happy and healthy Christmas, and see you all in the New Year.

Clive
