Cambridge City Council has an incessant need to bombard the residents of Cambridge with junk mail (most organisations are the same). This week we received another issue (we are already up to number 4) of "Cambridge Matters", which is mainly about "recycling" (as the city defines this word). The only really useful information in the entire twenty-four page glossy magazine is that the change from weekly to alternate weekly collection of ordinary garbage is starting the week of 17 October.
Other than that, and the usual patronising advice about recycling, the only other part of the magazine worth mentioning is an advert which says "It's not just for the tourists. Cambridge is a great place to live but isn't it funny how we don't always make the most of it." Yes that is funny. Could it be that (ordinary) Cambridge residents don't like to constantly be told by the Cambridge ruling elite how terrible cars are, and how the city will make it as difficult as possible for anybody who dares to drive anywhere in the city? Answers on a postcard...
