Welcome!
Welcome!
This is the first in what I hope will be a lively area for news and debate concerned with the county of Huntingdonshire - technically obsolete and subsumed by Cambridgeshire - in the east of England (UK).
The purpose of the site is to provide a focus, a meeting point, a nucleus around which information concerned with Huntingdonshire can coalesce to form something useful for everybody.
In the years in which I’ve lived in the county I’ve watched the gradual erosion of the visible signs of the county and its infrastructure in the name of ‘advancement’ or whatever the bean-counters try to sugar-coat it as.
It’s been a very slow decline, each change being almost imperceptible, but the cumulative damage has been significant. With the recent announcements about the downgrading of Hinchingbrooke hospital (to what?) this has got out of hand. What never surfaces is the cost to the residents who bear the brunt of the changes.
Before everything disappears completely I wanted to provide a means for like-minded folk to communicate and also to capture information on the county - a resource to be used.
Please contribute and make use of it.
