They cut a lot out and focused less on the out of date disabled Traffic Order, which was the point of the article! But good publicity as always!

Today (10th October) is World Mental Health Day — a reminder that mental health matters just as much as physical health.
This year’s theme, set by the World Health Organization, is “Mental health is a universal human right.”

In the UK, millions of people experience mental health challenges each year — from anxiety and depression to stress, burnout, and beyond. Yet, too often, these struggles stay hidden behind a smile.
So today, let’s remind ourselves and each other:
💬 It’s okay to not be okay.
🤝 Asking for help is a sign of strength.
❤️ Small check-ins — a text, a call, a chat — can make a big difference.

If you or someone you know is struggling, please don’t face it alone. Support is available:
📞 Samaritans: 116 123 (free, 24/7)
📱 Shout: Text 85258 for confidential text support
💻 Mind: www.mind.org.uk

I have had to keep a very big secret for the best part of 6 months. Last year I made it to the final 4 in the Great Neighbour category at the BBC Cambridgeshire Make a Difference Awards.

This year I was asked to be a judge in the category I was nominated in last year and pick the winner and present their award! I was very honoured and humbled to be asked and want to thank all of the amazing team at BBC Radio Cambridgeshire for being so lovely and welcoming. And a massive well done to all the nominees, finalists and winners. You all make the world we live in a much better place!

I'm fed up of having to go to war with non disabled people on public St Neots pages and groups. Usually people with no lived experience who seem to think they know disabled laws and what life is like for people living with disabilities, like to pick a fight.
It's ironic as we spend our lives fighting to get the same treatment, that they take for granted!!
