Ex-minister fears farmers will suffer following Brexitpublished at 17:11 British Summer Time 14 October 2016

BBC Political editor, East of EnglandFormer Cambridgeshire MP and Farming Minister, Sir Jim Paice, fears some farmers will go out of business post-Brexit.
He told Sunday Politics East: "I fear, sadly, farmers are going out of business and I fear there will be more.
"I am not a protectionist, but I am anxious it is fair trade and that means if we have to comply with controls on pesticides or animal welfare, then we should only import food produced to the same standards.
"To import food produced to lower standards than our farmers are allowed to produce would be very unfair competition."

MP says Peterborough a 'dumping ground' for homeless peoplepublished at 16:36 British Summer Time 14 October 2016
Peterborough MP Stewart Jackson says he's concerned the city is being used as a "dumping ground" for the homeless.
Government statistics suggest there are 124 homeless people in priority need in the city, while Cambridge has just 24.
Figures released today show homelessness in Peterborough has risen by more than a third in two years.
Last month the city council started using Travelodge hotels to help cope with the rise in people needing homes.
The authority said it has seen an "unprecedented spike" in the number of people it had to look after and was spending more than £1m to meet emergency housing needs.
Tonight, Mr Jackson is holding a public meeting to investigate a housing deal that could see 70 families be made homeless at St Michael's Gate in Parnwell.
'Sentimental' words on Cambridgeshire gravestone refusedpublished at 15:57 British Summer Time 14 October 2016

BBC NewsA woman has been refused permission to put the words she wanted on her husband's gravestone in Cambridgeshire because they have been branded as overly sentimental, reports The Telegraph, external.
Image source, GoogleTom Scott, 44, died last March and his widow, Clara, came up with a poem for the headstone in St Andrew's churchyard in Witchford.
But Judge Anthony Leonard, who is chancellor of the Diocese of Ely, said the words had no Christian significance.
Sheldon Jackson, who writes for the Cemetery Club blog, says there should be much more freedom surrounding this issue.
"You can have this standard, 'in loving memory' and 'from the remembrance of' but I think, even if you choose to have the works of say, Shakespeare or something on your headstone, surely the words chosen by your family are a far more reflective and honest way of remembering you, than a standard piece of prose or text," she said.
The Diocese of Ely said it was "bound by the chancellor’s ruling in this matter, which has been made in accordance with the law relating to Church of England churchyards and memorials, in existence since 2004".
Its statement added: "We are working to ensure the regulations governing churchyard memorials are applied correctly and fairly throughout the diocese, and regret any distress caused to the late Mr Scott's family."
Epitaph not allowed as 'too sentimental'published at 14:25 British Summer Time 14 October 2016
A woman has been refused permission to put the words she wanted on her husband's gravestone because they have been ruled as "over sentimental and not of Christian significance".
Clara Scott has been told by the chancellor of Ely Diocese, who approves matters relating to consecrated church yards, that the tribute "conflicts with church regulations".
Sheldon Jackson, who writes for the Cemetery Club blog, told BBC Radio 4's The World at One it was much more meaningful to put "words chosen by your family who knew you, rather than a standard message" on your headstone.

End of twitter postJed Ramsay, river manager, said one of their boats spotted it in the river today.
"It's relatively common to find sofas or bicycles, but a fridge-freezer... I thought it must take more effort to dump it in the river, rather than call the council to get rid of it," he said.
Mr Ramsay said the team once found a car which had been cut up before being dumped in the Cam, but generally their finds are more mundane.
"Dumping these things in the river is pretty selfish behaviour," he added.

It was set up by Upwell landowner William Hodson, who hand-picked the first members who had to be "working men... not mere professors".

After the colony collapsed, its buildings remained in use until the last ones were pulled down in the 1950s.

The colony at Manea Fen: A community affairpublished at 11:35 British Summer Time 14 October 2016

BBC NewsIn the short time the colony existed, it's believed they built 24 cottages, two large communal halls (one of dining and one as a library), a kitchen, workshops and a 60ft (18m) tower to view the Fenland countryside.
Image source, Cambridge Archaeological UnitArchaeologists, with a team of local volunteers, found two brick-lined sunken floors (above) which may have belonged to outhouses, with a number of pits full of 19th Century rubbish.
Image source, Cambridge Archaeological UnitBricks marked "Drain" (above) were used in the outbuildings, which meant they were exempt from tax between 1826 and 1850 - provided they were used for drainage structures and not other buildings. This "raises questions about the colonists' adherence to contemporary law," said Dr Brittain.
The dig is one of a number of projects run by the three-year Ouse Washes Landscape Partnership , externalscheme, funded by a £900,000 Heritage Lottery Fund grant.

Board calls on government to give more time to tackle congestionpublished at 10:01 British Summer Time 14 October 2016
Kate Scotter
BBC NewsAs we've been telling you this morning, the Greater Cambridge City Deal board has not ruled out building a new off-road busway between Cambourne and Cambridge, at a cost of £142m.
But it has said that more time is needed to meet targets set by the government to tackle congestion.
Lewis Herbert, chairman of the board, said: "The government set us a target of achieving various objectives by 2019.
"So it isn't a vanity project. We want the government to give us the time of a 10-year plan and then we won't be under this pressure to deliver schemes in four years."
Cambourne to Cambridge busway 'essential' to beat congestion, says boardpublished at 09:52 British Summer Time 14 October 2016

BBC NewsA planned busway between Cambourne and Cambridge is an "essential" project to meet government targets, according to the leader of the Greater Cambridge City Deal board.
MP Heidi Allen has called the £142m proposals a "vanity project".
But Lewis Herbert, chairman of the board, said it was needed to tackle the increasing congestion problems.
He said: "We've got the dualling of the A428 occurring, we've got large volumes of cars coming in from that route from the west, the existing busway carries 3.75m passengers a year.
"We can't put off the fact that we have got to tackle congestion."
Govia Thameslink Rail admits its service has 'not been good enough'published at 08:40 British Summer Time 14 October 2016
BBC News EnglandThe boss of Govia Thameslink Rail, which operates the Thameslink and Great Northern services, has admitted "our service on parts of the franchise has not been good enough", but said the issues raised from the Transport Select Committee report were already public.
GTR's chief executive Charles Horton, said: "Our passengers have already seen 400 new vehicles on our network in the past two years [and] extended smart card technology across our network.
"We remain committed and determined to modernise the railway and deliver a better service for everyone."

Cambourne to Cambridge busway a 'vanity project', says MPpublished at 08:36 British Summer Time 14 October 2016
The Greater Cambridge City Deal board has refused to rule out building a new off-road busway between Cambourne and Cambridge, at a cost of £142m.
That's despite considerable opposition at a meeting last night, including from the South Cambridgeshire MP Heidi Allen, who called the proposals a "vanity project".
Out of five options that were drawn up, city deal officers concluded the best was an expensive off-road route. However, this was unpopular with people concerned about the cost, and impact on the environment and villages like Coton.
The board asked for more work to be done on exploring the other options. It's hoped a busway would cut the number of cars coming into the city as Cambourne expands.
