We first told you about this bizarre new Cambridge junction, dubbed the "ghost roundabout", after we spotted a chap on Twitter yesterday asking other users what on Earth it was.

If you haven't yet seen it, a cobbled brick circle now straddles the road and pavement along Tenison Road, after it opened again last Friday following months of works.

We asked for your help to decipher what it was, and it certainly appears to have caught your imagination - and prompted some ridicule.

Below are some of our favourite comments posted on BBC Look East, external and Radio Cambridgeshire's, external Facebook pages.

Carol Mallett - It's so the drunks keep going round in circles, the cops know where to find them.

Gilbert Aldous - It looks like a target to me. Newly designated sinkhole space maybe?

Donna Dean - Next entry for the Turner Prize?

Cliver Ambler - The world's smallest velodrome.

Marion Marshall - UFO landing pad?

Robin Petherbridge - Pedestrian roundabout?

We've found out from the county council it's just a feature in the road that was put in to slow drivers down and it has no other purpose.

The East Anglian Air Ambulance, external (EAAA) charity has flown nearly 20,000 lifesaving missions since it was launched in 2000.

It's now been honoured for its work across Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk. 

Three of its workers picked up honours from the Association of Air Ambulances, external at an event in London.

Capt Steve Norris, from Norwich, has been named Pilot of the Year. 

Steve, 50, (pictured below, second from right) who's worked with EAAA for 10 years says "it's a lovely feeling at the end of the day to know we've helped someone in their hour of need".

Volunteer of the Year went to 73-year-old Jamie Edghill, from Cromer (pictured below holding his award).

Following a career with the fire service, he became a volunteer 12 years ago, and has raised over £600,000 for the charity. He also visits local schools to educate youngsters about the work of the emergency services.

Alastair Wilson, 68, from Great Massingham, was presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award in honour of his work with air ambulances both in the UK and further afield. The skilled surgeon (pictured below second from right) has been EAAA medical director since 2014.

The next council to decide whether to have a new authority for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, along with an elected mayor, is Cambridgeshire County.

I'm at the debate this afternoon and will bring you the key points on Twitter, external.

After this, it's the city council's turn this evening - and by then we will know whether devolution gets the thumbs up or if the idea is put in the bin.

So far five of the seven councils in the county back the plans, which would transfer more decision-making powers to the area from central government.

I've just found out some more details from the trust that runs Peterborough City Hospital, regarding the NHS ID checks that look likely to be rolled out by the government.

A hospital spokeswoman said it introduced checks in 2013, advising people in their appointment letters for planned treatment that they would need to bring along identification.

She said since it introduced the scheme, it had managed to recover 95% of money owed by foreign users of the NHS, up from 37% before.

In a statement, the trust said patients were sent clear instructions to bring their passport, visa details or any surcharge they may have already paid for free NHS treatment if they were a visitor to the UK, and proof of UK residency. 

"If they are unable to provide this and the patient does not require urgent care then they will be informed that any treatment they receive will be chargeable – the decision to proceed is then left to the patient. If the treatment is urgent then we will provide it immediately but they will firstly be informed that it will be chargeable," it said.

"Since implementing these standards, the trust has not experienced a notable decrease in attendances of non-UK residents but we do now identify non-eligible patients sooner, and at a higher volume than previously."

A second allegation of racist abuse from a Cambridge United fan to a Wycombe Wanderers player has come to light. 

Police are already investigating alleged racist remarks from a few U's fans towards Wycombe striker Adebayo Akinfenwa, during Saturday's League Two match at the Abbey. 

But speaking on last night's Sports Hour on BBC Radio Cambridgeshire, U's panellist Michael Barnes said he'd heard a racist comment directed at Wycombe player Anthony Stewart (pictured) and he gave the perpetrator a talking-to.

It's not known if Stewart heard the alleged remark.

We've contacted the club for comment 

A Combined Authority for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough would include the following organisations, but not replace them.

They are Peterborough City Council, Cambridgeshire County Council, Fenland District Council, Huntingdonshire District Council, East Cambridgeshire District Council, South Cambridgeshire District Council, Cambridge City Council and the Greater Cambridge Greater Peterborough Local Enterprise Partnership, external.

And the benefits are said to include:

• A new £20m annual fund for the next 30 years (£600m in total) to support economic growth, development of local infrastructure and jobs.
• £170m to build "affordable" housing, including £100m for affordable, rent and shared-ownership – particularly in response to housing issues in South Cambridgeshire and Cambridge City areas. That includes a specific £70m fund to meet housing needs in Cambridge, which Cambridge City Council indicates would be spent on new council housing.
• Supporting the delivery of the Wisbech Garden Town and the Wisbech-Cambridge rail connection.
• Transport infrastructure improvements such as the A14/A142 junction, upgrades to the A10 and the A47, a new station at Soham and a new Ely North railway junction to boost trains to London.
• Investment in a Peterborough University with degree-awarding powers.

Tonight we should know whether Cambridgeshire and Peterborough will create a new authority with an elected mayor.

South Cambridgeshire District Council is the latest to back devolution plans, which will see the transfer of some decision-making powers and millions of pounds of funding from central government to the county.

Last night the leader of South Cambridgeshire, Peter Topping, said devolution presented a huge opportunity to tackle two of the key issues for the area – housing and transport.

Five of the seven councils set to form a new Combined Authority have backed a devolution deal, with Cambridgeshire County Council and Cambridge City Council meeting later today.

If the councils all vote to proceed, a Combined Authority will be established next year with mayoral elections taking place in May 2017.

All councils would retain their sovereignty and continue to deliver services for residents as they do currently – even if part of a Combined Authority.

Last week plans for devolution for Norfolk and Suffolk were called off after West Norfolk council voted against them.

Train services on the Norwich to Cambridge line, external are returning to normal, although disruption is expected until 11:00.

A Network Rail team has removed the trees that had fallen onto lines between Wymondham and Norwich.

You may have seen in the national news today that patients could have to show proof of identity to get some NHS care in order to stop abuse of the system by foreign visitors.

The senior civil servant at the Department of Health, Chris Wormald, told a Commons committee it was a controversial move but already happened in some NHS trusts.

One of those trusts is in fact Peterborough, which has been checking people's ID for some time.

A spokeswoman for Peterborough and Stamford Hospitals NHS Trust said: "In response to a national requirement, our trust devised a process for recovering money for the NHS from the treatment of non-EU citizens. 

"This was looked at by the Cabinet Office and we understand our system may be used as a basis for other trusts to follow.

"We are delighted to have been identified as an exemplar of good practice."

Cambridgeshire Police has just told me the A505 near Flint Cross should reopen soon, following a crash between two cars and a van.

It happened at about 06:15 and recovery has been taking place.

An ambulance was called, but I've yet to hear about any injuries. I'll keep you posted.

There's delays for Greater Anglia passengers, external travelling between Norwich and Cambridge - two trees are blocking both the lines between Wymondham and Norwich. 

Network Rail staff are expected on site at 09:30, with equipment to cut the trees up and clear the line.

Disruption is expected until 10:30.

Some roads around the county are having to be shut because of the high water, including in Little Paxton and Hail Weston...

There are also some problems at Alconbury...

And best avoid the fallen tree in Fenstanton...

The tributaries of the River Welland around Werrington and Glinton in Peterborough are currently on "flood alert", meaning flooding could be possible if the rain continues.

However, the latest information from the Environment Agency says the river levels are expected to recede slowly throughout today.

Indeed, this map, external really does highlight how we've missed the worst of it overnight, with a sea of yellow and red alerts blanketing the rest of England and Wales.

Hope you're well. 

I'm sure I don't need to tell you, but put the brolly away - it isn't going to stay up in this weather. Although I hear the rain and wind may be calming down later - we'll bring you a full forecast soon.

Looks like we've avoided the worst of Storm Angus, which has battered many parts of the UK. This is the scene in Tameside, Greater Manchester, below.

There are no "flood warnings" currently in place for Cambridgeshire, but there are some less serious "flood alerts" - meaning it could be possible if the rain continues. I'll bring you the latest soon.

I've also checked the roads and rails and there's only one problem to tell you about - avoid the A505 if you can near Flint Cross because of a crash.

It'll be a largely cloudy night with showers or longer spells of rain, heavy at times. It'll be blustery too, with winds near gale force at times around parts of the coast. Lows of 6C (43F).

Tomorrow there may be a little brightness or sunshine, but overall it will be cloudy with further rain or showers. 

However, there are some places that could see a largely dry day. Temperatures, for some of us, climbing into double figures with highs about 10C (50F).

Theresa May has been in the Cambridge today for the first time since she became prime minister. 

She was at the Wellcome Genome Centre near Hinxton to announce an investment of £2bn in science development and research.

She said the type of work taking place there is exactly what the government wants to get behind.

"What I've seen here in Cambridge is this excellent example of the knowledge base of the university coming together with industry and commerce and developing projects that are benefiting patients in the NHS," she said.
