We've been looking at what Papworth Hospital's move might mean to the local area... here's the background to the story.

In May 2014 the government confirmed that Papworth Hospital , externalwas on the move.

One of the country's largest specialist heart and lung hospitals - it'll be transfered 13 miles from the village of Papworth Everard to the sprawling Cambridge Biomedical Campus, external - in a year's time.

It's the culmination of a long-running campaign to replace the old hospital, some parts of which are 150 years old.

The move is costing £165m. That'll be paid for through a 30-year Private Finance Initiative (PFI) deal, and partly through public sector funding.

Papworth Hospital currently treats more than 23,700 in-patients and day cases, plus nearly 65,000 outpatients every year.

The new unit will have 310 beds.

Concerns have been raised by local people about what will happen to the hospital site in Papworth when it leaves the village for Cambridge next April.

Chief executive Stephen Posey has said the trust is still working on the best possible outcome for the site, but villagers in Papworth Everard feel local businesses could see a reduced footfall.

David Shaw, a town planner from Peterborough, says finding a future for the site could be challenging. 

"It's obviously very important to the local people but I think you're going to be very, very lucky if you find anyone who wants to take that over in a hurry," he said.

"The other problems we have of course are that the health care people who run the site do the world's best job at looking after your heart, they are not the best at working out what to do with an old NHS site."

In a statement, Papworth chief executive Stephen Posey said the existing site will need to be sold and they are currently working with a range of interested parties to find the best possible outcome.

The Labour MP for Cambridge, Daniel Zeichner, has been speaking after the PM's decision to call a snap General Election earlier today.

Mr Zeichner said it was "a chance to give people a second say on Brexit".

"I think Theresa May has seen what's coming ahead and she knows it's not going to be good for the country and wouldn't fancy an election in three years' time," Mr Zeichner told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire.

"I think in Cambridge it'll be a slightly different election given we voted to remain in the EU.

"One is nervous, but also excited.

"I suspect [the Cambridge seat] will be hotly contested, but I'm ready and raring to go."

Mr Zeichner is the only MP in Cambridgeshire who isn't Conservative, and one of only four Labour MPs in the BBC East region - the others being Clive Lewis in Norwich South with and Kelvin Hopkins and Gavin Shuker in Luton North and South respectively.

What a glorious day after the long Bank Holiday weekend.

Here are some of the best shots from around the county, captured by our BBC Weather Watchers...

A Peterborough counsellor hopes that Prince William and Prince Harry speaking out about mental health will help to break down barriers.

The Duke of Cambridge says the British "stiff upper lip" shouldn't stop people getting help.

His comments come after Prince Harry revealed he sought counselling about the death of their mother.

Michelle Lay says the royals' remarks are much needed.

"A big part of mental health is the stigma that surrounds it," she said.

"Mental illness is caused by a disease of the brain -  a chemical imbalance.

"Much like a physical illness."

Prince William and Lady Gaga have chatted about mental health as part of the Heads Together #oktosay campaign.

The Duke of Cambridge asked the pop star to get involved after she wrote an open letter last year, revealing she has Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

In their video call - released on the Royal Family's Facebook page - they discussed ending the stigma. 

Prince William said: "It's so important to break open that fear and that taboo."

Lady Gaga added that people with mental health problems were "not hiding anymore".

Volunteers from a Newmarket charity were out over the Easter weekend, taking furniture to people left in need after a fire in the town last week.

John Durrant, from Newmarket Open Door, said: "Quite a few people have been staying in hotels, one in Barton Mills, one in Newmarket, just trying to co-ordinate when they're going to move, what they might need, what we can try and help provide, what we can ask the local community help with."

More than 20 people were left homeless by the blaze in George Lambton Avenue.

Parking enforcement officers have begun working at Peterborough City Hospital today.

Management at the hospital say staff, patients and visitors are parking illegally at the site, blocking emergency access routes.

An additional 150 spaces were made available to patients and visitors in January.

The officers will focus on vehicles blocking emergency routes, parking on double yellow lines and using disabled bays without a blue badge.

Plans for a five-acre chicken farm on the outskirts of Peterborough have met with strong opposition by locals.

The farm would house more than 100,000 chickens, which would be brought in from the Midlands and London, and a Halal slaughterhouse on land near to King's Delph Drove in Farcet.

Many people living nearby aren't happy and say the smell would be intolerable, as well as an increase in traffic.

A farm owner, who neigbours the land proposed for the site, says the planting of trees around the site is "not enough to stop the smell."

"With a westerly wind, it will cover in excess of 1,500 homes at the top of the village," he said.

"Trees won't stop that."

Similar planning applications have been refused before.  

Comments on the plans need to be submitted to Huntingdonshire District Council by next Thursday.
