The results have started to come in for the Cambridgeshire County Council election, but let's take a quick look at how the council was made up in 2013...

Normally we talk about it being a Labour-run or Conservative-run council. However, Cambridgeshire County Council has been under no overall control for the past four years.

That's meant that no party had a majority - or more than half the number of councillors. So if a party wanted to get their policy through, they had to get support from councillors from other parties.

From 1997 to 2013 the Conservatives had control of the council, which it will be hoping to regain this time around. However, the opposition parties will be looking to overturn that.

There are 61 councillors being elected this year, so one party will need to get 31 seats to get a majority.

Police have charged a woman in connection with the death of a man in Peterborough. 

The 34-year-old was arrested yesterday on suspicion of the murder of Stuart Wilkinson, 53, but police are now not sure how he died following tests.

Mr Wilkinson's body was discovered by a member of the public in a play park opposite Queen's Walk in Fletton on Sunday.   

A post-mortem examination of his remains proved inconclusive, therefore his death is now being treated as unexplained, police said.

Detectives are awaiting toxicology results.

However, police have charged the woman with disposing of a corpse to obstruct the coroner and perverting the course of justice. 

She'll appear in court in the morning.

A new café has just opened in Peterborough to bring a boost to the community. 

The WestRaven community café was funded by the Big Lottery Fund.

It's partly run by volunteers (as pictured below) and prisoners who're released on temporary licence at the end of their sentences.

Manager Kevin Earl says: "In one of the most deprived areas of Peterborough it's allowed us to get to know and bring the local community together."

I've spoken to people who've popped in for a cup of tea and they've said it's been "needed for a long time". 

Tracey who volunteers told me she "loves the work, as it gives you practice to go outside to get a job - it's good for the community". 

School children unhappy with the amount of rubbish dropped outside their school have got out their high-vis jackets and pickers to do something about it. 

Pupils from Peckover Primary School in Wisbech have just taken part in their first litter-pick. 

It went so well it's now going to become a monthly event, with different year groups taking part.

As the picture shows, they've already collected a lot of rubbish from nearby pavements, footpaths and hedges.
