It seems like a sleeping satellite helped the British Transport Police in Cambridgeshire last night.

A number of Good Samaritans have come forward to help a Cambridge pensioner, after his electric bike was stolen from outside the rowing club where he coaches. 

Brian Ellis, who's in his 80s, needs the bike to train and after it was taken, he went out and bought a new one costing about £1,000. 

After members of the Champion of the Thames Rowing Club heard about the theft from its President and coach, they came together to help and raised £900 in just 36 hours to help to pay for the new bike.

Peterborough United have rejected a bid from another League One club for Ricky Miller, says chairman Darragh MacAnthony.

Plans have been submitted for a new school at RAF Croughton - an US air base near Brackley.

It follows the planned closure of three other bases used by the USAF - RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk and RAF Alconbury and RAF Molesworth in Cambridgeshire announced in 2015 - and means 1,300 extra personnel will be relocated to Croughton by 2022.

RAF Croughton - located off the B4031 - has an elementary (primary) school for 60 children up to the age of 11, but the new building will cater for 470 pupils of all ages and 60 staff.

The pupils will follow a US curriculum and some will have to be transported in by bus from off-site accommodation.

The school is likely to get planning permission next week.

In the previous post, we mentioned David Learner, an actor from Ely who's thrilled Ely has a brand new cinema. 

David now runs the Mr Simms Olde Sweet Shoppe in the city, but was an actor in his time. 

He was the man inside Marvin the Paranoid Android in the early 80s BBC TV series Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

There's been much excitement in Ely about the opening of the brand new multi-screen Cineworld, external cinema. 

Andrew Olley from the Ely Traders Association says it's a "great thing for Ely, it's about time isn't it? 

"I hope it will retain people in the area, people that would have travelled further afield will stay close to home."

Movie critic Mark Liversidge, says he's looking forward to a "variety" of films including smaller independent and British films and not just "blockbusters". 

David Learner, a former actor and Ely businessman isn't worried about the location being out of the city centre at the Ely Leisure Village on Downham Road.

He says it's all about "enjoying the multiplex, the experience of cinema, never seen before in Ely".

The Grand Opening of Ely's new cinema took place last night. 

The six-screen Cineworld Complex is on the new £15m Ely Leisure Village, just off the A10 and has 954 seats. 

It opens to the public on Friday, but last night there was a special screening of the new King Arthur film.

It's helped to created 30 jobs and is the city's first purpose-built cinema, since The Rex closed in the 1980s.

Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue says it has attended another deliberate fire at disused building today - the seventh in the area since 27 April.

The fire on Meadowgate Lane in Wisbech was just one of a number that the service was called out to in the last three weeks, sparking an increase in police patrols in the area. 

Crew commander Ian Cuthill said the people who started the fires "have been very lucky they have not been injured themselves".

The former RAF station in Upwood near Huntingdon, which was built 100 years ago, is set for redevelopment.

Owners have been trying to get permission to build housing on the site since the late '80s, but concerns over traffic and drainage have blocked changes.

In the meantime, vandals have been using the abandoned site as a playground.  

The owners of the base say they're relieved Huntingdonshire District Council has accepted "housing must go somewhere".

Strawsons, which owns the former base, is expecting to receive planning permission for 160 homes.

After six failed applications, the site has been included in the area's Local Development Plan.

Huntingdonshire District Council confirmed to us that subject to some last minute matters being dealt with it expects planning permission to be issued shortly.

Staff at a train maintenance company, which has sites in Cambridge as well as Bristol, Gateshead and Eastleigh, are to hold a 24-hour strike in a dispute over pay.

Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union at Arriva TrainCare will walk out on 19 May.

The RMT said the company was not prepared to negotiate pay because it was not the recognised union for its employees.

In a statement Arriva TrainCare described the action as "wholly unnecessary".

Police have sent us more information about the crash on the A605 in Elton, Cambridgeshire, on Sunday, and say they're trying to trace the driver of a silver vehicle.

Earlier we brought you news that a 19-year-old Northampton man arrested in connection with the crash, which killed two people and seriously injured another, had been released on bail until August.  

It's understood that another person may have picked up the suspect in Elton or Haddon and given him a lift to Haddon Services following the crash. Police are appealing for any witnesses to come forward.

Station commander Scott Feveyear said the damage to the house was "considerable".

"Crews made several attempts to cut away the thatch to make a fire break but the fire spread rapidly," he said.

"The roof has collapsed into the first floor and the house is structurally unstable. Crews managed to recover a lot of property from inside the house to prevent it from being damaged too, but the house has sadly been lost."

The neighbours, who alerted the couple who live in the property to the fire, have been thanked by the service for their "generosity and support".

"They stayed up throughout the night to supply us with a constant stream of tea, snacks and even breakfast.

"This was hugely appreciated by us all and we cannot thank them enough."

No-one was injured in the fire. The road remains closed while the building is made structurally safe.

Three homeless people are now living in a house in Cambridge bought by 17 people who clubbed together to pay for it.

Members of City Church Cambridge put in between £10,000 and £60,000 each to meet the £300,000 cost. 

The first residents have now been living there for about a fortnight.

The last count by the Department for Communities and Local Government stated that 40 people were sleeping rough on the streets of Cambridge nightly; a record number, and almost double the Peterborough figure.

Ed Walker, from charity Hope Into Action which is helping to run the house-buying programme, said decisions on who moves in are made after an assessment.

"We make a decision based on where they're at, whether they want to move in to the house, are they really at a point where they feel they can change," he told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire.

"Between us and them, we help them to tackle the issues that are keeping them in poverty and help them to move on.

"Our aim is to give people an environment where they can believe in themselves again. A place where they can look to make positive life choices."

When archaeologists uncovered a series of wooden houses at a quarry in Whittlesey last year, it was described as Britain's Pompeii.

The buildings at Must Farm date back to about 1,000BC - 3,000 years ago.

The dig revealed the most well-preserved Bronze Age settlement ever found in the UK, including remains of circular houses that were raised on stilts above the river, clothing, pots, furniture and food among other things. 

Now the story of the amazing discovery has gone on show at Peterborough Museum.

The exhibition, which runs until September, is small, but in time it's hoped all the Must Farm findings will go on public display.

Cambridge United will hold discussions with striker Barry Corr "in due course", but release six other players.
