Just back from the celebrations at the Red Lion, Hinxton, where there was a cake and drinks and lots of goodwill and merriment among all the people who worked hard over the last few months to see off the proposed Hanley Grange development. Andrew Lansley, our local MP, was there. He really rolled up his sleeves and organised us all, and lobbied hard with Caroline Flint, and the Wellcome Trust and Tesco, to make them see sense. It seems a very long time ago since I sat in someone's kitchen in Whittlesford with Andrew and we looked at an OS map and tried to make sense of this proposal.
Final thought: in a few years time, this will be back, in one shape or another, so the watchword must be eternal vigilance.
