<div>Please visit <a href="http://www.millroadcemetery.org.uk/">www.millroadcemetery.org.uk</a>, see what's happening in the cemetery, come to some events and become a Friend. There is a thriving History Group beginning work on a database such as Joanna Clarke describes; there are also plans for new benches,(thanks to an art project, some may not be dissimilar to the one she envisages) and new tree planting. The Council has recently co-ordinated a large amount grave restoration, but alas, last weekend there was a new spate of vandalism, and a lot of damage was done. We must not be disheartened, but we need all the Friends we can get!</div>

<div>Mill Road Cemetary was an old favourite of mine, and still is. Love the trees, and the overgrown shrubs, but rather lament the destruction wreaked by people on the gravestones. Would like to do a new survey of the cemetary, logging where each grave is, as best one can, and the names on them. Am not entirely disinterested, as my cousin's grave is there, she being a still born twin - the other one survived - born at the Nursing Home that has now become the Youth Hostel, in abotu 1944. Very sad</div>

<div>Re benches, yes it would be good to have some new ones in there; perhaps we could raise some funds and have a bench made by an individual out of old pieces of wood, and get the council or whoever is responsibel for those places to agree to having the bench set up. I imagine that we would need to be mindful of the mowers needs in the placing of the bench. </div>

<div>Following on Anne Garvey's comment re bike racks, I have always wanted to take a photo of the sign in the Oxfam shop window on Sidney Sussex street - it reads something like OXFAM, and i beleive there is a recycling, or at least green message with it, and underneath. NO BIKES</div>

<div>My concern everywhere in Cambridge is the lack of bike racks. There just aren't any - only fierce notices posted by shops telling you not to lean your bike against their establishment, quite reasonable if there was anywhere else. In the Market Square the other day I could find absolutely nowhere on the far non-Guildhall side to leave a bike and the Guildhall ones were all full. I hear rumours about there being a big Council scheme in the offing - I wonder if anyone has any news.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Meanwhile I do think that chasing up missing features like benches is vital.</div>
