Cambridge history Grafton Cinema Returning?

23 Upvotes

Cinema to Let advertisements have been put on the glass windows outside the former Vue Cinema, with the Property Company (Bidwells) confirming this to be a standalone unit that will be unaffected by the Grafton rebuild.

Wonder if this Beloved cinema could be returning?

Local services UK, Cambridge piano disposal or recycling

8 Upvotes

I'm dealing with my late mother's estate. She has an upright piano which we're going to have to dispose off. Obviously can try listing on various sites, including the free ones, but if we need to dispose of it I'm after recommendations for companies that'd deal with it.

It's in reasonable condition but would require tuning if it was to be re-used.

Also interested in recommendations for piano moving services if it turns out that my sister's able to take it.

Cheers

Grumbles/rants Hostile people?

89 Upvotes

We have travelled from the north west. Some beautiful sites. Today on Voi scooters some kids started asking us for a ride on the back of the scooter and we said no. Then they started shouting at us. Whilst stopped at the lights a presumably homeless woman came up to me to tell me she will put me in a headlock and the men with her will beat me up and to fuck off. I have no idea what that was about.

We then went to Tesco and all of the red bulls were security tagged... Which isn't even the case in my local Tesco!

Are these normal experiences in Cambridge? As I said I'm from the north west and have lived across the north west. There's definitely a larger homeless population and a lot of stupid kids. But they don't tend to interact with you and threaten you

Other Parking at the biomedical campus

0 Upvotes

I'm considering taking a job that involves commuting to the biomedical campus (almost) everyday. What is the parking situation like for staff? Busy? Easy to find parking if you're early enough?

Some of the Cambridge multi story cark parks have been super tight and not very accommodating for stressing drivers as well😅

Edit: I'm not going to say where I'm commuting from, that's weird. Public transport isn't financially or time-wise viable

Other Donating plastic aprons

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas for local organisations/charities/schools/clubs who might appreciate hundreds of disposable plastic aprons.

For context, I'm a nurse and spend most of my day doing wound care. The dressing packs we use come with a disposable apron. Most of the wounds I deal with are comparatively minor and wearing an apron to deal with a splinter or similar feels wasteful. I'd love to avoid throwing them all out as I've collected hundreds, so if anyone has a suggestion for what I can do with them I'd love your input.

Local services Recommendations for Smart Heating Control fitters?

1 Upvotes

I‘m getting ready for winter and want to avoid freezing / paying a fortune on gas bills. I’m hoping to install s smart heating control system - perhaps the Drayton Wiser - and I’m looking for a recommended local installer to assess our house, design a system and fit it.

Any recommendations?

There’s a company called Cambridge Smart Hesting who seem to specialise in this kind of work. Has anyone used them? Advice much appreciated!
