Missing Cat
We live in Burwell and have lost our cat. He is one year old, grey and white, with a green reflective collar. He is a much loved family pet and has never gone missing before. He went missing on 23rd November. We think he may be in an outbuilding in the Buntings Path area or that someone has taken him as lost and is looking after him, as he is very loveable. If you can help, it would be much appreciated. Thankyou

Hello - We are thinking of moving to Burwell and have two small children - 6m and 2 yrs. Are there any playgroups/mother and toddler groups in the area where they (and I) would be able to make new friends. Any information would be much appreciated.

Just curious, are there any people living in the village of Burwell with the last name of Burwell?
By the way, your community events pictures are very nice.

Home wanted for Billy!!
Billy is a retired hospital cat. He has spent the last 15 years supervising doctors, nurses and patients at an inner city hospital in London. As Billy is getting into the winter of his life, he needs a home all to himself, with all the love and attention some very special person out there would be willing to give. Billy is an extremely adaptable cat, having been used to getting on with so many different people at any time, he is a friendly, outgoing little character, in search of a cosy corner to spend the rest of his days.
Any kind offers would be much appreciated!
