Well 2010 certainly started with a bang with up to a foot of snow in places which fell overnight on the 5th / 6th January and again the following week. During this time temperatures plummeted to a low of -10 Deg. C and the icy conditions reduced road traffic to a minimum. It did create a great photographic opportunity though as the town took on a completely new look.

Around town, although hampered by the snow earlier in the month, work is accelerating to ensure that the new Sainsbury's supermarket opens as planned in March. This is causing short-term delays while half of castle Street is controlled by traffic lights but hopefully this will improve as soon as the paving is finished and the lights removed.

On the old Lister's site, now known as Littlecombe, rapid changes are obvious in Upper Cam as many of the new houses near completion and residents move in.
