Hawk conservation trust receives grant
She added: "The enhanced PA systems will also create a more immersive experience, ensuring all visitors, including those with accessibility needs, can fully enjoy our demonstrations."Maureen Flood, councillor for the Anna ward, said the trust played a "vital role in educating visitors and protecting birds of prey". "The new lighting system replaces a less efficient battery lighting system and prioritises sustainability while enhancing accessibility, and the upgraded PA systems will provide a more engaging experience for all visitors," she explained.
In addition to the £15,460 grant, the trust has also received £3,750 from a UK Shared Prosperity Fund Net Zero grant, which is going towards a solar project aimed at reducing the organisation's carbon footprint. The solar panels on the visitor centre's roof are to cut energy costs, particularly for its catering facilities.

Cambridge punting at risk amid £25 million funding crisis
Cambridge 's iconic punting tradition faces an existential threat, as two crucial locks on the River Cam are in "imminent danger of collapse". The potential failure of these structures could lower the river's water level to a "muddy trickle", according to the organisation managing the waterway – effectively ending the century-old pastime. The flat-bottomed boats, propelled by a long pole against the river bed, have been a beloved attraction for visitors to the prestigious university city for decades. However, fears are mounting that a collapse could take out a sluice, devastating the river's flow. David Goode, chair of the Conservators of the River Cam, said that a structural engineer surveyed both Jesus Green Lock, near central Cambridge, and Bait's Bite Lock, further north, in May 2024, assessing them as "in imminent danger of collapse". Both locks currently remain closed to navigation, deemed "unsafe". Boaters on the section of river between the two locks are trapped, and Mr Goode said if Jesus Green Lock fails it could cause the water level to drop to a 'muddy trickle'. He said the river level is 'artificially held high' to allow navigation. 'The lock irons are directly connected to the sluices so if the lock island collapses it's going to take out the Environment Agency sluice with it, I imagine, and that would be the issue with water level,' said Mr Goode. 'Because then the water level would not be maintained at its current depth which it is on the Backs, which is the section of the river where the punting takes place. He said that 'every 20 years or so' the conservators ask the Environment Agency to drop the river level so 'we can clear the crap out of the river'. 'Bikes, shopping trolleys, all the things students and townspeople throw in on a drunken night out,' said Mr Goode. 'When we do that we let the water out so we simulate what would happen if the sluice or the weir failed. 'All that's left is a muddy trickle. 'You would not be able to support punting at all. 'You could walk across it (the river) from one side to the other. 'So that would be the end of punting if that were to happen.' He said people had asked if a lock could be opened on a temporary basis to allow the trapped boats out 'but we felt we couldn't take that risk'. 'Could you imagine if we opened it and the thing collapsed while someone was in the lock?' he said. He said that £1.6 million 'stabilisation work', described as a 'temporary fix that will enable us to reopen the lock safely', would start at Bait's Bite lock from 25 August. Mr Goode said that fix could last five to 10 years. But he said work to replace the two locks could cost around £25 million and the conservators do not have the money to do it. He said the conservators are governed by 'several ageing acts of parliament' which allow them to charge registration fees – with the bulk of income from people registering vessels on the waterway. This includes punts, commercial and privately owned, and powered boaters. 'Our annual income from that is around £700,000,' said Mr Goode. He continued: 'Our day-to-day operating expenses are around about that so we run a very tight ship which leaves us with no money left or very little money left at the end of each financial year.' Mr Goode said they have 'sold the family silver', including some cottages and the former conservator's house which they owned, and now have the funds to stabilise Bait's Bite Lock – but 'no more after that'. He added that the Conservators of the River Cam are recruiting a business consultant, and looking to work with stakeholders such as the university, colleges, city and county councils to find a way of funding replacing the locks.

‘Unsafe' structures threaten century-old tourist pastime
Cambridge 's iconic punting tradition faces an existential threat as two crucial locks on the River Cam are in imminent danger of collapse. A structural engineer's survey in May 2024 deemed both Jesus Green Lock and Bait's Bite Lock 'unsafe', leading to their closure and trapping boats between them. The potential failure of these structures could lower the river's water level to a muddy trickle, effectively ending the century-old pastime. Temporary stabilisation work costing £1.6 million is set to begin at Bait's Bite Lock on 25 August, but a full replacement of both locks is estimated at £25 million. The Conservators of the River Cam lack the funds for the extensive repairs, with their annual income primarily covering operational costs, and are seeking external funding from stakeholders.

Booze up: is gen-Z's ‘sensible' relationship with alcohol moving towards hedonism?
Gen-Z have long been hailed as 'generation sensible' – dozens of articles have charted how they drink less alcohol, exercise more, eat healthier and have ditched night clubs for book clubs. But could that be about to change? Recent data has shown the proportion of gen Z – those born roughly between 1997 and 2012 – who are of legal drinking age and have consumed alcohol in the past six months has risen by 7% between 2024 and 2025. Alcopops are apparently all the rage among gen-Z customers, with booming sales of Smirnoff Ice, Bacardi Breezers and BuzzBallz, while last year's 'brat summer' was said to herald the end of the clean living era. The reality, experts say, is more complicated than that. 'We're seeing a generational recalibration, not a simple return to hedonism,' said Ivo Vlaev, a professor of behavioural science at Warwick University. 'This isn't a simple return to the past – it's a complex blend of coping, compensation, identity expression and socioeconomic constraint. The behaviours may look familiar, but the psychology behind them has evolved.' He said the fact that gen-Z came of age during a pandemic, climate crisis and increased concerns over the cost of living was a recipe for 'psychological whiplash'. Key factors at play included a rebound from the restrictions of the Covid era with young people now 'reasserting agency through social behaviours'. Vlaev said research showed that 'when autonomy is suppressed, people later overcompensate with behaviours that signal freedom or control'. There was also an element of 'self-soothing' as a result of rising levels of anxiety, depression and loneliness, as well as the glamorisation of certain drinks and behaviours on TikTok. Financial concerns may have also pushed the younger generation towards 'present-biased decision-making'. 'When the future feels unstable, people are less likely to invest in long-term health and more likely to seek short-term mood boosts, like alcohol or late nights out,' he said. Vlaev also said an element of 'wellness culture' fatigue had probably set in. 'Some gen-Zers are pushing back against the pressure to optimise every aspect of life,' he said. Richard Halstead, chief operation officer of consumer research at drinks market analysis company IWSR, said: 'From a consumer research and data point of view, it does seem there is some pushback on this idea that we're all perfect, having perfect pictures taken of us on Instagram and we're all super in control of our lives. 'Every cultural move has a countercultural move associated with it.' He said gen Z's attitudes towards drinking and socialising was more nuanced than is often portrayed in the media – gen Z were not 'puritans' who abstain from alcohol, but nor did they like booze as much as previous generations. 'The idea that gen Z do not drink at all or that they have turned their backs on alcohol is not supported by data,' he said. 'The idea that they have a different relationship with alcohol compared to previous generations is supported by data.' He said that, for instance, gen-Z were more likely to drink a wider variety of alcohols, and drink out in bars and restaurants. 'Their pattern of behaviour is actually going out for a reason, as opposed to just meeting for a pint in the pub because the pub's there and you've got nothing better to do,' he said. Dr Laura Tinner, a research fellow at the Centre for Public Health at the University of Bristol, said people shouldn't underestimate the power of the alcohol companies themselves, keen to capture a younger audience they feared they were losing. 'It's not necessarily that there has been a swing in the pendulum or a return to previous drinking behaviours, it's more that alcohol companies are continually trying to target young people with their products,' she said. 'They are using the current revival and zeitgeist around 00s and 90s culture to design their products to target young people.' There was also a suggestion that gen-Z were simply older – they are now roughly between the ages of 13 and 28 – so those at the older end of the group were more likely to have access to well paid jobs and disposable income. 'I think we're seeing some tailwinds develop,' said Halstead. 'They're getting older so some are probably in better paying, stable jobs and they've got more opportunity perhaps to do things that people with a bit more money like to do, which is go out and buy a drink and not worry too much about how much it costs you.' What many researchers were interested in was whether the characteristics that make gen Z different from their predecessors will stay with them as they age, with evidence suggesting generations become more and more similar as they get older. 'We've always had a question about whether or not the decline [in drinking alcohol] will persist into adulthood,' said Dr Laura Fenton, a research associate at the University of Sheffield who specialises in youth drinking cultures. 'What makes gen-Z slightly distinct as a generation is their attitude towards risk. They've engaged in fewer [risky pursuits] proportionally compared to people their age 20 years ago – and that extends to sex, it extends to driving, it extends to smoking and drug use,' she said. 'I think the question really is, is their approach to risk going to stay intact?'
