Author and musician Luke Settle with his favourite book - Lisey s Story by Stephen King.
âThe reason why this book stood out against any other that I have read is because it felt as though the author was speaking directly to me from every single page. This wasnât just a book that was incredibly well written, nor did it just tell a magical story.it formed a connection through chapters of relatable emotions trigged from buried memories.â

Plans to install new play equipment on Crowland s Snowden Field will go ahead, despite opposition from the parish council s chairman.
During a virtual meeting on Monday, councillors voted six-one, with one abstention, to go ahead with buying nine new pieces of equipment, including swings, slides and activity panels for the toddlers play area, off Thorney Road.
Funding for the plans will come from developers contributions as part of new homes built in Crowland and work to install the play equipment is due to start next February.
