An ICE CREAM WAR has kicked off in a small market town in Cambridgeshire after a seller was booted out of the park where he has been selling cones for 15 YEARS.
Frank Cannata, who runs Frank’s Ices, was asked to leave Wisbech Park, owned by Fenland District Council, after new tenants took over the café – and installed an ice cream machine.

One of the UK’s LARGEST and OLDEST London plane trees, which towers at 42-metres high in Ely, Cambs – and is almost on a level with the roof of the nearby iconic Cathedral - will be safeguarded for the future using a new technique which has not been used in Britain before.
The tree is believed to have been given to the Bishop of Ely for his palace garden, which is now part of King's private school, in Ely, by Charles II around 1674. Now a £121,00 National Lottery grant – the first allocated to an individual tree - will fund innovative bracing and pruning work to be carried out by Italian and UK experts using “morphophysiology.”
