The Sun Goes Down on the Monday Club
The recent closure of Monday Club is a devastating blow for Camber on many levels. The immediate impact, of course, is on the staff who lost their jobs, the parents who have lost a vital childcare facility, and the young children who enjoyed the afterschool fun in a safe environment. It is known – and…

Power Down
At the end of January, some Camber residents were advised they would have short power cuts over a couple of days as a large transformer was being replaced in Camber.
