Time out in Cambridge

Cambridge Town Clock confusion – time locked at 11.54 but it’s only 10.57.

Cambridge’s town clock is playing up again, but it had nothing to do with daylight saving when clocks went forward an hour on Sunday morning.

A mechanical part became jammed last week, freezing the time at 11.54 – which just added to the daylight saving confusion for some residents.

A contractor fixed the problem yesterday.

The clock’s chimes have been turned off due to a sequencing issue. They will be fixed after refurbishment work begins next month.
