A new shop offering “proper ice cream” is planning to open its doors to customers in Cambridge. Spoonstruck is planning to take over a shop in King’s Parade, where the business says it hopes to offer people ‘some of the best ice cream in the UK. Up until now the business said it has mostly sold its ice cream at various markets around Cambridgeshire.

New plans submitted to Cambridge City Council reveal the business’s plans to open a permanent store in King’s Parade. The business owners said they started making ice cream after having a lot of “mediocre ice cream” in the UK and said they wanted to offer people “proper ice cream”.

They said: “We want to make - and believe most people want to eat - ice creams where flavours are intense and not cluttered with aftertastes from cheap ‘tastes like’ artificial additives. Chocolate should be intensely chocolatey, pistachio shouldn’t taste like almonds, subtle flavour combinations should work in tandem without overpowering one another. We believe great-tasting products can be made from simple, quality ingredients and we care about where they’re sourced.”

The business owners plan to repaint the outside of the King’s Parade shop pink to match the company’s branding. They said the other changes planned inside the building to create the new ice cream shop would not harm the historic fabric of the building. In the planning documents it said: “The proposals allow for enhancements and ongoing maintenance to the asset.

“Changes to the internal layout will not impact any of the historic fabric of the building. A new stud partition wall is proposed along with free standing joinery, which will not impact the listed building. The external fabric of the building is proposed to remain unchanged. Branding will simply be replaced on the existing sign, and manifestation to the glazing.”

The city council is now due to consider the application to repaint the shopfront pink and for the new ice cream shop signs and decide whether the changes can go ahead.

    In preliminary findings to be issued this week, regulators will say that they are worried about Meta's "pay or consent" model, according to the report. Meta launched the no-ads subscription service for Facebook and Instagram in Europe last November, saying users who consent to be tracked get a free service which is funded by advertising revenues or pay not to have their data shared. According to the FT report, the regulators are expected to say that the choice presented by Meta risks giving users a false alternative, with the financial barrier forcing them to consent to their personal data being tracked for advertising purposes.

  • Meta could face £10 billion fine as EU set to pursue rule break charge

    The EU’s crackdown on the practices of Big Tech stepped up a gear today after social media giant Meta was braced for as much as £10 billion in fines for an alleged violation of competition rules. The Facebook and Instagram owner is to be told that its new ‘pay or consent’ model, under which users must pay a fee if they refuse to have their data harvested on the platform, was in breach of the EU’s new Digital Markets Act with which tech firms were expected to comply from the beginning of March. The EU is set to complain that the pay or consent policy risks presenting a ‘false alternative’ to users of the social media platforms, according to a report in the Financial Times, and that the cost of rejecting personal data collection could force some users to give their consent.
