Please NO Speculation about the Fire…..

It didn’t take long for ‘some’ keyboard warriors to start making accusations on the cause of the fire – Stevensons Field Ramsey Road.

I have had several phone calls – SO If anyone has information, witnessed or has evidence then I urge you to be a good citizen and report it to the Police….

This evening I checked and the Ramsey Road Railway Crossing is closed for the time being and vehicles are having to turn around and find alternate routes – I understand that Milk & Water Drove is also closed – so challenging times.
I am informed there have been no trains running by……
Understandably with the fire next to the Railway Line, Network Rail and the operators will carry out safety checks before allowing the opening up of the line.

At 19:15 I presume it was Mr Stevenson was ‘ploughing’ the damaged area of the field.
Fire Engine damping down.

Serious Fire – Stevensons Field Ramsey Road

I was in Coates when I saw the plume over Whittlesey – 20 minutes later I arrived with many others to see many Fire Engines/Support Vehicles & Ambulances along Aliwal Road,
I came back home along Ramsey Road, where several dozens were watching.
Fortunately river/drain nearby for water, I’ll have another look later.
(Someone has taken photo’s from a train passing by – I don’t have these)

Courier Fraud Warning

Dear Roy

On a balmy summer afternoon in Cambridgeshire, an elderly man received a series of worrying phone calls from the Financial Conduct Authority.  

The person on the line told him they were involved in an important investigation into gangs targeting elderly individuals and needed to know if he had anything valuable in his house that might put him at risk. 

He informed them he had some gold coins worth around £100,000. They explained they needed to collect the coins for his safety and to keep them safe from the gangs. 

The elderly man got the coins ready in a bag and later that day he received a knock at the door…

He dutifully handed over the coins as instructed and later received a call thanking him for doing so and requesting he didn’t speak to the bank or police about their conversations. 

Shortly after these calls, reality dawned on the vulnerable man as he began to realise this was a scam. 

An investigation has been launched.
