As usual the keyboard warriors on social media (I am not part of it – but am sent what is trending) are complaining as they do about our Neighbourhood Police Team, the Police are ‘wrong’ if they do and wrong if they don’t….
Parking & Speeding are ‘priorities’ set by the Public – we all have an opportunity to set these priorities… Maybe the Keyboard Warriors are too busy on Social Media…?
Posted here regularly – Have YOUR say – places a link for members of public to put their views to various organisations including the Police.
The March Neighbourhood Policing Team have been patrolling Whittlesey and issuing tickets to vehicles overstaying in the 1-hour limit parking spaces on the High Street.
Please read the parking signs carefully. They tell you how long you can park somewhere and if there are any restrictions – reading the sign might save you a fine!
#MarchNPT
Speeding in the rural parishes is a priority for the March Neighbourhood Policing Team.
This is a priority as set jointly by the local community and from our own policing data from recorded crime.
Today we’ve carried out speed checks and within about 5 minutes in Coates Road we had stopped and ticketed a driver for travelling at 37mph in a 30mph zone.
Thankfully, most drivers were following the speed limit 
We will continue to be out in the various areas conducting speed checks.
