Another car is off the roads after it caught the eyes of our neighbourhood officers in High Street in Benwick this morning.
After being stopped, the driver admitted to not having a driving licence or insurance, so the car was seized, and she will be reported for the offences. 
Do you have information about someone who may be committing a driving offence? You can report it to us by calling 101 or online

From Street Pride Secretary – Peter Davies.
It is with regret that I have to inform you of the passing this morning of Fred Mills, past Chairman of Street Pride 2015 – 2023. Eight years of fun, and joy with you in command.
Fred was always there, helping out not only at the litter picks, but also he arranged all of the outside presence at the Extravaganza, The Summer Festival and the Big Bash. He organised the tables, prizes plus the banners.
He and Rose would sit there all day selling raffle tickets at the Big Bash for the Tesco’s cake, which he had also arranged.
He was ever present at the social events, being there, selling Street Pride to would be members.
Fred you will be missed and now may you rest in peace, without the pain that you have had to endure these past months.
Hundreds if not Thousands of local residents were taught by John, including myself who already had a South Aftrican Licence – and Connie, we both were luckily enough to pass first time.
Condolences.
Stannard June and John (Leslie) From Whittlesey, Cambridgeshire and more recently, Weeting, Norfolk.

We all are concerned of the future of this Green open space, after years of regular vandalism and for-ever trolled about the lack of equipement and upkeep.
The Recreation Ground is ‘owned’ by Fenland District Council, and it’s my undersatnding it was ‘gifted’ by a Mr. Bundy.
Cllr Nawaz has lead a campaign to secure its furure, but he is not alone in that ‘We’ all want to keep it and see what can be achieved in the longer term.

Presented at last weeks WTC meeting, remember when the Lincs Co-Op first made plans to build a small form supermarket – there was a lot of opposition including some Councillors. Planning permission was granted by FDC and now there’s some community money to be had – well some have had a change of tune.
Whether the supermarket is viable is not for us to decide but down to market forces.
Today Morrisons have announced closure of a number of convienient stores.
The Lincolnshire Co-Op, as with many others including our own NISALocal have made very charitable grants and donations to many local groups and causes over a number of years.
The RBL are holding a “Indoor Street Party” at Childers on the 9th May – more when I have details.
Saturday 29 March 2025 – Members will be taking part in the Great Tommy Sleep Out at Decoy Lakes.
Thursday 08 May 2025 – The Branch will be holding a short ceremony at the War Memorial VE Day Parade.
At yesterdays FDC Cabinet Meeting….
I have been asked about this on a number of occasions, and when I investigated was told by FDC officers there wasn’t the ‘footfall’ to justify the expense, only last year I was asked by The Friends of The Manor to look into it again and I got rough costings of around £400K but didn’t realy have a gateway to fund this project.
I am pleased that there has been a change of ‘tune’, and come about by a capital funding program known as ‘Inspire Fenland’ I understand that Cllr Elizabeth Sennitt-Clough (a Park Running) has been lobbying for this project.
Below is an extract from yesterdays cabinet meeting, traditional tarmacadam path, bound by concrete edging is the answer in this location and will last many years.
I am hoping that the estimate costing of £300K is realistic and deliverable.
Naturally it will be an excellent asset to the Manor Field, including Park Runners, Dog Walkers and those with Mobility Scooters.
Also suggested more robust picnic tables and benches.
Fenland health and wellbeing services want to hear from local residents on experiences of loneliness and isolation. The survey will be open until the 11th of May for you to anonymously share your views.
