The boiler supplying hot water for the showers has broken down, it was reported last week, I understand as of 11:30 this morning they are still waiting for someone to come and have a look.
The Boilers for the Swimming Pool are working fine (New Boilers also are know to break down).
At Whittlesey Neighbourhood Watch we have over 350 active members signed up the ‘ALERT’ this is a Police/NHW communication system.
We don’t send or receive too many messages unless there is a need.
All information about ALERT and a vast amount of information can be found on the Whittlesey NHW Website.

This is a message from the Environment Agency.
Flood Warning no longer in force: North Bank Road alongside the River Nene, east of Peterborough and west of Dog-in-a-Doublet Sluice.
The situation is improving and no further flooding is expected in this area.
Please note no news yet on the B1040
Flood Warnings and Alerts may still be in force for surrounding areas.
The River Nene has being falling steadily today, Sunday 8th December. North Bank Road will be reopened once the Highways Authority have been able to inspect the road surface and carry out any necessary works to ensure the road is passable.
High flows coming down the River Nene are causing levels to rise. During periods of high tide the River Nene will be unable to discharge into the sea, resulting in tide lock conditions. This is likely to lead to localised flooding of the North Bank Road, between Peterborough and Rings End. Whilst this Flood Warning is in force, the Local Authority will close North Bank Road. Diversionary routes will be put in place and further updates will be available through local media.
Please avoid using low lying footpaths near local watercourses and plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded. We are closely monitoring the situation and this message will be updated on Sunday 8th December, or before, if the situation changes.

We were called earlier this week by someone who was concerned for a relative with Alzheimer’s who had gone for a walk in near Peterborough, and had not returned.
Officers headed out to the area to look for her, and fortunately the woman in her 80s was found safe and well by a member of the public who had joined the search.
Thank you to the person who called in with the concern and to the community for helping us in finding the woman.
The family have since completed a Herbert Protocol form.
Have you heard of the Herbert Protocol? It is a scheme we support that can help find people with dementia if they go missing.
The scheme encourages you to keep a document that will help us if a loved one goes missing by collating key pieces of information – such as a physical description, familiar places, health details and a recent photo.
If this is something you wish to do for someone you know, or want to find out more about the scheme, you can visit our dedicated webpage.
