Sensationalism is Becoming the norm for Cllr Dr. Haq Nawaz
The presentation of stories in a way that is intended to provoke public interest or excitement, at the expense of accuracy.
I have deliberately held back on Cllr Haq’s electioning campaign for the forth-coming County Council Elections – needless to say I can not support him in any form or way.
He once accused someone of character assassination. Sorry this is not my way of engaging.
There will be much more coming Dr Haq’s way should he want it – and it will be honest and truthful.
His lastest I understand in his quest for sensationalism is…..misinformation.
I hope this is something for your blog. I am absolutely fuming about it.
Attached is a screen dump of Haq’s latest Facebook Post – which claims that SHS has been banded as ‘well below average’ by Ofsted. (His quotes not mine). It hasn’t.
The last report maintained its status as “good” although said it might be downgraded if it were a full inspection. It highlights a few issues – but it certainly has not been banded as well below average.

Update #2 WTC Full Council Agenda – Thursday 20th March
I’ve had quite a few requests for me to send/publish both minutes of last months WTC Full Council meeting and the minutes of the Johnsons liaison meeting.
After seeking advice – I will hope to publish both on this web-blog platform sometime around 22:30 tonight.
Although ‘we’ are not allowed to publish the Police Report from our Neighbourhood Sergeant, I though I’d share just a little as it is in the interest of the public.
After ‘lots’ of complaints about ‘illegal/inconsiderate parking’ \ St Mary’s Street – our Sgt has confirmed that a number of tickets have been issued.
Other good news for some…

One Small Step Forward – Three Tickets Issued During Speed Checks in Coates
Considering our MVAS Boxes have recorded speeds in excess of 100mph (night-time) and the average for the A605 through Coates is well over 30mph, these were the unlucky ones.
So we’ve had some Parking Tickets (that has been ongoing) and now some Speeding Tickets – I’ve had complaints the Police are heavy handed? – Can’t win….
Another day of us responding to your concerns, this time addressing speeding in Coates!
We carried out speed checks along Coates Road on Saturday, in response to your concerns about people not slowing down to 30mph when driving through the village.
Three tickets were given to drivers going 37mph, 38mph, and 40mph in a 30mph zone, who all told us they weren’t paying attention! It is important to be aware of speed limits changing as they are there to protect everyone.
We also carried out speed checks along East Delph in Whittlesey, and the 60mph stretch of Coates Road, and we’re pleased to say no one was caught speeding on this occasion – but we could be back at any time!
It was great to hear such positive feedback from those who stopped to speak to us.
Do you have any concerns? Let us know here
