I’m seeking your support and compliance as we begin the new academic year.
As you will be aware, the demand on police resources is significant and I must manage the demand we face against the resources I have at my disposal.
One of the most common complaints my team and I receive is about illegal parking, in particular around the schools when taking and collecting young people from their place of education. In an ideal world I would not have to deploy any resources to address parking issues, and I could focus our time on issues of greater risk.
However, some parking presents a risk to the public – and our children – that we cannot ignore.
Let me first say thank you to those of you who do park legally and show due consideration for other road users and young people.
For those who do not, I am asking you please to take responsibility for your parking, ensure you park legally and with consideration for other road users.
By doing so this will present a far safer environment in which everyone can take and collect their child from school.
By way of a reminder, the most common offences are listed here within the highway code 
The Highway Code – Waiting and parking (238 to 252) – Guidance – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
My team and I will continue to work with schools and the community safety partnership to identify initiatives and funding to support Safer Schools initiatives. We will also continue to provide high visibility patrols and for those who choose to ignore legislation and public safety, we will carry out enforcement activity.
If you do have concerns regarding parking matters, please report the issues through our online reporting portal
Report illegal parking | Cambridgeshire Constabulary (cambs.police.uk)
Thank you for your support and co-operation in creating a safer environment for all.
Your sincerely,
Inspector Andy Morris
(Fenland Neighbourhood Policing Team.

Business at The Letter B in Whittlesey is “thriving”, its new landlord says.
While pubs across the country are struggling – with many sadly closing – Adam Turbanski says that “business has been very good” at his pub – “it’s busy, it’s steady”.
Mr Turbanski bought the Church Street premises in 2021 – after its previous landlord, Bruce Roan, sold up and retired – and re-opened it in 2022.
