Most of us, (myself included, until recently) have not realised the vital role that Internal Drainage Boards play in keeping our area free from flooding, they play a key part along with The Environment Agency in maintaining water levels throughout the Fens.
A machete-wielding kidnapper and burglar. A woman who ran over a one-year-old relative in her car.
These are just some of the faces our officers have helped to put behind bars this week.

In response to a planned car meet, a dispersal order covering the whole of Cambridgeshire will be in place this weekend.
The measure has been taken by the force following information about the event due to take place in Peterborough on Saturday evening (10 February), as well as recent events of car meets and anti-social driving.
The order, which will be in place from 5pm tomorrow evening (Saturday) to 7am on Sunday (11 February), has been granted under the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 and allows police officers to direct a person to leave the area specified within the order if there are reasonable grounds to suspect their behaviour has contributed or is likely to contribute to members of the public feeling harassed, alarmed or distressed, or the occurrence of crime or disorder.
Failure to comply with the order can result in arrest.
Inspector Connor Hall, from Peterborough’s Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “Car meets and the associated anti-social behaviour has been a problem in Peterborough for some time, which is why it is an ongoing priority for our Peterborough southern Neighbourhood Policing Team to tackle”
“Although these events are often intended to be a good-natured for car enthusiasts, they also have a history of becoming anti-social and cause issues for the local community due to behaviour such as excessive noise, reckless and dangerous driving, and causing damage to road surfaces.
“Over the weekend, we will have patrols in place across the city, particularly the known hotspot locations for these meets, to enforce the dispersal order.”
Anti-social driving can be reported to police via the web chat service or online forms at www.cambs.police.uk/report. Anyone without internet access should call 101.
If a crime is in action, or someone is in immediate danger, always dial 999.
Cases of measles are continuing to rise in some areas of the country. Make sure you and your family are protected by having both doses of the free MMR vaccine.
Measles is more than just a rash – it is an infection which spreads very easily and can cause serious complications in some people.

Heavy rain is currently falling in the Peterborough area which is causing the River levels to rise on the River Nene. 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 by 17:00 on 10/02/24, or before, if the situation changes.
Flood warning area: North Bank Road alongside the River Nene to the east of Peterborough and the West of the Dog-in-a-Doublet Sluice.
