Bigger and better….the Volunteer Extravagaza Group have raised the bar – having applied for various funding from many organisations have allowed for a late afternoon/early evening of attractions for children to enjoy.

A fun family few friendly hours – organised by Volunteers from the
Whittlesey Extravaganza Group.
Anglian Water were ‘questioned’ on a number of concerns and issues, especially with the planned new reservoir being planned.
Myself had some ‘accountability’ questioning and when it came to AW Pollution recorded the representatives answered and apologised about their recent historical records, and seemed a little rattled and comfortable.
My questions were :-
What do you consider to be termed as Water Pollution?
Where does Water Pollution come from?
Who is responsible for dealing with Water Pollution?
Anglian Water pleaded guilty and was hit with a fine of £2.65 million after allowing untreated sewage to overflow into the North Sea following a prosecution brought by the Environment Agency. What are Anglian Water doing to prevent ongoing discharges in to our rivers and sea.
The report highlighted three main reasons Anglian Water remained a two-star company: Thirty-three sewerage pollution incidents per 10,000 km.
Anglian Water caused 255 incidents in 2022. This included 11 serious incidents. More than half of all of the serious pollution incidents nationally were from Anglian Water and Thames Water assets.
Anglian Water was the worst-performing water company for self-reporting of all pollution incidents.
The Environment Agency revealed in its annual report on the environmental performance of England’s nine water and sewerage companies today (July 12) that Anglian Water has been rated two stars.
Is Anglian Water irrespective of its investment putting profit before pollution?
WTC & FDC Cllr Sennitt Clough asked :-
Please can Anglian Water address the question of why sewerage was dumped into the Nene in Peterborough and what are they doing about the impact that is having on neighbouring towns such as Whittlesey?

Here are details of next Saturday’s movie eve – always good to see U3A members and guests with us!
Please be aware that, due to low attendances at the last two screenings, we will be monitoring numbers at this and the 16th Dec screenings and will make a decision as to whether these evenings can continue into the new year. We do not wish to change our procedures so screenings will always be free of charge with donations welcomed to defray expenses, however, it is simply not viable to continue with few persons coming along.
We look forward to your continued support.

Dear Roy,
Today (Monday, 27 November) the force is launching its third podcast series.
Cambs Cops: Our Stories follows detectives as they investigate a number of serious crimes, explores the role of a ‘999’ call taker and focuses on the force’s mental health car initiative.
By providing an open and honest insight into the force’s work and the complex issues it deals with, we hope to reach new audiences and inspire people to report crimes and information.
A number of episodes cover areas we have never previously talked about and we hope, as a result, people have a greater understanding of those areas of work.
We also tackle some particularly sensitive topics where we hear first-hand the impact crimes have had on victims.
We hope that by hearing these, people who have faced similar situations and not felt able or willing to report their crimes, will be encouraged to do so.
Episodes provide a snapshot of force life in a way listeners can access at an opportunity convenient to them.
All episodes are now live on the force’s website and You Tube channel.
They are also available on Podbean, Google and Apple.
We hope you enjoy the series.
Kind regards,
Shelley Spratt
Deputy Head of Corporate Communications
